Question | Answer |
---|---|
Electron Shell | a layer of electrons that encircle the nucleus at a distinct energy level |
Valence Shell | The outermost shell in any atom which contains electrons |
Valence shells are stabilized when they are closed identify how many electrons are needed in order for the first shell to closed? | 2 |
Valence shells are stabilized when they are closed identify how many electrons are needed in order for the second shell to closed? | 8 |
Valence shells are stabilized when they are closed identify how many electrons are needed in order for the third shell to closed? | 8 |
Molecule | two or more atoms covalently bonded together |
Ion | electrically charged particle with an overall negative or positive charge |
Cation | positively charged particle |
Anion | negatively charged particle |
One important fact you should know about electrical charges | Opposites attract / Sames repel |
How is an ion formed | when an atom donates an electron and another atom receives it |
ionic bond | the attraction between two oppositely charged atoms |
Covalent Bond | the attraction between two atoms resulting from sharing valence electrons which ends in the result of molecules |
Polar Covalent Bond | Covalent bond that forms as a result of unequal sharing of valence electrons |
Nonpolar Covalent Bond | Covalent bond that forms as a result of equal valence electron sharing |
Hydrogen Bonds are individually ________ and __________. | Weak, transient |
Hydrogen Bonds | attraction between hydrogen containing polar molecules (an intermolecular force) |
Chemical Reaction | Processes in which chemical bonds are broken and/or formed as starting substances is/are converted into ending substances |
Reactants | starting substnaces |
Products | ending substances |
decomposition reaction | a larger number of smaller product molecules are generated from a smaller number of larger reactant molecules |
Synthesis Reaction | a smaller number of larger product molecules are generated from a larger number of smaller reactant molecules |
Catabolic Reaction/ Catabolism | decomposition reaction |
Anabolic Reaction/ anabolism | synthesis reactions occurring in cells |
hydrolysis Reaction | decomposition reaction when cells consume Water |
dehydration Reaction | when water is removed during the synthesis reaction |
Exchange reaction | atoms or groups of atoms are swapped between molecules |
Define Reversible in terms of chemical equilibrium | a chemical reaction is said to be reversible when the products of a reaction can be converted back into the original reactants |
Chemical Equilibrium | when two reactions occur at the same rate |
Redox Reaction | energy in the form of electrons is transferred from the substance that is oxidized to the substance that is reduced |
Activation Energy | The "threshold" level of energy needed to break bonds in the reactants |
Endergonic | chemical reactions that absorb more energy than they release |
Exergonic | chemical reactions that release more energy than they absorb |
Catalyst | a substance that increase the rate of chemical reaction without itself undergoing any change |
Receptor | sensitive to change or detects the change in the variable |
Control Center | sent a chemical signal by the receptor which then in turn sends a signal to the effector organ |
Effector | affects the variable by sending a signal to alter said variable by some type of action |
Negative Feedback | involves reversing the stimulus; the response should then be the opposite of the stimulus |
Set-Point | the value about which a physiological variable in maintained homeostatically |
