Matter |
All materials that occupy space and have mass |
|
Compound |
Molecules that are combinations of two or more different elements |
|
Molecules |
A chemical substance that results from the combination of 2 or more atoms |
|
Element |
Unique types of structures made from the 3 subatomic particles |
|
Name the element: C, H, O, N, Ca, K, Na, Cl, P |
C - carbon H - hydrogen O - oxygen N - nitrogen Ca - calcium K - potassium Na - sodium Cl - chlorine P - phosphorus |
|
Atom |
Smallest part of an element that contains protons, electrons, and neutrons |
|
Proton, electron, and neutron location/charge |
Proton - positive, nucleus Electron - negative, electron cloud Neutron - no charge, nucleus |
|
Chemical bond |
Results when 2 or more atoms share, donate, or accept electrons |
|
Ionic bond |
Attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions (anion and cation), electrons are transferred Strongest bond, NaCl |
|
Covalent bond |
When 2 atoms share electrons Stronger than hydrogen bonds, O2 or H2 |
|
Hydrogen bond |
Occurs between a hydrogen covalentely bonded to one molecule and an oxygen/nitrogen atom on the same or a different molecule Weakest bond, H2O |
|
Anion and cation |
Anion - negatively charged ion (Cl-) Cation - positively charged ion (Na+) |
|
Energy |
Power derived from utilization of physical and chemical resources |
|
Kinetic, potential, and chemical energy |
Kinetic - energy of motion Potential - energy by virtue of position relative to others Chemical - energy of chemical compounds stored in their bonds |
|
Structure of water |
Polar molecule with a slight negative charge on oxygen and positive charge on hydrogen (water molecules attracted together by polarity) |
|
Importance of water |
Life on earth began in water, water covers most of earth |
|
Properties of water |
Attraction to polar molecules High specific heat and heat of vaporization Lower density of ice High polarity Cohesion and surface tension Universal solvent |
|
Enzyme |
Biochemical catalysts Contain active site where substrate binds Can only perform one type of reaction Can be denatured by pH, salt, temp Name ends with -ase |
|
ATP |
Adenosine Triphosphate Energy currency of cells |
|
Acid and base |
Acid: donate H+ (proton), pH below 7 Base: accept H+ (proton), pH above 7 |
|
Organic compund |
Biological molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen Ex. Carbohydrates (C, H, O), lipids (C, H, O), proteins (C, H, O, N), nucleic acids (C, H, O, N, P) |
|
Inorganic compound |
Does not contain both hydrogen and carbon Ex. NaCl, CaCO3, CO2 |
|
Synthesis reaction |
Reactants bond together to produce a new molecule (A + B = AB) |
|
Decomposition reaction |
Bonds in a single reactant are broken to release 2 or more new molecules (AB = A + B) |
|
Exchange reaction |
Reactants trade portions and release products that are a combination of the 2 (AB + CD = AC + BD) |
|
Reactants and products |
Reactants - before reaction Products - after reaction |
|
Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are made up of which elements |
