Matter |
Anything that has mass and takes up space |
|
|
Atom |
The smallest unit of a substance that still contains properties of that substance |
|
|
Element |
A substance made of the same atoms |
|
|
Atomic number |
Number of protons, never changes |
|
|
Mass number |
Number of protons and neutrons, equals atomic mass |
|
|
Periods |
Horizontal rows on periodic table |
|

Vertical rows on periodic table |
|
|
What are the six elements that makes up 95% of the body? |
Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur (carbon) |
CHNOPS |
|
Isotopes |
Atoms of same element with different number of neutrons. |
|
|
Radioactive |
Isotopes that spontaneously decay; can be helpful or harmful |
|
|
Valence Shell |
Outermost energy shell |
|
|
Molecule |
Two or more elements bonded together |
|
|
Compound |
Molecule containing at least two elements bonded together |
|
|
Formula |
Describes a chemical bond as it occurs |
|
|
Ionic bond |
Forms when oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other (+-); hydrophilic |
|
|
Ion |
Atom that has gained it lost at least one electron. Is positive when gaining and negative when losing, always fully charged. |
|
|
Covalent Bond |
Result of electrons shared between valence shells; always partially charged. |
|
|
Polar (covalent) Bond |
Electrons are shared unequally; higher electonegativity; hydrophilic |
|
|
Nonpolar (covalent) bond |
Electrons shared equally; no charge; hydrophobic |
|
|
Hydrogen Bond |
Weak attraction between slightly positive hydrogen and slightly negative other. Can occur between same or different molecules. |
Think electronegativity. |
|
What are the properties of water? |
High heat capacity High heat of evaporation Solvent Adhesion/cohesion (surface tension) Ice less dense than water |
|
|
Solution |
Solute dissolved into solvent |
|
|
Solute |
Substance dissolved into solvent. |
|
|
Solvent |
Liquid in which solute is dissolved into. |
|
|
Hydrophilic |
Attracted to water and will form hydrogen bonds |
|
|
Hydrophobic |
Not attracted to water, will not form hydrogen bonds |
|
|
pH |
Positive hydrogen [H+] measure of hydrogen ion concentration in solution. |
|
|
H+ |
Positive hydrogen ions |
|
|
OH- |
Negative hydroxide ions |
|
|
Acids |
High H+ concentrations; dissociate and release H+ |
|
|
Bases |
Low H+ concentrations; take H+ or release OH- |
|
|
Buffer |
A chemical (or combination of them) that keep pH within normal levels. |
