Atoms

A

Smallest complete unit of element

18
Q

3 particles of atoms

A

Protons, neutrons, and electrons

19
Q

Nucleus

A

Protons and neutrons packed tightly to form a dense core

20
Q

Free electron

A

Electron in the outermost orbit that’s easily moved

21
Q

Molecules

A

Unstable atoms combine chemically by sharing electrons, 2 or more of the same atoms joined by chemical bonds

22
Q

Compounds

A

Created chemically uniting 2 different elements

Unique chemical and physical characteristics

23
Q

Chemical reaction

A

Occurs in the atom’s outer shell, leads to composition of the client’s needs, occurs when two or more chemicals are mixed

24
Q

Oxidation

A

Loses electron, requires oxygen

25
Q

Reduction

A

Gains electron, oxygen is released

26
Q

Ions

A

Charged atoms in a chemical reaction, attract or repel based on their charge

27
Q

Ionic bond

A

When positive and negative ions join, they’re held together

28
Q

Covalent bond

A

If there’s no trading and atoms are sharing electrons, they’re held together

29
Q

Chemical bonds

A

Forces that hold atoms together in compounds

30
Q

3 biochemical compound groups

A

Proteins
Carbs
Lipids

31
Q

Enzymes

A

Dissolve and break down larger molecules into smaller ones

32
Q

Amino acids

A

Compounds - C, O, H, N form protein chains by joining

33
Q

Peptide bond

A

Unites two amino acid groups

34
Q

Polypeptide bond

A

Thousands of amino acids to form chain

35
Q

Monomers

A

Basic building block molecules, connect to form larger and more complex compounds

36
Q

Lipids

A

C, H, O - not formed by linkage of basic molecule units
