Atoms + Molecules
Variations of atoms with same # protons but different # neutrons
What are Isotopes?
Denoting the quality of a substance that cannot mix with water
If this is included in a compound, the compound is considered "organic"
If a polymer was a train, these subunits would be the individual sections of the train.
What are Monomers?
The Universal Solvent
What is Water?
Multiple atoms OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS connected by chemical bonds
What is a Compound?
The property where water molecules stick to each other
What is Cohesion?
What are Isomers?
The four types of macromolecules
The main carbohydrate
What is AMU/Daltons?
The two ions directly related to pH
What are Hydronium (H3O+) and Hydroxide (OH-)?
Molecules with variations in Carbon Skeleton
What are Structural Isomers?
The chemical process used to separate a compound (with water)
What is Hydrolysis?
The chemical process to combine to compounds (involves water)
Weak bonds where electrons randomly bunch up at one end of an atom
What are Van der Waals' Attractions?
Substances that mitigate possible pH changes
Mirrored versions of the same molecule
What are Enantiomers?
This macromolecule type includes steroids and triglycerides
What are Lipids?
The word describing high pH
What is Basic or Alkaline?
When writing an atom, the superscript number to the left of the atomic symbol.
What is Mass Number?
The property where water cools as it evaporates
What is Evaporative Cooling?

Serine Threonine Aspartic Acid Asparagine Glutamine Glutamic Acid Tyrosine
Lysine Arginine Histidine
Properties of structures that emerge with varying levels of complexity (e.g. the sum of parts does not equal the whole)
What are Emergent Properties?
