Red
If electrons are transferred, this bond can form
Ionic
When a substance is dissolved in water and produces hydroxide ions, it is called a what?
A Base.
What is a molecule?
Two or more atoms bound together by covalent bonds.
Compounds composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in a ratio of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom
Carbohydrates
These molecules are used to store information in DNA
Nucleic acids
When electrons are shared, this type of bond is formed
Covalent
What is an atom?
SMallest unit of matter, can not be broken down using physical means.
Weak electrostatic attractions between molecules, such as the ones that allow Geckos to stick to surfaces
Van Der Waals forces
Molecules made of mostly Carbon and hydrogen that make up fats, oils and waxes
Lipids
This is used to measure the strength of acids
pH scale
These bonds cause water to have special properties
Hydrogen bonds
Molecules that have unequal distribution of charges
Polar Molecules
A combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its individual characteristics and properties
Mixture
A compound made of small carbon compounds called amino acids
Protein
Small compounds that are made of carbon, Nitrogen, oxygen hydrogen and sometimes sulfur- building blocks of proteins
Amino Acids
Three special properties of water due to hydrogen bonding
Adhesion , Cohesion, High Specific Heat Capacity
Water exhibits this property, forming hydrogen bonds with molecules on other surfaces
Adhesion
A substance in which another substance is dissolved
Solvent
Do metals gain or lose electrons?
Lose
Molecules made from repeating units of identical or enarly identical compounds called monomers
Polymers
When a substance is dissolved in water and produces Hydrogen ions, it is a what?
An Acid
Water molecules are attracted to each other because of hydrogen bonds, a property called
Cohesion
A substance that is dissolved in a solvent
Solute
Do nonmetals lose or gain electrons?
Gain
Small carbon compounds that serve as building blocks for larger molecules
Monomers
