Q

compound

A

formed when 2 or more atoms from diff elements are combined by chemical bonding

20
Q

inert

A

an element that is unreactive due to a full outer shell of electrons

21
Q

ionic bond

A

formed when electrons are transferred from a metal atom to a nonmetal atom

22
Q

ion

A

charged particle that has gained or lost 1 or more electrons

23
Q

cation

A

pos charged ion

24
Q

anion

A

neg charged ion

25
covalent bond
sharing of electrons
26
nonpolar covalent bond
involves equal sharing of electrons
27
polar covalent bond
involves unequal sharing of electrons
28
hydrogen bonds
weak attractions b/w the partially positive end of one dipole and partially negative end of another dipole (surface tension of water)
29
chemical reaction
process that occurs when chemical bonds are formed, broken rearranged or electrons are transferred b/w reactants
30
reactants
what goes into the reaction
31
products
what comes out of the reaction
32
energy
the capacity to do work
33
potential energy
stored energy in a potentially usable form
34
kinetic energy
energy in motion
35
endergonic reactions
requires the input of energy from another source
36
exergonic reactions
release excess energy
37
catabolic reaction
breaks things down
38
anabolic reactions
builds up (synthesis reactions)
39
oxidation-reduction reactions
re-dox reaction - the reactant that loses the electrons is oxidized, while the reactant that gains the electrons is reduced
40
enzyme
a molecule that catalyzes a reaction. lowers the energy of activation and is NOT consumed or changed by the reaction
41
inorganic compounds
generally do not contain carbon bonded hydrogen and include water, acids, bases and salts
42
organic compounds
defined as those that do contain carbon bonded hydrogen
43
water
60-80% of the mass of the human body and has several key properties / high heat capacity, evaporative cooling, cushions and protects, lubricant, universal solvent
44
hydrophilic
water loving
45
hydrophobic
water fearing
