Q

Single replacement reaction

A

Involve ionic compounds; consist of a more active metal reacting with an ionic compound containing a less active metal to produce a new compound;
Ex: Cu+2AgBr -> CuBr + 2Ag

Q

Double replacement

A

Involve two ionic compounds; positive ion from one compound combines with the negative ion of the other compound;
Ex: AgBr + KCu -> AgK + BrCu

Q

Covalent Bonding

A

Formed when two atoms share electrons; strongest chemical bond; nonmetal + nonmetal

25
Electrons in the bond are shared equally=
Nonpolar
26
Polar
When the shared electron density of the bond is more concentrated around one atom more than the other
27
Polarity based on
the difference in electronegativity values of the elements involved
28
Intermolecular forces
attraction between whole molecules
29
Hydrogen bonds
attraction for a hydrogen atom by highly electronegative element (F,O,N); strongest intermolecular force
30
Dipole-Dipole
Dipole created when an electron pair is shared unequally in a covalent bond between two atoms/elements; the molecule will have a positive and negative side which attract
31
Dispersion Forces (London Forces)
Weakest intermolecular force; electrons within an element concentrate on one side which causes a temporary dipole which attract to another temporary dipole of opposite charge
32
Oxidation
loss of electron
33
Reduction
gain of electrons
34
Reducing agent
element that is oxidized
35
Oxidizing agent
element that is reduced
36
Net Charge of a molecule
sum of oxidation numbers
37
Acids
corrosive to metals, turn litmus paper red ph below 7; hydrogen or proton donors
38
Bases
Alkaline, denature proteins, slippery, turn litmus paper blue, ph above 7; hydrogen or proton acceptors; have OH group
39
Radiation
the particles/energy that are emitted from an unstable nucleus
40
Alpha radiation
emits 2 protons , 2 neutrons, +2 charge, largest emission
41
Beta radiation
Decomposition of a neutron into positron or Electron- 1 more proton 1 less neutron; Positron-1 less proton, 1 more neutron
42
Half life
amount of time it takes for half of the unstable isotope to decay; it will decay until it finds a stable nuclear cofiguration
43
Sugars starches carbs provide
energy for the body, carbs most abundant
44
Deoxyribose and ribose are used in
the formation of DNA and RNA
45
Oligo/polysaccharides
3-6 sugars
46
More than 6 sugars
starch; cellulose and glycogen
47
Glycolysis
Metabolization of glucose aerobic: 2 pyruvate, 2 atp pyruvate further metabolized by krebs cycle (oxidative phosphorylation) anaerobic (exercise): glucose->lactate
48
Gluconeogenesis
production of glucose from non-carbohydrate substances-> energy cycle or stored as glycogen
49
What gives an amino acid its identity
the R group
50
union if 2 amino acids by a
peptide bond- called a dipeptide
51
less than 30 amino acids called
polypeptide, larger are proteins
52
Amino acids in humans
20
53
Fatty acids consist of
a hydrocarbon chain with an acid group, carboxyl group COOH
54
Triglyceride
3 fatty acids joined to a glycerol
55
Phospholipids
2 fatty acids, phosphate group, glycerol; essential components of cell membrane
56
Fats are used to
protect organs, maintain body temp, keep skin/hair healthy, promote healthy cell function, energy stores
57
Nucleic acids found in
cytoplasm, mitochondria, nucleus
58
Backbone of DNA molecule composed of
deoxyribose, pentose, phosphate
59
2 sugar phosphate chains in DNA
run opposite of each other (Antiparallel)
