Answer 8

Protons and neutrons

Question 9

What is the atomic number mean?

Answer 9

The number of protons

Question 10

What is an isotope?

Answer 10

Isotopes are variants of an element that differ in the number of neutrons but have all have the same protons.

Question 11

What is an Ion and what are its two types?

Answer 11

An ion is an atom with a charge. A cation has a positive charge and a Anion has a negative charge.

Question 12

What is a covalent bond?

Answer 12

A covalent bond is when electrons are shared between two atoms

Question 13

Define polar and non-polar covalent bonds.

Answer 13

A polar covalent bond is when electronegativity is different so sharing of electrons is unequal and therefore, one side is positive and one side is negative. A non-polar covalent bond is when two atoms have similar electronegativity and have no charge.

Question 14

Covalent bonds typically occur between …

Answer 14

nometals.

Question 15

Water form a ______ bond

Answer 15

Polar covalent bond

Question 16

What is an Ionic bond?

Answer 16

An Ionic bond is when electronegativity is too different between atoms so one side steals all of the electrons and becomes a negative ion and the other side becomes a positive ion.

Question 17

Hydrogen bonds occur in

Answer 17

polar molecules

Question 18

Hydrophilic polar molecules…

Answer 18

are soluble in water because they form hydrogen bonds with water

Question 19

Hydrophobic non-polar molecules

Answer 19

are not soluble in water because they do not form hydrogen bonds with water

Question 20

Protein is an example of a ______ covalent bond

Answer 20

Polar

Question 21

Oil is an example of a ______ covalent bond

Answer 21

Non-polar

Question 22

What are the three main domains of life?

Answer 22

1. Bacteria
2. Eukarya
3. Archae

Question 23

Why is it advantageous for cells to be small?

Answer 23

The surface area of a cell increases at a different rate than the volume of the cell (SA = Vol^2
). So, cells need to be tiny in order to maximize the ratio between surface area and volume.
