25
The # of bonds an atom will form
Valence
26
refers to an atom’s tendency to fill its valence shell
Reactivity
27
Result when atoms share valence electrons
Covalent Bonds
28
Are attractions based on opposite charge
Ionic bonds
29
Bonds between ‘polar’ molecules
Hydrogen
30
Two or more atoms covalently bonded forms a
Molocule
31
Strongest type of chemical bond
Covalent
32
An atom’s pull on or attraction to electrons
Electronegativity
33
Bonds between atoms with different degrees of electronegativity
Polar covalent bonds
34
The condition of having a partial charge (separation of charge at opposite ends
Polarity
35
Attraction between polar molecules
Hydrogen bonds
36
positive charge – Fewer electrons than protons
Cations
37
negative charge – More electrons than proton
Anions
38
Attraction based on opposite (full) charges
Ionic bonds
39
Any substance that donates a H+ to an aqueous solution is an
Acid
40
A substance that removes H+ from an aqueous solution is a
Base
41
The product of the concentrations of ions is always equal to
10 TO THE -14
42
PH is
The H+
43
Lower the Ph h the higher the
Acidity
44
Nuetral Acidity is
7
45
Higher the ph
more basic
46
compounds that when added to a solution resists a change in pH
Buffer
47
Repeating units of polymers are called
monomers
48
are simple sugars – General formula is Cn(H2O) * where n equals the number of carbons – ‘a hydrate of carbon’ – May have up to 6 or 7 carbons in HC skeleton
Monosoachharides
49
Dehydration reaction yields a ------- connecting 2 monomers
glycosidic linkage
50
glucose and fructose
Sucrose
51
2 glucose monomers
Maltose
52
galactose and glucose
Lactose
53
Linkages of 100’s to 1000’s of glucoses
polysaccarides
54
types include: Starch, Glycogen, and Cellulose
Polysaccharides
55
Large macromolecules used for storage * Composed entirely glucose
Starch
56
Storage form used by animals – excess glucose is stored – found in liver and muscles
Glycogen
57
Structural component of plant cell walls – Produce 100 billion tons per year(!) – Most abundant organic material on Earth
Cellulose
58
Fats like triglycerides – Phospholipids of membrane structure – Sterols and steroids – Waxy secretions like cuticle, sebu
Lipids
59
Amino group – Carboxyl group – Alpha carbon – Variable ‘R’ component
What makes an amino acid
60
Sequence of amino acids
Primary structure
61
Hydrogen bonds form between repeating units * alpha helix * beta pleat
Secondary structure
62
Folding due to interactions of ‘R’ components
Tertiary Structure
63
Multiple peptides combine to make functional protein
Quarternary structure
64
Molecules that store hereditary information and allow organisms to pass info to next generation
Nucleic Acid
65
Nucleic acids are polymers composed of many
Nucleotides(monomers)
