structural framework
atomic number
equal to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It is also equal to the number of electrons in an uncharged atom
atomic weight
the mass of an average atom of an element
Mass number
number of protons plus number of neutrons, or ,round off the atomic weight
Isotopes
atoms with the same number of protons, different number of neutrons,different mass number
group numbers indicate what
how many electrons in the outer shell
elements near the left side of the chart tend to _ electrons
give away
elements near the right of the chart tend to _ electrons
take
Ion
charged atoms, or charged particles, examples K+, Na+, Mg++,
cation
positively-charged ion
anion
negatively-charged ion
elements that tend to give away electrons, are left with a net _ charge
positive
elements that tend to take electrons, are left with a net _ charge
negative
describe ionic
an ionic bond occurs between metal and nonmetal. it involves giving away and taking electrons. it results when a cation and an anion attract each other.
describe covalent
occurs between two non metals
it involves sharing electrons
it results when neutral atoms share electrons
describe polar covalent
a polar covalent bond exist when the sharing of electrons between two nonmetal atoms is unequal
nonpolar covalent
a nonpolar covalent bond exists when two nonmetal atoms share electrons equally.
describe hydrogen bond
usually occurs between a hydrogen atom and oxygen or nitrogen. it involves unequal sharing of electrons, which leaves hydrogen with a partial + charge and the oxygen or nitrogen with a partial - charge
dexcribe Compound
a substance formed from the chemical combination of 2 or more elements
describe molecule
smallest piece of any compound or pure substance

2. round atomic weights of each atom to the nearest whole number.
3. add them together.

size of particles in solutions
very small(crystalloids)
size of particles in colloids
medium size (large molecules)
size of particles in suspensions
large (sand)
describe solution
a homogeneous(Of uniform structure or composition throughout) mixture of two or more substances
describe solute
the substance that is put into the liquid technically the substance(s) prestent in a solution in the smaller amount
solvent
the liquid technically the material present in a solution in the largest amount
a solution is said to be a dilute if
there is only a small amount of solute per unit volume of solution
concentrated solutions have what?
much more solute per unit volume of solution
a 5% soultion of glucose has how much glucose disolved into how much water to make how much volume
5 grams and 100ml (5g/100ml or 5 g/dl)
solutions contain very small what? such as ?
particles, ions and small molecules
particles small enough to form soultions are called what?
crystalloids
crystalloids do what in solutions?
remain evenly dispersed, they do not settle out.
what types of filters will crystalloids pass through?
very large pores of filter paper and through the smaller pores of a semipermeable membrane
semipermeable membrane is used for what
dialysis
suspensions include what size of particles? such as?
large particles such as sand and clay if you let stand particles will settle to the bottom
colloid include what? what type of filter will they pass though? what type will they not?
larger molecules or groups of molecules such as proteins. the particles don not settle out.they pass through a paper filter but too large to pass through a semipermiable membrane
our blood is a suspension of cells and a crystalloid solution, and a colloid why?
because it has a suspension of cells, colloid because protiens are dissolved in it, and crystalloid solution because of dissolved salts,etc.
describe protoplasm. is it a solution?
the living matter in a cell. yes
describe cytoplasm.
the cellular protoplasm bounded by the cellular and nuclear membrane, is a water solution of colloids and crystalloids. suspended in the solution are the cellular organelles such as mitochondria, lysosomes, and free ribosomes.
