quizzam 1 Flashcards
atomic number
number of protons in the nucleus
isotopes
atom with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
chemical compounds
ionic or molecular
ion
group of atoms with an electrical charge
ionic compounds
held together by ionic bonds, negative and positive charged molecules transfer electrons
nonpolar molecule
has no charge
polar molecule
uneven charge, one side is positive and the other is negative
solute
dissolved in a molecule
solvent
dissolves a solute, results in a solution
salts
formed by ionic bonds, dissolve in water
buffer
anything that neutralizes a solution to bring pH back to 7
suspension
a mixture of molecules that will settle if not in motion
colloid
moderate sized solutes, will not scatter light, the color is not completely clear
solution
does not scatter light or settle, appears clear
emulsion
a nonpolar with a polar substance that doesn’t mix, stays settled until its forcibly mixed
monomer
molecule that bonds with others to make a polymer
phospholipid
make cell membranes, has a phosphate attached to glycerol and 2 tails
monosaccharide
simple sugar molecule, glucose
glucose
broken down into 2 pyruvates to produce ATP
disaccharide
2 sugars bound together through dehydration synthesis
polysaccharide
multiple sugars together
peptide bond
type of covalent bond, links strands of amino acids
