18
Q

pairs of electrons that are shared between pairs of atoms

A

covalent bonds

19
Q

an asymmetric distribution of charge or dipole

20
Q

This is what you call molecules that consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen of atoms

21
Q

a negatively charged ion

22
Q

a positively charged ion

23
Q

a different arrangement of electrons within an atom can produce a highly reactive species

A

free radical

24
this is an Acetic acid
vinegar
25
does not depend on shared electrons but rather on attractive forces between atoms
non covalent bonds
26
an attraction between fully charged components
Ionic bond
27
Positively charged nucleus of the hydrogen atom, Can approach near enough to an unshared pair of outer electrons of a second electronegative atom to form an attractive interaction
Hydrogen Bonds
28
A water loving
Hydrophilic
29
This fears water
hydrophobic
30
association of non polar molecules
hydrophobic interaction
31
This is a default bond also an attraction and repulsions between atoms, molecules, and surfaces, as well as other intermolecular force
Van der Waals forces
32
What you get when you put water and hydrogen ions together, forming h3O+
hydronium
33
compounds produced by living organisms
Biomolecules
34
The life-supporting properties of water
1. Water is a highly asymmetric molecule with the O atom at one end and the two H atoms (H2O) 2. Each of the two covalent bonds in the molecule is highly polarized 3. All three atoms in a water molecule are adept at forming hydrogen bonds
35
Phases of mitosis
PROPHASE METAPHASE ANAPHASE TELOPHASE (PMAT)
36
Classification of biological molecules
Macromolecules The building blocks of macromolecules Metabolic Intermediates Molecules of miscellaneous function
