Term
Definition
polymer   A substance of high molecular weight with long, chain-like molecules consisting of many similar(repeated units).  
🗑
isotope   Different atomic forms of the same element , which vary only in the number of neurons they contain; the heavier species tend to be radioactive.  
🗑
atomic number   The number of protons in an atom.  
🗑
mass number   Sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
mole   A __ of any element or compound is equal to its atomic weight or its molecular weight( sum of atomic weights) measured in grams.  
🗑
atomic weight   The average of the mass numbers of all the isotopes of an element.  
🗑
compound   Substance composed of two or more different elements, the atoms of which are chemically united.  
🗑
mixture   Substances composed of two or more components physically intermixed. 3 basic types are solutions, colloids, suspensions.  
🗑
radioisotopes   Isotope that exhibits radioactive behavior.  
🗑
colloids   1 A mixture in which the solute particles (usually proteins) do not settle out readily. 2 substance in the thyroid gland containing thyroglobulin protein.  
🗑
suspensions   Heterogeneous mixtures with large, often visible solutes that tend to settle out.  
🗑
cation   An ion with a positive charge.  
🗑
anion   An ion carrying one or more negative charges and therefore attracted to a positive pole.  
🗑
covalent bond   Chemical bond created by electron sharing between atoms.  
🗑
dipole   Nonsymmetrical molecules that contain electrically unbalanced atoms. A polar molecule.  
🗑
polar molecule   Nonsymmetrical molecules that contain electrically unbalanced atoms.  
🗑
chemical equilibrium   A state of apparent repose created by two reactions proceeding in opposite directions at equal speed.  
🗑
sythesis (combination) reaction   A chemical reaction in which larger, more complex atoms or molecules are formed from simpler ones.  
🗑
anabolism   Energy- requiring building phase of metabolism in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex substances.  
🗑
oxidized   Process of substances combining with oxygen or the removal of hydrogen.  
🗑
catabolism   Process in which living cells break down substances into simpler substances.  
🗑
oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions)   A reaction that couples the oxidation (loss of electrons) of one substance with the reduction (gain of electrons) of another substance.  
🗑
ion   Atom or molecule with a positive or negative electric charge.  
🗑
Electrolyte   Chemical substances, such as salts, acids, and bases, that ionize and dissociate in water and are capable of conducting an electrical current.  
🗑
mitosis   Process during which the chromosomes are redistributed to two daughter nuclei; nuclear division. Consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.  
🗑
ionic bond   Chemical bond formed by electron transfer between atoms.  
🗑
Solutions   Homogeneous mixtures of components that may be gases, liquids, or solids.  
🗑
Solvent   the substance present in the greatest amount or dissolving medium.  
🗑
Molarity   Moles per liter  
🗑
Molecular weight   sum of the atomic weights.  
🗑
exergonic reactions   reactions that release energy.  
🗑
endergonic reactions   reaction that absorbs energy.  
🗑
hydrolysis   process in which water is used to split a substance into smaller particles.  
🗑
dehydration systhesis   process by which a large molecule is synthesized by removing water and covalently bonding smaller molecules together.  
🗑
homogeneous   mixture has the same composition throughout.  
🗑
isomer   One of two or more substances that has the same molecular formula but with its atoms arranged differently.  
🗑
Molar   A solution concentration determined by mass of solute- 1 liter of solution contains an amount of solute equal to its molecular weight in grams.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
