Unit 1 CH2 Flashcards
Chemistry, Matter, Life
Ionic Bonds
Bonds where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Covalent Bonds
Bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
Ions
An atom or groups of atoms with a positive or negative charge.
* Cation- Positive
* Anion- Negative
Electrolytes
Compounds that release ions when dissolved in water.
Molecule
Two or more covalently bonded atoms.
Mixture
Blends of two or more substances.
Solution
Mixture formed when one substance dissolves in another. (Homogenous)
Suspension
Mixture in which one substance is dispersed in another but will settle out unless constantly mixed. (Heterogenous)
Colloid
Mixture in which substances never mix. (Heterogenous)
Solution Ex.
Table salt dissolved in water; table sugar dissolved in water
Suspension Ex.
Red blood cells in blood plasma; The creatine in my intra-workout.
Colloid Ex.
Blood plasma; Cytosol
pH Scale
0-14. 0 being the most acidic (most Hydrogen Ions), 14 being the most alkaline (least Hydrogen Ions).
Base pH range for blood
7.35-7.45. 0-7.34 acidic. 7.46-14 alkaline.
Organic Compounds
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids. All built on the element carbon.
