| isomers | same molecular formula, different shape |
| polar bonds | high difference in electronegativity, if O or N is bonded with weak C or H |
| hydrophobic | nonpolar, does not disassociate in water |
| hydrophilic | polar, mixes with water |
| chemical properties of an atom are determined by the | number of valence electrons |
| a nonpolar covalent bond occurs when | a molecule's constituent atoms attract the electrons equally |
| hydrogen bonds are | between MOLECULES not atoms |
| full valence shell= | inert (Ar) |
| atoms with an ALMOST full valence shell | have a high electronegativity |
| atoms that have the same amount of valence electrons | have similar characteristics |
| HONC | 1234 |
| control | what is not changing (usually a specific group, test tube etc) |
| dependent variable | what is measured, what changes uncontrollably |
| independent variable | is changed purposely |
| ions are formed when | a neutral atoms gains or loses an electron |
| bond that requires the most energy to break | covalent bond |
| electron energy levels | 2-->8-->8; when one level is full it goes to the other, electrons do not share orbitals unless they have to, 2 per orbital if needed |
| the number of protons determined the | atomic number |
| in an ionic bond... | there is a mutual attraction between two charged atoms, INVOLVES ELECTRON TRANSFER |
| the cohesiveness (stickiness to itself) among water molecules is directly due to... | hydrogen bonds |

| adding H to an unsaturated fat will make it more saturated | true |
| chemical reactions that require a net input of free energy to proceed | endergonic reactions |
| glucose+glucose= | maltose |
| carbon atoms can form so many different chemical compounds because | its outer energy level contains four electrons |
| two classes or organic compounds that provide energy for living systems include | fats (lipids), and polysaccharides (carbs) |
| when a protein is denatured the _______ bonds remain intact | peptide |
| C and N in a polypeptide chain... | are bonded linearly to form the backbone |
| competitive inhibitor | compete with substrate molecules for active site and block it |
| noncompetitive inhibitor | bind to a second site on the enzyme and induce a conformational change |
| properties of water | high heat capacity, 3 naturally occurring states, universal solvent, expands as a solid, neutral pH, cohesion, surface tensions, adhesion, capillary action, doesn't evaporate as quickly as a np molecules |
| unstable atoms | have vacancies in their outer energy level; will react with other atoms to achieve stability |
| ionic bond | one or more electrons are completely transferred to another atoms, positive attracts negative (electrostatic attraction) |
| nonpolar covalent bond | electrons are SHARED EQUALLY between atoms |
| polar covalent bond | eletctrons are SHARED UNEQUALLY, closer to 1 atoms than the other because of difference in electronegativity |
| N, O | high electronegativity |
| H, C | weak electronegativity |
| hydrogen bonds | attractions between MOLECULES that have oppositely charged regions due to POLAR COVALENT bonds |
