(31 cards)
Matter
takes up space and has mass
Element
simplest type of matter
Atom
smallest particle of an element
Bulk Element
required by the body in large amounts (CHONP)
Trace Element
required by the body in small amounts
Atomic Mass
number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom of an element
Atomic Number
number of protons in an atom of an element
Ion
atom that can gain or lose electrons
Cation
a (+) charged ion, forms when loses electrons
Anion
a (-) charged ion, forms when gaining electrons
Ionic Bonds
electrons are transfered (attraction between cation and anion)
Covalent Bonds
chemical bonds that share electrons
Hydrogen Bonds
weak bond between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom
Synthesis Rxn
complex chemical structure is formed
Decomposition Rxn
bonds are broken to form chemical structure
Exchange Rxn
chemical bonds are broken and new bonds form
Reversible Rxn
products can change back to reactants and reactants can create products
Acid
the release of hydrogen ions; ph lower than 7
Base
release of hydroxyl ions; ph higher than 7
Salt
electrolytes formed by an acid and base
Alkalosis
blood ph rises to 7.5-7.8
symptoms: high breathing, high fever, excess antacids
Acidosis
blood ph drops to 7.0-7.3
symptoms: vomiting, diabetes
Organic Molecule
contains carbon and hydrogen, dissolve in water and organic liquids, macromolecules
Inorganic Molecule
does not contain Carbon and hydrogen , dissolves in water
