in hydrogen bond what are the charges of the oxygen and hydrogen molecules
oxygen is slightly negative
hydrogen is slightly positive
what are ions
electrically charged molecules
what is atomic number
number of protons
what is atomic mass
number of neutrons+protons
what is the octet rule
an atom is in its lowest energy state when it has 8 valence electrons.
what is a covalent bond
when atoms share electrons
what is a non polar covalent bond
when there is an equal sharing of electrons
what is a polar covalent bond
when there is and unequal sharing of electrons
what is an ionic bond
is a transfer of electrons

starch
what are some jobs a lipid performs
keeps birds feathers dry, stores energy in fats
examples of disaccharides
lactose=glucose+galactose
maltos=glucose+glucose
sucrose=glucose+fructose
examples of polysaccharides
