"Chem" Quiz Flashcards
Positive charge, located in nucleus, 1 amu
Proton
Neutral charge, located in nucleus, 1 amu
Neutron
Negative charge, located in electron cloud, 0 amu
Electron
What is Atomic Number?
number of protons, never changes
What is Atomic MASS Number?
protons and neutrons, it identifies isotopes
What is an Isotope?
atom of element with different number of neutrons
What is an Ion?
atom that’s lost/gained electrons
Cation
loses e-, becomes POSITIVE
Anion
gains e-, becomes NEGATIVE
What is a chemical bond?
when atoms gain/lose/share e-
Shares e- (non-metals)
Covalent bond
transfers e- (metals + non-metals), electrically neutral
Ionic bond
How many valent e- does a stable atom have?
8
Polar
unequal sharing of e-, charge
Nonpolar
equal sharing of e-, no charge
A+B -> AB
Synthesis/Combination
AB -> A+B
Decomposition
A+BC -> B+AC
Single Replacement
AB+CD -> AD+CB
Double Replacement
Hydrocarbon+O2 -> CO2+H2O
Combustion
release H+, H3O+
Acids
release OH+
Base
release ions in water
Acids/Bases
High H+ Low OH-
Acidic Solution
Low H+ High OH-
Basic Solution
H+ = OH-
Neutral Solution

Organic
compounds that do not contain both carbon an hydrogen in chains
Inorganic
sugars and starches
Carbohydrates

Monosaccharide
2 monosaccharides bonded together
Disaccharide
complex carbohydrates “fiber”
Polysaccharides
long term energy storage, phospholipids, insoluble in water
Lipids
steroids, hormones, cell membranes

with a few exceptions, they are PROTEINS
Enzymes
substance that speeds up a chemical reaction (essential for life)
Catalyst
reaction site, biological material affected by enzyme
Substrate
where enzyme binds to substrate + reaction occurs
Active Site
