Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chemistry | science that deals with composition of matter |
Element | substance from wich all matter is made of |
Atom | Fundimental unit that makes up chemical elements |
Proton | Positively charged atom |
neutron | nuetral no charge atom |
electron | negatively charged atom |
neucleous | center of Atom |
atomic number | number of protons and electrons present in nuecleus or around nucleus of each of it's atoms |
orbital | circulates around atom |
energy levels | defined by distance from the nucleus |
1st energy level | closest to necleus composed of one orbital max of two electrons |
2nd energy level | farthest away can have up to four orbits possible 8 electrons |
Nonmetal | outer most energy level must have more than 4 electrons but less than eight electrons |
metal | outer most shell must have less than 4 electrons. |
Molecules | simply a combination of two or more atoms |
Molecule | can be made of like atoms |
Molecule | most often made of 2 or more different atoms |
compounds | molecules formed by union of 2 or more atoms |
simple | made of few elements |
complex | made of many elements |
water | most abundant compound in body |
mixture | blends of two or more substances |
types of mixtures | solution, suspension, colloidal |
solution | mixture remain evenly distributed, like sugar in tea |
suspension | mixture solvent settles out unless constantly shaken like salad dressing |
colloidal suspension | mixture particles do not disolve like fruit in jello |
dissolving substance | is the solvent, like water in koolaid |
solute | substance that is dissolved, like salt, sugar, koolaid |
neutralized | equal number of protons and electrons |
Ionic Bond | Opposites attract. Produce compound when cling together |
Covalent Bond | Sharing. sharing of electrons between atoms. |
acid | chemical substance capable of donating a hydrogen ION to another substance |
Base | chemical substance containg a hydrogen ION that can accept a hydrogen ION |
a reaction between an acid and a salt produces what? | Salt |
buffers | chemicals that maintain homeostasis in body |
we need these compounds to sustain life | organic compounds |
organic compounds | all chemical compounds that sustain life |
organic compounds must contain these to be classified | carbon, hydrogen, oxygen |
Large Complex molecules | consist of organic compounds |
Lrge compound molecules | formed from simple molecules called building blocks |
