electrons determine reactivity of an

20
Q

electrons are located in the ____________ floating around an atom

A

electron cloud

21
Q

electrons are organized

A

using electrons shells

22
Q

each electron shell can hold a max number of

23
Q

outermost electron shell

A

valence shell

24
Q

atoms are most happy when

A

valence shells are full

25
gaining, sharing, and losing electrons only happen in
the valence shell
26
3 major chemical bonds
ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bond
27
ionic bonds are made up of
cations (+) and anions (-)
28
two or more atoms joined together
molecule
29
two or more atoms joined together (different element)
compounds
30
all compounds are molecules, but
not all molecules are compounds
31
the electron donor loses electron(s) becomes a
cation
32
the electron acceptor gains the electron(s) becomes a
anion
33
covalent bonds
share electrons between atoms
34
two types of covalent bonds
nonpolar and polar
35
bond which is equal and balanced in electrons shared
nonpolar covalent bond
36
bond which is unequal in electrons shared
polar covalent bond
37
attraction between + and - portions of polar molecules
hydrogen bonds
38
Catabolism
decomposition reaction (chemicals break down)
39
Anabolism
synthesis reaction (forms chemical bonds)
40
example of decomposition reaction
hydrolysis
41
example of synthesis reaction
dehydration synthesis
42
a reaction with decomposition followed with synthesis
exchange reaction
43
metabolism
any reaction in the body (catabolism and anabolism)
