3 primary subatomic particles

A

Proton
Electon
Neutron

23
Q

1 amu

A

1.67 x 10^-27 kg

24
Nucleus
Center of the atom
25
What electron shell has most E
Valence shell
26
Covalent bond
sharing e- strong bond
27
Cation
Lost e- Positive charge
28
Anion
gain e- Negative charge
29
Hydrogen bond
Electrostatic attraction of positively charged H to negative atom Not physical bond
30
Var der Waals
Static cling Not physical bond
31
Compound/Molecule
Two or more elements chemically bonded together in very specific ration
32
Chemical formula
List of ingredients/elements in chemical reaction
33
John Dalton
1800's England Atomic theory Dalton = 1 amu
34
Isotopes
Heavy atom of a given element, # of neutron si increased
35
Radioactive tracers
Tag a compound with radioactive isotope Abnormal cells hog resources, so it will have higher concentration of tagged material
36
What is released due to nucleus decay
Alpha/Beta particles
37
Radiometric Dating
Determining age of fossils by use of half life
38
Half life
Amount of time need for 1/2 of the radioactive isotope to decay to a stable state
39
Majority of atom is?
empty space
40
Potential E
E relative to position
41
Why do atoms bond to others?
In attempt to fill their valence shell
42
Left of PTE
Metals, often Cation
43
Right of PTE
Gases, often anion
44
When are Ionic bonds weakest
In presence of H2O
45
Electronegativity pattern
Right/up period - increase Left/down period - decreases
46
Molecules shape significance
Dictates reactivity with other molecules/enzymes and with "docking sites" on cells membranes SHAPES ARE VERY SPECIFIC
47
Tetrahedron
4 bonds at corners/vertticies of pyramid
48
Endorphin
"Pleasure" hormones
49
Opioids
societal crisis
50
How do opioids work?
Mimic the shape of endorphins Occupy receptor sites normally used by endorphins, occupy site and linger "Nod out" - when wake up they crave the rapid joy
51
Essential elements plants vs animals
Plants use 17 of 25 Animals use 25
