all topics deck Flashcards
epimers
sugars that differ only by the configuration around one C atom
anomeric carbon
alpha - OH points down
sphingolipids
class of lipids found frequently in biological membranes
ceramide
fatty acid joined to a sphingosine via amide linkage
sphingosine
an 18 carbon amino alcohol
rules for oxidation states
standard state = 0
electronegativities
FONClBrISCH
Aufbau principle
e- occupy the lowest energy orbitals available
hund’s rule
e- in the same subshell occupy available orbitals singly before pairing up
pauli exclusion principle
no 2 e- in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
diamagnetic
all of its e- are spin paired
paramagnetic
atom’s e- are all NOT spin paired
alpha decay
reducing the number of protons & neutrons
beta decay
each type involves the transmutation of a neutron into a proton through the action of the weak nuclear force
beta minus decay
too many neutrons -> convert into proton and electron
beta plus decay
contains too few neutrons -> converts proton into a neutron and a positron (antiparticle)
electron capture
capture an electron from the closest electron shell (n=1) use it in the conversion of a proton into a neutron
a nucleus is in an excited energy state
usually is the case after a nucleus has undergone alpha or any type of beta decay
gamma photons (gamma rays)
have neither mass nor charge
transition metals & color
Electron transitions between nondegenerate d orbitals gives transition metal complexes vivid colors.
coordinate covalent bonds
one atom donates both of the shared electrons in a bond
electron configuration of half filled subshells
electron configurations of transition metals like Cu will excite an electron from a 4s orbital into a 3d orbital to gain stability
relative strength of ionic systems
q1q2/r
metallic solids
have a sea of valence electrons, aka conduction electrons
intermolecular forces
relatively weak interactions that take place between neutral molecules
centripetal forces do ___ work
no work
projectile motion equations
x = 2(V^2)(sin)*(cos)/g
perfectly inelastic collisions
maximum possible loss of KE
conservation of total angular momentum
Li=Lf
interesting property of conductors
excess charge moves to the surface. no net charge within the body of the conductor –> no electrostatic field inside a conductor
positively charged particles naturally tend to move toward ____ potential
lower potential
negatively charged particles naturally tend to move toward ____ potential
higher potential
an electron moving through a potential difference of 1V experiences a KE change of
1.6x10^-19 J = 1 eV
(True/False) If the electric potential at a point is 0. That electric field at that same point is nonzero.
True.
(True/False) The electric field at a point is zero. The electric potential at the same point is nonzero.
True.
going back to series combination bring ____
bring I
going back to parallel combination bring ____
bring V
magnetic forces can cause particles to ___.
magnetic forces do NO work –> KE is constant –> they cannot affect the speed of a particle
magnetic fields are created by ____ and act on ___
magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles and can only act on moving charged particles
RH rule for magnetic force
thumb = velocity
if the velocity of charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field (i.e. angle between v and B is 90) then the subsequent motion of the particle is
Uniform ciruclar motion
finding the direction of magnetic field loops (RH rule for current carrying wires)
thumb = direction of I (the current)
ferromagnetic
certain metals form permanent magnets
permanent bar magnets have magnetic fields bc of
the e-
special property of oscillating system that undergoes SHM versus non-ideal oscillating system
frequency (f) and period (T) do NOT depend on amplitude.
galvanometer
sensitively measures current using the interaction between currents and magnetic fields
the internal resistance of an ammeter is as ____ as possible
the internal resistance of an ammeter is as small as possible
the internal resistance of a voltmeter is as ____ as possible
the internal resistance of a voltmeter is as large as possible
for a given capacitor, capacitance is ____
for a given capacitor, capacitance is constant

same voltage
capacitors in series have the same _____
same charge
The time required for a particle to make one revolution in a uniform magnetic field
does NOT depend on r or v.
