Q

what does an atom with a hydrogen bond do with another atom

A

a hydrogen bond is a temporary bond used to break and form easily. it switches between different atoms/elements

compound

A

2 or more different elements

24
Q

what is the interactions of atoms of molecules compounds to form new chemical compounds

A

chemical reaction

25
what is the definition of a catalyst
they speed up chemical reaction
26
enzymes
proteins that serve as catalysts
27
name an example of a enzyme
lipids, carbohydrates, proteins

energy
35
mixture is
combination of two or more substances that can be seperated by an ordinary physical mean
36
suspension
particles that are too large in solution that tend to settle to bottom
37
colloidal suspension
particles remain suspended in in liquid even when shaken
38
solution
2 parts that remain evenly distributed
39
aqueous solution is what based
water-based
40
tinctures solution is what based
alcohol-based
41
precipitates
solids that are formed and fall out of a solution during chemical reactions
42
if a precipitate is made in a solution can you still give that medicine? why or why not?
no, because it could clog their IV for example or worse, hurt your patient
