Kinetic Energy
How many different kinds of elements in the human body?/ What are the 4 most common?
20/ Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen
Two of more combined atoms of the same element
Molecule
Two or more combined atoms of different elements
Molecule/compound
Attractions between two or more atoms
Chemical Bonds
Atoms are composed of ___
Subatomic Particles
Positive Charged Subatomic Particles
Protons
Negative Charged Subatomic Particles
Electrons
Subatomic Particles with no charge
Neutrons
Outermost shell of an atom
Valence Shell
How many electrons in a stable valence shell?
8
not a physical bond, but an energy relationship
Bond
A type of bond formed when valence shell electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The strongest bond.
Ionic bond
Type of bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons
Covalent bond
The bond that is between the electropositive H of one molecule and the electro negative O/N of another. Weak bond Ex. Water bonds
Hydrogen bond
Larger molecules are constructed from smaller ones. Reaction requires energy
Anabolic reaction
Larger molecules are broken down, Energy is released
Catabolic reaction
Removing a molecule of water to join two smaller molecules.
Dehydration synthesis (anabolic)
A molecule of water is inserted into a polymer, which is split into two smaller molecules
Hydrolysis (Catabolic)
What speeds up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy?
Enzymes
