chemical recation s Flashcards
electron shell is up to
7 shells
what are isotopes
nucleic with the same atomic number but different mass number, very unstable
definition of half life
the time it takes for X to loose half of his activity
as time increases a half…… reaction decrease a half as well
definition of valence
the outer electron shell, they can combine with other elements to either fill or empty their outer share- for stability
what is potential energy ?
energy that is inactive or stored
kinetic energy
energy that is in motion
chemical energy
energy store in chemical bonds
energy is released when these bonds break
electrical energy
from the movement of charge particles
electrons/ions
used in muscle and nervous tissue
what are the three chemical bonds
ionic,covalent,hydrogen
what an ion and an electrolyte
an ion is positive/neg charge particle
an electrolyte is the dissociation of an ion in solution (ionization)
what’s a cation and an anion
a cation is positively charged ion and a anion is neg charge ion
an ionic bond is form by
an electron donor and an electron acceptor (opp attract)
a covalent bond is
is a bond form by valence( sharing outer layer electrons)
polar vs non polar
polar is e- is shared unevenly, one side could be more neg (creates electronegativity )
non polar is even sharing of electrons
hydrogen bonds
weak bonds that are form when hydrogen attaches to other atoms
hydrogen bonds shapes the molecule which makes it change in function
what 2 factors affects chemical rx ?
- )temperature the higher the temp. the faster the reaction
- ) concentration- molecules need to collide in order to react
definition for exergonic is >
releases more heat than it absorbs
definition for endergonic
absorbs more heat than it releases
activation energy
energy required to initiate a chemical rx( this is faster with a catalyst(enzyme), by lowering the A.E
oxidase
add o2 catalyst
dehydratase
removes hydrogen ATP split
decomposition
large molecules are broken down into smaller units (catabolism)
synthesis
build up of larger molecules by smaller units (anabolism)
exchange
both anabolic + catabolic Rx, maintain balance
