Atom Anatomy
This positively charged subatomic particle is located right in the center of the atom.
proton
In a structural drawing, a single solid line represents this many shared pairs of electrons.
What is one?
Both hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis require the addition or removal of this specific, life-sustaining molecule.
What is water (or H2O)?
Regardless of your past relationship with chemistry, having this type of positive mindset is crucial for success in our course.
What is a growth mindset?
first one to dunk gets a free 100
this subatomic particle that carries no charge at all.
What is a neutron?
This type of strong bond is found within a single molecule, like the bond holding oxygen and hydrogen together in H2O.
What is an intramolecular bond?
This reaction removes a water molecule in order to link smaller building blocks together.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Understanding how molecules behave lays the foundation for complex biological reactions later in the course, such as cellular respiration and this plant-based process.
What is photosynthesis?
What class section are you in?
109
This value tells you the total number of protons and neutrons packed into the nucleus.
What is the atomic mass?
These weaker bonds occur between entirely separate molecules, like two adjacent water molecules.
What are intermolecular bonds?
This biological process breaks a large, complex molecule into smaller pieces by adding a water molecule.
What is hydrolysis?
Later in the semester, a strong chemistry background will be required to understand metabolic activity and these types of electron-transferring reactions.
What are redox reactions?
Who is the professional staff associated with this course?
Lilly Blind
This number acts as an element's identity card, telling you exactly how many protons it has.
What is the atomic number?
You must use this specific type of line to draw an intermolecular hydrogen bond connecting two water molecules.
What is a dashed (or dotted) line?
To truly master both of these reactions, it is critical that you physically do this rather than just memorizing the definitions
What is draw them out?
When reviewing material for an exam, you should identify your most confident topic and practice doing this out loud to reinforce it.
What is teaching the concept?
What department does shaan work for?
Learning Commons
If you change the number of these negatively charged, orbiting particles, you create an ion without altering the atom's mass.
What are electrons?
In a structural drawing, two solid lines connecting two atoms indicate this type of bond, representing two shared pairs of electrons.
what is a double bond?
In the word "hydrolysis," the suffix "lysis" literally translates to this action, which perfectly explains what happens to the complex molecule.
What is breaking (or splitting)?
When drawing out chemical structures in class, you are highly encouraged to participate regardless of whether you are a professional artist or this.
What is a sloppy drawer?
What is Shaan's favorite album?
Blonde - Frank Ocean
