Molecules & Atoms
The types of these and their associated symbols can be found on the periodic table.
What are elements?
This type of bond is found between atoms in a molecule. It is the strongest type of bond that we have learned about.
What is a covalent bond?
This is the shape of the water molecule.
What is bent?
This property of water allows a water strider insect to glide on the surface.
What is surface tension?
These are the two types of nucleic acids.
What are RNA and DNA?
These are made of atoms bonded together.
What are molecules?
This is type of bond is found between two separate water molecules.
What is a hydrogen bond?
Because the atoms in a water molecule do not share electrons equally, a water molecule is said to be this.
What is polar?
This property makes it very difficult to change the temperature of water compared to other substances.
What is high specific heat?
Fungi are part of this domain.
What is eukaryotes?
This is an atom with a negative charge.
What is an anion?
This type of molecule cannot mix with hydrophobic molecules.
What is hydrophilic?
What is a partial positive charge on hydrogen?
This causes water molecules to stick to other types of molecules.
What is adhesion?
This is the zone in a solar system where planets can be found that have the right temperature for life.
What is the Goldilocks zone?
This gives a molecule or an atom a positive charge.
What is having fewer electrons than protons?
This type of bond is found between sodium and chloride ions.
What is an ionic bond?
Water has a high amount of this, which makes it difficult for aquatic species to swim through it.
What is viscosity?
This causes water molecules to stick to other water molecules.
What is cohesion?
This organelle breaks down and recycles things that are no longer needed.
What is the lysosome?
This type of bond is found between the two strands in a DNA molecule.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is a molecule with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.
What is amphipathic?
This describes a solution that has been made by dissolving in water.
What is aqueous?
This property of water can be observed when water is sucked up a thin tube.
What is capillary action?
This discovery won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine this year.
What is the development of RNA vaccines and their use to vaccine against COVID-19?
