AB
ElementA substance that cannot be broken down into simpler chemical substances
AtomThe smallest particle of an element that has the characteristics of that element
NucleusThe center of an element
IsotopeAtoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
CompoundA substance composed of atoms of two or more different elements that are chemically combined,
Covalent BondWhen two atoms share e- such as H sharing with O in water what is name of the bond?,
Ionic BondAttractive force between two ions of opposite charge
MixtureA combination of substances in which the individual compoenets retain their own properties,
pHThe measure of how acidic or basic a solution is
AcidAny substance that forms hydrogen ions H+ in water
BaseAny substance that forms hydroxide ions OH- in water
IonA charged particle
Ionic BondThe chemical bond between a metal and non-metal
Covalent BondThe chemical bond between a non-metal and non-metal
Halogen GroupThe most reactive non-metals.
AlkaliThe most reactive metals
Triple BondA covalent bond in which 3 pairs of electrons are shared
Double BondA covalent bond in which 2 pairs of electrons are shared.
1+ chargeAny elements in group 1
2+ chargeAny elements in group 2
Noble GasesGroup 8 elements that are non-reactive
Valence ElectronsElectrons in the outer energy level
AcidAny substance that releases hydrogen ions when in water
BaseAny substance that releases OH- hydroxide ions when in water
Strong BaseCloser to 14 on the pH scale
AcidSour taste
BaseBitter and Slippery
moleculeThe base unit of substance such as H2O
metabolismAll the chemical reactions within an organism
solutionA mixture of 1 or more substances (solute) are distributed evenly in another substance (solvent).
polar moleculeA molecule with an uneven distribution of charge
hydrogen bondA intermolecular interaction formed between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen)
diffusionThe net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
dynamic equilibriumContinuous movement but no overall change in concentration.
IsomerCompounds that have the same simple formula but different three dimensional structures. Such as fructose and glucose
polymerA large molecule formed when many smaller molecules bond together
carbohydrateAn organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.,
lipidOrganic compounds that have a large proportion of C-H bonds and less oxygen than carbs.,
proteinA large complex polymer conposed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and usually sulfur,
amino acidThe basic building blocks of proteins
peptide bondThe covalent bond formed between the amino acids.
enzymeA protein that changes the rate of a chemical reaction
nucleic acidA complex macromolecule that stores cellular information in the form of a code.
nucleotideSubunits that make up nucleic acids
