Emergent properties
specific properties put together (example the heart is made of smaller things)
Domain VS. animal kingdom
A domain is a larger group that includes multiple kindoms
Inductive VS. Deductive
Inductive- smaller things /deductive-making a conclusion of knowledge(taking larger things and breaking them down.
Four elements that make up 96% of the body
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
polarity
Unequal distribution of electrons that causes a positive charged end and negative charge end
Hydrogen bond
a non-covalent weak bond
Specific heat
Moderates air temperature (the amount of energy needed to make one unit of mass of a substance one degree warmer)
Heat of vaporization
amount of energy added to convert a liquid to a gas
Evaporation cooling
When air is cooled down to a comfortable temperature because of water evaporation
Why does ice float in water?
lattice arrangements allow molecules in ice to be further apart making ice less dense than water and allowing it to float.
Hydrophilic
Likes water
hydrophobic
scared of water
Which ions are acidic and a base?
Hydrogen ion(H+)=acidic /more of a hydroxide ion(HO-) =base
What is a buffer
resist changes in pH levels
