What is the positively charged particle in an atom

proton
What three sub atomic particles make up atoms

They are protons neutrons and electrons

Nucleus

Center of an atom contains protons and neutrons

Electron

Negatively charged particle 1/1840 mass of a proton

How are all the elements of an isotope similar

They have the same number of electrons and same chemical properties

Element

Pure substance consisting of only one type of atom

The number of protons in the nucleus of an element

Atomic number

Atoms of the same element that don't have the same number of neutrons

isotopes

Atomic mass

The weighted average of the masses of an elements isotopes

Radioactive isotopes

Nuclei is unstable and breaks down

In what ways do compounds differ from their component elements
They are usually very different from tosh of the elements from which it was formed

Chemical Compound

Substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements I definite proportions
What are the main types of chemical bonds

The main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent bonds

Valence electrons

Electrons available to form bonds

Ionic bond

bond formed when electrons are transferred fro one atom to another

What happens when an atom loses an electron? what happens when they gain an electron
When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged. When it gains electrons it gives it a negative charge.

Ions

Positive and negative charged atoms
Single double and triple covalent bond

Single is when an atom shares two electrons. Double is when it shares 4 electrons. Triple is when it shares six electrons

Molecule

Smallest unit of most compounds
Van deer wall forces

intermolecular forces of attraction
How does the structure of water contribute to its unique properties
Because water is a polar molecule and is able to form multiple hydrogen bonds

A molecule where charges are unevenly distribitudedd

polar

The attraction between a hydrogen atom with a partial positive and partial negative charge

Hydrogen bond

Common negative atoms involved in hydrogen bonding

Oxygen nitrogen fluorine

Cohesion

Attraction between molecules of the same substance

adhesion

Attraction between molecules of different substances

Capillary action

Force that draws water out of roots of a plant to its stem and leaves

Name the 5 properties of water

Cohesion adhesion Heat capacity Polarity and hydrogen bonding

What does water being a polar molecule mean

Larger oxygen atom is a negative charge leaving hydrogen with a slight positive charge

What makes an organic molecule

Carbon

Name 4 macromolecules

Nucleic Acids Lipids Carbohydrates and Protein

Protein function

To build up tissue

Lipids function

To store long term energy

Carbohydrates function

Source of energy

Nucleic acids function

Store genetic information

Carbohydrate structure

Ring structure like stop sign octagonal

Lipid structure


Chain +++


+++


+++

What causes adhesion and cohesion in water molecules

Hydrogen bonds do
Enzymes are very specific generally working in one chemical reaction They can be affected by Temperature, P.H. and Regulatory molecules

True

A substance that speeds up the rate of the chemical reaction
Catalyst

If amino acids are the building blocks of proteins the ___________ makes polysacharides

monosaccharides

Mixture

Physically combined compound that can be taken apart

Solution

Chemical compound evenly distributed in water

Suspension

Not mixed thoroughly like water and oil
If it releases energy in one direction the opposite direction will

absorb

Energy needed to get a reaction started

Activation

Isotopes

Same number of protons different number of neutron
What makes water bond

There are four valence electrons

How does waters polarity influence its properties as a solvent

Waters polarity gives it the ability to dissolve both ionic compounds and polar molecules
PH scale

Measurement system to indicate concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions

Acid

Compound that forms H+ ions in a solution

Base

Compound that forms OH- ions in a solution

Buffers

Weak acids or bases that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp sudden changes in PH

Why is it important for cells to buffer solutions against rapid changes in PH

They play an important role in maintaining homeostasis

What elements does carbon bond with to make up life's molecules

They bond with hydrogen oxygen phosphorous sulfur and nitrogen to form the molecules of life
Monomers

Small molecules that join up to make polymers

Polymers

Made up of monomers

Carbohydrates are made Up of

Carbon hydrogen oxygen in ratio 1:2:1
monosaccharide

Single sugar molecules known as glucose

Polysaccharide l

Large molecules formed from monosaccharide called animal starch sometimes

Lipids are made of

Carbon and hydrogen
What do Nucleic acids contain

They contain hydrogen oxygen nitrogen carbon and phosphorous

Nucleotides

Polymers assembled from individual monomers they consist of 3 parts 5 carbon sugar phosphate group and a nitrogen base

Proteins contain

Nitrogen carbon hydrogen and oxygen

Amino acids

Compounds with an amino group
What happens to chemical compounds during reactions

They involve changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds

How do energy changes affect whether a chemical reaction will occur
Chemical reactions that release energy often occur on their own. Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without a source of energy

Chemical Reaction
Process that changes or transforms one set of chemicals to another
Reactants

The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction

The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction
products

Enzymes

Proteins that act as biological catalysts and they speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells

Carbonic Anhydrase

It catalyzes reverse reaction that removes water from carbonic acid
The recants of enzyme catalyzed reactions

Substrates
