A chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
The most electronegative element on the periodic table.
What is fluorine?
A substance that increases the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in a solution.
What is an acid?
Molecules made up of Hydrogen and Carbon.
What is a hydrocarbon?
A functional group that contains an oxygen and hydrogen represented as -OH.
What is a Hydroxyl group?
A chemical bond in which atoms transfer electrons.
What is an ionic bond?
Electrons are shared equally and there is no partial charge between atoms.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
A substance that decreases the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in a solution.
What is a base?
Known as the backbone of all biomolecules.
What is carbon?
This functional group contains aldehydes and ketones.
What is the carbonyl group?
A weak chemical bond between a positive hydrogen atom and a negative Oxygen, Fluorine or Nitrogen atom.
What is a hydrogen bond?
Electrons are shared unequally and there is a partial charge between atoms.
What is a polar covalent bond?
A measure of the acidity of a solution ranging in value from 0 to 14.
What is the pH scale?
Carbon backbones in biomolecules have these structures that have different chemical properties.
What is a functional group?
This functional group occasionally gives off an H+ ion and is called an acid.
What is a carboxyl group?
The making and breaking of chemical bonds that lead to changes in the composition of matter.
What is a chemical reaction?
Electrons are transferred between atoms resulting in a full charge.
What is an ionic bond?
It has a range from 0-6 on the pH scale.
What is an acid?
A functional group that is made up of nonpolar covalent bonds.
What is a hydrophobic functional group?
This functional group is basic because it is known to be an acceptor of H+ ions.
What is an amino group?
The most amount of covalent bonds a hydrogen atom can make.
What is one bond?
The electronegativity of Oxygen is 3.4 and Carbon is 2.5 which forms a bond called
What is a polar covalent bond?
It has a range from 8-14 on the pH scale.
What is a base?
A functional group made up of polar covalent bonds that contain full or partial charges.
What is a hydrophilic functional group?
The only nonpolar functional group among the functional groups.
What is the methyl group?
