Atom |
Are the smallest unit of an element that still has the chemical properties |
Everything we see is made of atoms. ex, everything |
|
Molecule |
Identical units that can be divided but will still be the same unit, they are made up of atoms |
I love to go swimming through molecules. ex, water |
|
Proton |
A positive charge found within the atom |
That guy sure is one proton kind of guy. ex, atom |
|
Electron |
A negative charge within the nucleus of an atom |
Please don't be like an electron. ex, atom |
|
Neutron |
A neutral charge within the nucleus of an atom |
I am going to remain a neutron in this argument ex, atom |
|
Element
|
Substances that cannot be changed chemically |
I will be an element in this relationship, unchangeable. ex, phosphate |
|
Ion |
An atom that has changed its charge by gaining or losing an electron |
An ion can either win or lose. ex, Oxygen with hydrogen |
|
Isotope |
Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons |
Me and my best friend are like isotopes. ex, Carbon |
|
Ionic bond |
A bond between to atoms with opposite charges |
Me and my enemy made peace, almost like a ionic bond. ex, Nitrogen and sodium |
|
Covalent bond |
A bond between two atoms which share 1+ electrons |
We share our sandwich like a covalent bond. ex, Hydrogen and carbon |
|
Polar covalent bond |
Electrons aren't shared equally in the bond |
Don't hog the pizza like a polar covalent bond. ex, ice |
|
Law of Conservation of matter |
The law that states matter cannot be created or destroyed through chemical reactions |
Based on the Law of Conservation of Matter that car that just blew to bits is still here. ex, synthesis reaction |
|
Activation energy |
The energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur |
That atom is going to need some activation energy before it does anything. ex, boiling water |
|
Hydrogen bond |
A weak bond between a slight negative hydrogen of a molecule with a positive atom of another |
I have a bond between some people like a hydrogen bond, I think it needs to be stronger. |
|
pH scale |
A scale measure H+ and OH- from 1-14 |
I go from 0-14 just like the pH scale. ex, acid and base |
|
Acid |
More H+ than OH- less then 7 on the pH scale |
The H+ is very high in this it must be a acid. ex, vinegar |
|
Base |
More OH- than H+ more than 7 on the pH scale. |
The OH- is very high in this it must be a base. ex, water |
|
Organic compounds |
All living things contain H, C, O and usually N, S, or P |
Everywhere outside I see organic compounds. ex, you |
|
Macromolecules |
Large complex molecules |
This puzzle is much like a macromolecule. ex, carbs |
|
Carbohydrates |
Contains h and o in the same ratio as water 2:1 |
I have so much carbohydrates in my diet. ex, pasta |
|
Lipids |
Fats and oils that are macromolecules and have the function of storing carbon and energy and also building structure for the cells membrane |
If I keep eating lipids I will get fat. ex, cholesterol |
|
Proteins |
Structural components of cells as well as messengers |
I am eating this steak full of proteins. ex, meat |
|
Nucleic acids |
These dictate amino acid process and are responsible for genetic info in chromosomes |
I am going to act as the nucleic acid in this group. ex, DNA |
|
Monosaccharides |
sing sugars ranging from 3-7 carbon |
I would like only one spoon of monosaccharides. ex, fructose |
|
Fatty acids and glycerol |
Makes up the simple fats that are common in our body and diets |
I can feel the fatty acids flowing through my veins. ex, margarine |
|
Amino acids |
Linking building blocks of proteins that are small molecules containing O, C, H, N and 2 contain S |
The amino acids in my body keep me alive. ex, protein |
|
Nucleotides |
Simple units that make up nucleic acids in long chains |
Without some of those nucleotides you'd look a lot different. ex, nucleic acid |
|
Disaccharides |
Double sugar |
I would like two servings of disaccharides. ex, lactose |
|
Polysaccharides |
Complex carbs that have multiple glucose molecules |
This meal is very complex it is filled with polysaccharides. ex, glycogen |
|
Polypeptide |
Long chain of amino acid |
The polypeptides within this steak are very flavorful. ex, protein |
|
Peptide bond |
Covalent bonds between amino acids |
The peptide bond was great in that piece of meat. ex, amino acids |
|
DNA |
nucleotides containing deoxyribose |
Your DNA is very strong keep it away from radioactivity. ex, genes |
|
Genes |
formed by DNA and are small units of genetic information passed down from parents |
The genes from your parents passed down very evenly to you. ex, offspring |
