Elements

pure substances - one chemical

Isotope

unstable atom with more neutrons that usual

3. 8

Stable atom

When the outer electron level is full. Atoms want to achieve this.

Ionic bond

most likely bond by metal and a nonmetal. the metal gives their electrons to the nonmetals

Cation

Positive

Anion

negative

Covalent bond

chemical bonds. these bonds share pairs of electrons

What are the two types of covalent bonds?

nonpolar & polar

polar molecule

molecules w/ unequal distribution of electrical changes. partially negative, and partially positive, like water molecules.

In a hydrogen bond, which element is partially positive?

hydrogen

In a hydrogen bond, which element is partially negative?

oxygen

Cohesion

attraction by the same molecules

Surfance tension

water molecules resisting external forces

adhesion

attraction by different molecules

Capillarity

movement of liquid thought cohesion and adhesion

High Heat Capacity

absorbing large amount of energy by heat with small or no changes in temperature

Density

compactness of a substance

Why does ice float over water?

Density of ice is less dense that liquid water.

Solvent

large # of substances dissolved by water

Mixture

two or more materials, elements, or compounds that are physically mixed, but not physically combined or chemically

Solution

ions becoming dispered in the water

Solute

The substance that is dissolved

Solvent

The substance that the solute is dissolved in

High heat of vaporization

How much heat is pulled from a surface when a substance evaporates

Suspension

mixture of water with a substance that cannot be dissolved in water

ph scale

scale w/ values that measures H+ ions

scale ranges from

0-14

Hydroxide Ion

-OH

Hydronium Ion

H3O

hydrogonium

when the # of hydrogen ions is greater than hydroxide ions, positive

Hydroxide

more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions

in the pH scale, where are the acids? what number is the strongest acid

left side, 0

in the pH scale, where are the bases? what number is the strongest bases

right side, 14

ph scale is measures is

logarithmic scale

what # on the ph scale is neutral

7

Organic compound

any compund that has carbon

What type of covalent bonds can carbon form?

single, double, & triple

What does a hydroxyl/alcohol function group look like?

ends w/ -OH

Polar molecules are hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

hydrophilic, meaning soluble in water

Carbonyl group

carbon forming a double bond with an oxygen atom

what are the two types of carbonyl groups?

aldehyde & ketone

What does an aldehyde look like?

double bond oxygen at end of chain

What does a ketone look like?

double bond oxygen in the middle of the chain

What does a sulfhydryl/thiol group look like?

sulfur and hydrogen

memorize this lil bro

Macromolecules

large molecules formed by combining smaller molecules

4 groups of macromolecules found in living things

Carbohydrates, lipids, protein, & nucleic acid

Monomers

molecules that can react with other molecules to form larger molecules

polymer

molecules made from repeating units of identical or nearly identical compounds

C:H:O:N:P

1:1:1:1:1

what is dehydration synthesis?

monomers linked by a chemical reaction which removes water to form macromolecules. Goes from small to big.

What is hydrolysis?

water molecule is added to break apart a polymer. Goes from big to small.

What do carbohydrates do?

1. provide energy

2. provide dietary fiber
