17
Q

Atomic number = ?

A

of protons of an element

18
Q

The # of protons plus the number of neutrons is the ______ of an element.

A

Atomic mass

19
Q

State the masses of the 3 subatomic particles.

A

Mass of proton = 1 atomic mass unit
Mass of neutron = 1 amu
Mass of electron = 0 amu

20
Q

What is an isotope?

A

An isotope of a certain element has the same # of protons but the # of neutrons varies thus mass number will differ

21
Q

What are the two models of atomic structure used?

A

Orbital model

Planetary model

22
Q

What are hydrogen bonds?

A

Formed when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive change attracts the partial negative charge of a nearby electronegative atom . Usually formed between different parts of large molecules.

23
Q

When do chemical reactions occur?

A

Chemical actions occcur when bonds between atoms are formed, broken or rearranged

24
Q

Are chemical reactions reversible?

A

Yes. Energy is just needed to start reactions `

25
Q

Explain the 2 types of energy.

A

1) Potential energy: energy stored by matter due to its position
2) Kinetic energy: energy associated with matter in motion

26
Q

Catalysts are enzymes? True or false.

A

True

27
Q

What is the fucntion of catalysts?

A

To speed up reaction rates by lower the activation energy.

28
Q

Explain a synthesis reaction.

A

2 or more substances for a larger molecule, enderginuc (energy using)

29
Q

Explain what type of reaction this is. A larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules and releases energy.

A

Decomposition reaction

30
Q

Explain an oxidation-reduction reaction.

A

Decomposition reactions which produce ATP from old molecules and electrons are transferred between atoms and molecules

31
Q

Which type of reaction involves decomposition adn synthesis? What happens to the reactants?

A

Exchange reactions.

Parts of 2 different molecules trade positions with one another

32
Q

What influences the speed of chemical reactions?

A

-increased temperature increases speed
-increase in concentration of reactants increase collision of particles
Crease in particle size increases molecule speeed
-prescience of a catalyst increases the reaction rate
