Lec Test 1 CH2 Flashcards
Any substance that has mass and occupies space
Define matter
solid, liquid, gas
List matter’s three forms
Proton, neutron, electron
three parts of an atom
positive charge, in nuclease, 1 amu
Proton
no charge, in nucleas, 1 amu
Neutron
negative charge, in valances, 0 amu
Electron
What happens when the number of protons changes in an atom
The type of element is changed
Anions composed of more than 1 atom
Polyatomic ions
atoms or groups of atoms with a positive or negative charge
Ion
Common cations in the body
Sodium Potassium Calcium Magnesium Hydrogen
Na+, most common extracellular cation, electrical conductivity, movement of water, transport across plasma membrane
Sodium
K+, most common intracellular cation, electrical conductivity, glycogen storage in liver and muscle, pH balance
Potassium
Ca2+, hardness of bones and teeth, muscle contraction, exocytosis, clotting, hormones
Calcium
Mg2+, produce ATP
Magnesium
H+, pH
Hydrogen
Common anions in the body
Chloride
Bicarbonate
Phosphate
Cl-, neuron responsiveness, HCl in stomach, chloride in RBCs
Chloride
HCO3-, transported in blood after conversion from CO2, buffers pH in blood
Bicarbonate
PO43-, most common intracellular anion, intracellular buffer, helps harden bone and teeth, phospholipid membranes, nucleotides, ATP, DNA, RNA
Phosphate
positively charged ion
Cation
negatively charged ions
Anion
Cations and anions bound together by ionic bonds
ionic compounds
What is formed when a cation and anion bind together
Structures formed are salts
Formula that shows number and types of atoms
Molecular formula
formula that shows number, types, and arrangements within molecule
structural formula
same number of atoms together in a different shape
isomer
Sharing of electrons between molecules
covalent bond
Inner valance shell of an atom contains 2 electrons. Remaining valances contain 8 electrons, and atoms form covalent bonds to achieve 8 electrons in outer shell
octet rule
four most common elements in the human body
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen
Example of a weak acid
carbonic acid
Example of a weak base
bicarbonic acid
Healthy pH range of blood
7.35-4.45
