1.7 X 10(-24) grams
Dalton: mass
1 Dalton, or 1.7 X 10(-24) grams
Proton: mass
1 Dalton, or 1.7 X 10(-24) grams
Neutron: mass
.0005 Daltons
Electron: mass
The number of protons in the atom.
Atomic number: definition
The number of protons plus neutrons in the atom.
Mass number: definition
Atoms that vary in their number of neutrons.
Isotopes: definition
The average of the mass numbers for a sample of
isotopes for some element.
Atomic weight: definition
The most common isotope of carbon has 6 protons,
6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. For carbon, what is 6?
The atomic number.
The most common isotope of carbon has 6 protons,
6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. For carbon, what is 12?
The most common mass number.
The most common isotope of carbon has 6 protons,
6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. For carbon, what is 12.01115?
The atomic weight.
An atom that has lost or gained electrons and
become electrically charged.
Ion: definition
The transfer of electrons.
Ionic bond: characterized by
NaCl (table salt)
Ionic bond: example
Ionic bonds are held together by the attraction
of true, opposite charges.
Ionic bond: held together
The sharing of electrons.
Covalent bond: characterized by
The bonds within a single molecule of water.
Covalent bond: example
The bond between two different water molecules.
Hydrogen bond: example
Hydrogen bonds are held together by the
attraction of slight, opposite charges.
Hydrogen bond: held together
Water is slow to change temperature because of the
hydrogen bonds.
Three properties of water: 1st property
Water has very good cohesion because of the
hydrogen bonds.
Three properties of water: 2nd property
Water is a very good solvent because it is a
polar molecule.
Three properties of water: 3rd property
A substance that gives off hydrogen ions (H+)
in water.
Example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Acid: definition, example
A base either accepts hydrogen ions (H+) or gives
off hydroxide ions (OH-). Example of a base that
directly accepts hydrogen ions (H+): ammonia (NH3).
Example of a base that gives off hydroxide ions:
calcium hydroxide (CaOH2)
Base: definition, 2 examples
The pH scale measures the hydrogen ion
concentration of a substance.
pH scale: measures
If a substance has a hydrogen ion concentration of .0001,
we can rewrite that number as 10(-4) and the pH is 4.
pH: calculate
pH 1: strong acid pH 6: weak acid pH 7: neutral
pH 8: weak base pH: 13: strong base
pH scale: examples
A phospholipid bilayer with proteins in it.
Plasma membrane: describe the overall structure
Glycoproteins are critical in transplants.
Plasma membrane diagram: Glycoproteins
Receptor proteins may be bound to by a
molecule of insulin.
Plasma membrane diagram: Receptor proteins
Channel proteins are critical in nerve impulse transmission.
Plasma membrane diagram: Channel proteins
Carrier proteins change shape to transport glucose
into a cell.
Plasma membrane: Carrier proteins
Aquaporins are a gate that only allows
water molecules to pass through.
