Chapter 2 Flashcards
Ion
Are charged particles with unequal numbers of protons and electrons
Anion
Gained an electron (negative charge)
Cation
Lost an electron (positive charged)
Covalent Bonds
Form by the sharing of electrons (strongest bond)
Hydrogen Bond
A weak attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom in one molecule & slightly negative oxygen or nitrogen atom in another. (Weakest bond)
Polar Covalent Bond
A covalent bond that shares electrons unequally (spending most its time closer to negative atom)
Non-polar Covalent Bond
Electrons are shared equally
Hydrophillic
Love water(h2O)
Hydrophobic
Hate water (lipids)
Characteristics of Water (5)
1) Good solvent
2) Cohesive
3) Adhesion
4) Chemically reactive
5) Thermal stability
Solution
Consist of solute and solvent
Solvent
The substance that some particle is mixed with (usually water)
Solute
Is the particles of matter mixed with solvent
Subatomic particles
Electron, Neutron, Protons
Sodium Chloride features
Na+ (cation) bonded to Chl- (anion) called ionic bond (salt)
pH
Is dependent on the concentration [ H+] pH range is 1-14
Our bodies like to be in range of 7, closer to 1 the more acidic it is and closer to 14 the more alkaline (base) it is.
Functional Groups (5)
1) Hydroxyl (-OH) (Sugars, Alcohols)
2) Methyl (-CH3) (Fats, Oils, Steroids, Amino Acids)
3) Carboxyl (-COOH) (Amino Acids, Sugars, Proteins)
4) Amino (-NH2) (Amino Acids, Proteins)
5) Phosphate (-H2PO4) (Nucleotides, ATP)
How are molecules are made?
Through dehydration synthesis
