Q

Three main parts of an atom

A

Protons
Neutrons
Electrons

17
Q

Protons and neutrons pack together tightly to form a dense core or _____ at the center of the atom. Electrons move about the neuclus on orbiting paths at nearly the speed of light

18
Q

Protons

A

Positive electrical charge

Identify the atom (as, for example, hydrogen or oxygen…)

19
Q

Neutrons

A

No electrical charge - neutral charge

Determines the weight of the atom

20
Q

Electrons

A

Negative electrical charge.

Help atoms unite with other atoms to form bonds

21
Q

The atomic number indicates how many _______ are in a single atom

Which element has the simplest atomic structure?

A

Protons

Hydrogen is 1 - only 1 proton and 1 electron.

22
Q

The chemical behavior of an atom depends on the number of _______ in its outermost orbiting path or shell.

Stable vs unstable atoms

A

Electrons

Stable atoms: are not missing any electron sin their outer shell

Unstable atoms: missing electrons - these atoms seek other atoms to share electrons. When they combine they create complex units know as molecules.

23
Q

When two or more atoms are joined together by a chemical bond.

Formed when unstable atoms combine by sharing electrons

24
Q

Amino acids are chemical compounds consisting of:

They join together to create _______

A

Compounds consisting of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.

Proteins

25
Hair is a form of protein called
Keratin Hair is 97% keratin, 3% trace minerals Keratin contains 19 amino acids
26
The chain or __________ , makes each type of protein one of a kind
The order in which amino acids link together
27
The amino acids that create protein are linked together end to ende by a __________ also know as an _______ Formed when two amino acids are positioned end to end and attach to eachother
Peptide bond | End bond
28
The backbone of all protein molecules
Peptide bond
29
When thousands of amino acids are linked together lengthwise to form a chain
Polypeptide bond
30
When doing hair remember: Hair is the linking together of : Do not disturb the:
Protein groups | Peptide bonds
31
When amino acids combine to form the keratin protein of hair they take on a spiral configuration and link together by four _____ When performing chemical services it's ok to alter this bond
Side bonds Hydrogen bond Salt bond Disulfide bond Van der walls forces
32
Unlike charges attract Weak bonds that can be broken by heat or water. They give hair their shape Gives hair 35% of its strength
Hydrogen bonds
33
Unlike charges attract Help organize protein chains Account for another 35% of hair's resistance to change Not very strong bonds, can be weaker by water
Salt bonds
34
These bonds can be altered by water and re shaped using heat What will always restore the original hydrogen and salt bonds
Hydrogen and salt bonds Humidity
35
Sulfur-containing side bonds Most important bonds to hair stylists Can be chemically changed for lasting results Ex: perms and relaxers
Disulfide Bond
