Look at atomic number

24
Q

Neutrons
Charge
Found
How to tell

A
No charge 
Found in nucleus 
Atomic mass(round) - atomic number
25
Ionic bonds
Transfer electrons Charged particles Cation is positive Anion is negative
26
Covalent bonds
Shared electrons | Results in stable elements
27
Hydrophilic
Water loving
28
Carbohydrate
Monosaccharide Ex: glucose, starch C H O 1:2:1
29
Lipid
Fatty acid and glycerol C H O small amounts of O
30
Saturated fat
No double bonds | Saturated w H
31
Unsaturated fat
Double bonds | Eliminates H
32
Protein
Amino acid Hemoglobin insulin Peptide bonds CHON (maybe S)
33
Nucleic acid
Nucleotides DNA rna P & N
34
Dehydration Synthesis
Water is made | Taken out of monomers to make polymers
35
Hydrolysis
Water is added to break bonds | Breaks polymers into monomers
36
O atoms have a slightly negative charge and H atoms have a slightly positive charge making water ....
Polar
37
Cohesion
Molecules of the same kind sticking together
38
Adhesion
Molecules of 2 kinds to stick together
39
Surface tension
A measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid
40
Solvent
Dissolving agent
41
Solute
Substance that is dissolved
42
Compound that release H+ to a solution is ...

43
Compound that releases OH- to a solution is
A base
44
Acid precipitation
Fossil fuels are burned, CO2 is released into the atmosphere
45
Ocean acidification
CO2 dissolving in seawater lowers the oceans pH
