🗑
What is a polar covalent bond   The electrons spend more time on one end than the other on a molecule  
🗑
What is the most common polar covalent bonded molecule in the body   Water  
🗑
What is hydrogen bond   Exists between 2 polar molecules that contain hydrogen  
🗑
What are 2 most common hydrogen bonded molecules in the body   H2O, DNA  
🗑
What is a no polar covalent bond   Both molecules are neutral , so they spend equal time around eachother  
🗑

🗑
What pH is considered neutral   pH 7 (10-7)  
🗑
What does a pH of 6 mean   Acidic  
🗑
What does a pH of 8 mean   Base  
🗑
How do you know if something is an acid   Disassociative solution and releases hydrogen And something else. Ex. HCL  
🗑
How do you know if something is a base   Salute that removes hydrogen ions from solutions breaks down into OH-. Ex. HCO3-  
🗑
How do you know if something is a salt   They dissociate completely into cations and anions
