Chapter 3 Flashcards
Any of several forces, especially the ionic bond, covalent bond, and metallic bond, by which atoms or ions are bound in a molecule or crystal
chemical bond
an ionic compound is a chemical compound comprising ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding
ionic compound
is made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons
covalent compound
s a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron, or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair
acid
chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution
indicator
bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, are slippery to the touch, taste astringent, change the color of indicators, react with acids
base
is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water
neutralization reaction
a value that is used to express the acidity or basicity of a system
pH
any chemical compound formed from the reaction of an acid with a base, with all or part of the hydrogen of the acid replaced by a metal
salt
is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon
organic compound
a compound of hydrogen and carbon, such as any of those that are the chief components of petroleum and natural gas
hydrocarbon
biological molecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, usually with a hydrogen
carbohydrate
is chemically defined as a substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether, and chloroform
lipid
Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues
protein
Nucleic acids are biopolymers, or large biomolecules, essential for all known forms of life. Nucleic acids, which include DNA and RNA
nucleic acid
