A

Proton
Electon
Neutron

23
Q

1 amu

A

1.67 x 10^-27 kg

24
Q

Nucleus

A

Center of the atom

25
Q

What electron shell has most E

A

Valence shell

26
Q

Covalent bond

A

sharing e-
strong bond

27
Q

Cation

A

Lost e-
Positive charge

28
Q

Anion

A

gain e-
Negative charge

29
Q

Hydrogen bond

A

Electrostatic attraction of positively charged H to negative atom
Not physical bond

30
Q

Var der Waals

A

Static cling
Not physical bond

31
Q

Compound/Molecule

A

Two or more elements chemically bonded together in very specific ration

32
Q

Chemical formula

A

List of ingredients/elements in chemical reaction

33
Q

John Dalton

A

1800’s England
Atomic theory
Dalton = 1 amu

34
Q

Isotopes

A

Heavy atom of a given element, # of neutron si increased

35
Q

Radioactive tracers

A

Tag a compound with radioactive isotope
Abnormal cells hog resources, so it will have higher concentration of tagged material

36
Q

What is released due to nucleus decay

A

Alpha/Beta particles

37
Q

Radiometric Dating

A

Determining age of fossils by use of half life

38
Q

Half life

A

Amount of time need for 1/2 of the radioactive isotope to decay to a stable state

39
Q

Majority of atom is?

A

empty space

40
Q

Potential E

A

E relative to position

41
Q

Why do atoms bond to others?

A

In attempt to fill their valence shell

42
Q

Left of PTE

A

Metals, often Cation

43
Q

Right of PTE

A

Gases, often anion

44
Q

When are Ionic bonds weakest

A

In presence of H2O

45
Q

Electronegativity pattern

A

Right/up period - increase
Left/down period - decreases

46
Q

Molecules shape significance

A

Dictates reactivity with other molecules/enzymes and with “docking sites” on cells membranes
SHAPES ARE VERY SPECIFIC

47
Q

Tetrahedron

A

4 bonds at corners/vertticies of pyramid

48
Q

Endorphin

A

“Pleasure” hormones

49
Q

Opioids

A

societal crisis

50
Q

How do opioids work?

A

Mimic the shape of endorphins
Occupy receptor sites normally used by endorphins, occupy site and linger
“Nod out” - when wake up they crave the rapid joy

51
Q

Essential elements plants vs animals

A

Plants use 17 of 25
Animals use 25
