What’s an isotope?
Form of an element with same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Let’s say u have the isotope 14C. How may protons, neutrons, and electrons does it have?
Protons: 6
Neutrons: 14-6 = 8
electrons: same as protons; 6
What property does a reactive atom have? (Tbt high school chemistry)
An incomplete valence shell.
On the periodic table of elements, which is the most reactive group of elements?
1
Name some elements from group 1 and group 8.
1: hydrogen, lithium, sodium
8: helium, neon, argon
Valence
The bonding capacity of an atom…the # of electrons required to fill its valence shell. Hydrogen has a valence of 1.
Covalent bond
2 atoms sharing 1+ pairs of outershell electrons.
Ionic bonds:`
2 atoms transferring electrons, resulting in formation fo ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other.
Which bonds are intramolecular
Ionic And covalent
Which bonds are intermolecular
Hydrogen
What kinda protein structure do hydrogen bonds have
2* (auxiliary)
B-pleated sheets
