protons,electrons,and neutrons
|
|
number of protons in nucleus
|
atomic number
|
|
atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons
|
isotopes
|
|
have an unstable nucleus that emits energy and particles
|
radioisotopes
|
|
radioactive decay transforms radioisotope into a different element called
|
transmutation
|
|
what determines whether atoms will interact
|
the number and arrangement of their electrons
|
|
carries a negative charge,repel one another,are attracted to protons in the nucleus,move in orbitals
|
electrons
|
|
orbitals can hold up to two electrons
|
electron orbitals
|
|
lowest enregy,holds 1 orbital with up to 2 electrons
|
first shell
|
|
4 orbitals hold up to 8 electrons
|
second shell
|
|
important bonds in biological molecules
|
ionic bonds,covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds
|
|
atom loses electron becomes ________ charged ion-cation
|
positively
|
|
atom gains electron becomes _________ charged ion-anion
|
negatively
|
|
one atome loses electron,becomes positively charged ion, another atom gains these electrons, becomes negatively charged on
|
ionic bonding
|
|
atoms share a pair or pairs of electrons to fill outermost shell
|
covalent bonding
|
|
atoms share electron equally, nuclei of atoms have same number of protons
|
nonpolar covalent bonds
|
|
number or protons in nuclei of pariticpating atoms is not equal
|
polar covalent bonds
|
|
molecule held together by polar covalent bonds has no net charge,however atoms of the molecule carry different charges
|
hydrogen bonding
|
|
properties of water
|
polarity, temperature-stabilizing, solvent, cohesive
|
|
water molecules can make up to 4 hydrogen bonds, orders molecules into a higher level of structural organization
|
liquid water
|
|
polar, hydrogen bond with water, example: sugar
|
hydrophilic substances
|
|
non polar, repelleby by water, example: oil
|
hydrophobic substances
|
|
Liquid water can obsorb much heat before its temperature rises
|
Temperature-Stabilizing effects
|
|
large energy input can cause individual molecules of water to break free into air
|
evaporation water
|
|
why ice floats
|
ice is less dense than water
