22
Q

Assimilation

A

Putting things together to make substances

23
Q

T/F: movement occurs at all levels of organization

24
Q

Matter

A

Occupies space, has mass, composed of elements

25
Smallest stable subdivision of an element
Atom
26
Atomic number
Total number of protons. Cannot change within an element.
27
Same elements, different weight (varying # of nuetrons)
Isotope
28
Atomic mass
Combined number of protons and neutrons
29
Where are electrons 90% of the time?
Orbitals
30
Molecule
Two or more atoms bound together
31
Compound molecule
2 or more elements united in a definite ratio by chemical bonds
32
What causes molecule collisions?
Temperatures or catalysts (enzymes)
33
Cohesion
Attraction of SIMILAR molecules
34
Adhesion
Attraction of DISSIMILAR molecules
35
Covalent Bond
HIGHEST ENERGY bond. Most of sun’s energy is stored in this bond during photosynthesis.
36
Ionic bond
Forms when electron in outermost orbital are transferred from one atom to another
37
Formed when molecules lose or gain electrons
Ion
38
Cation
Positive
39
Anion
Negative
40
Hydrogen bond
WEAKEST bond. Formed by reaction between positively charged hydrogen atoms and negatively charged atoms.
41
Acids
Chemicals the release hydrogen when dissolved in water
42
Bases (alkaline compounds)
Compounds that release negatively charged hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water
43
PH scale range
0-14. Water is 7 (neutral)
44
PH
Represents measurement of H+ ion concentration
