2: Chemistry Flashcards
(20 cards)
Energy
Capacity to do work
Kinetic energy
Energy in action
Potential energy
Inactive energy building up
CHON
4 elements the body is primarily made up of
Proton
Positive part in an atom, make up most of weight
Neutron
Zero charge, usually equal to protons
Electron
Smallest part, negative charge
Molecule
Made up of two or more atoms (ex. O2)
Compound
2 or more different kinds of molecules (ex. H2O)
Molarity
of moles of solute per liter
Colloid Mixture
Heterogenous, dispersed (like jello)
Suspension Mixture
Mixture that settles after time (like blood)
Solvent
Part of a mixture in greater amount
Solute
Part of a mixture in smaller amount
Chemical Bonds
Energy relationships between electrons to form bonds between molecules
Valence Shell
Outermost electron shell
Octet Rule
All atoms want to have a full (8) valence shell
Ionic Bonds
Atoms lose or gain electrons and change charge
Covalent Bonds
Bonds between atoms where electrons in valence shell are shared
Hydrogen Bond
Bonds that contain a hydrogen atom, easy to break except in high quantities
