Atomic Structure
The smallest particle into which a substance can be divided and still retain all of its chemical properties.
What is an atom?
This type of bonding involves the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms.
What are Covalent Bonds?
The chemical formula for water.
What is H2O?
What is 7?
Building block or monomer of a carbohydrate.
What is monosaccharide?
An atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons.
What is an Ion?
A group of atoms linked together by chemical bonds, ionic bonds, covalent bonds.
What are Molecules?
The force that bonds together different water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
These solutions have a pH over 7.
What are bases?
Individual monomers of DNA.
What are nucleotides?
What are protons?
This bond transfers electrons and form crystals, such as table salt.
What is an Ionic Bond?
The attraction of water molecules to one another because of the hydrogen bonding.
What is Cohesion?
These solutions have a high hydrogen ion concentration?
What are acids?
A molecule built from joined amino acids.
What is a protein?
Atoms are neutral because they have equal numbers of these.
What are protons and electrons?
Weak intermolecular attractions between nearby compounds.
What are Van der Waals forces?
The attraction between water molecules and the sides of a glass container.
What is adhesion?
A solution with equal hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentrations.
What is neutral?
Something that speeds up a reaction.
What is a catalyst?
The number of protons, which determines the type of element something is.
What is atomic number?
Elements form compounds in this kind of proportion.
What is fixed?
When forming a solution, water acts as this
What is solvent?
These chemical substances in cells minimize the changes in concentrations of H+ and OH- (pH Balance)
What are buffers?
A protein that acts as a catalyst.
