48
first electron she'll holds how many electrons? how many do other shells hold?
2, 9
49
what happens when outer shell of an atom doesn't have the full amount of electrons?
it is unstable and will donate or steal
50
what is free radicals and what cause them?
Unstable oxygen molecules wrong # of electrons in outermost shell cause: exposure to radiation, poisonous chemicals.
51
what helps inactivate free radicals and where can we get some ?
antioxidants found in meats and grains
52
how is an ionic bond formed ? | will it dissolve in water ?
by donating/stealing electrons yes
53
how is a covalent bond formed ? will it dissolve in water?
by sharing electrons no
54
what is the major advantage of hydrogen bonding and what does it alter the shape of?
protein | 3D
55
what are the properties of acid ? what is the pH of acid ?
sour
56
what are the properties of a base ? what is the pH of a base ? what is the pH of blood ?
soapy
57
how are salts formed and give an example
acid+base, NaCl
58
list several properties of water and an example of each
solvent -dissolve in water is also involved in chemical reactions lubricant - major component of salvia, mucus, tears buoyant - can float on it. reduce stress In weight bearing joints, surrounds every cell in the body. thin fluids- reduce viscosity of body fluids. ex: walking thru water vs walking thru syrup.
