Chapter 1 Flashcards
Ionic bonds
Bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Covalent Bonds
Bond forms when electrons are shared
Nonpolar colavent bonds
Bond formed when electrons are shared equally. Diatomic molecules (O2, H2)
Polar covalent bonds
bond formed when electrons are not shared equally. H20.
heat capacity
the degree to which subject changes temperature with response to addition/loss of heat
Cohesion
attraction of like substances
Adhesion
attraction of unlike substances. think velcro
Polymer
a polymer consist of repeated monomers
glycosidic linkage
links monosacharrides to make a disaccharide. Water molecule is lost during the formation of this bond
Monosaccharide
simple unit of sugars
polysaccharide
repeating monosacharide units.
examples- starch, glycogen, celluclose, chitin
lipids
triglycerides, phospholipid, steriods
triglycerids
think fats. Made up of 3 fatty acids + glycerol
Phospholipid
2 fatty acids + glycerol + phosphate
steriods
4 Carbon ring.
Ex. cholesterol, hormones (estrogen+ testosterone)
