Q

Do strong acids and bases dissociate in water more than weak acids and bases?

A

Yes. Strong acids and bases dsisociate completely in water where weak ones do not have as much affect.

Q

What are the classifications of lipids?

A

Triglycerides, phospholipids and steroids.

17
Q

Atomic number = ?

A

of protons of an element

18
Q

The # of protons plus the number of neutrons is the ______ of an element.

19
Q

State the masses of the 3 subatomic particles.

A

Mass of proton = 1 atomic mass unit
Mass of neutron = 1 amu
Mass of electron = 0 amu

20
Q

What is an isotope?

A

An isotope of a certain element has the same # of protons but the # of neutrons varies thus mass number will differ

21
Q

What are the two models of atomic structure used?

A

Orbital model

Planetary model

22
Q

What are hydrogen bonds?

A

Formed when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive change attracts the partial negative charge of a nearby electronegative atom . Usually formed between different parts of large molecules.

23
Q

When do chemical reactions occur?

A

Chemical actions occcur when bonds between atoms are formed, broken or rearranged

24
Q

Are chemical reactions reversible?

A

Yes. Energy is just needed to start reactions `

25
Explain the 2 types of energy.
1) Potential energy: energy stored by matter due to its position 2) Kinetic energy: energy associated with matter in motion
26
Catalysts are enzymes? True or false.
True
27
What is the fucntion of catalysts?
To speed up reaction rates by lower the activation energy.
28
Explain a synthesis reaction.
2 or more substances for a larger molecule, enderginuc (energy using)
29
Explain what type of reaction this is. A larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules and releases energy.
Decomposition reaction
30
Explain an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Decomposition reactions which produce ATP from old molecules and electrons are transferred between atoms and molecules
31
Which type of reaction involves decomposition adn synthesis? What happens to the reactants?
Exchange reactions. | Parts of 2 different molecules trade positions with one another
32
What influences the speed of chemical reactions?
-increased temperature increases speed -increase in concentration of reactants increase collision of particles Crease in particle size increases molecule speeed -prescience of a catalyst increases the reaction rate
33
What do organic compounds include?
Carbs, lipids, proteins, nuclei acids
34
What are the 3 kinds of lipids?
Triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids
35
Nuclei acids are composed of what substances?
C H O N P
36
What are the 2 types of nucleic acids?
1) Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) | 2) Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
