Number of
protons
is the atomic number
Atomic mass
is the mass of
protons
and
neutrons
, added.
An
isotope
is when an element has a different number of neutrons
Hydrogen atoms have one
proton
and no
neutrons.
An
element
is a product that cannot be
broken down.
Redox reactions
are chemical reactions that involve a transfer of
electrons
from one atom to another
Valence
electrons are electrons on the
outermost energy
level of the different elements
Molecule
is a group of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds.
Ions
are atoms that have gained or lost 1 or more
electrons
Ionic bonds
are bonds from elements that have gained or lost 1 or more electrons
Covalent bonds
are formed by the sharing of
electrons
between atoms in a chemical reaction.
Non-polar
covalent bonds
share
a pair of
electrons
Polar
covalent
bonds
unequally
share
a pair of
electrons
between them
Hydrogen bonds
are weak chemical associations between a partially
negative
oxygen atom and a partially
positive
hydrogen atom
A
mole
is the weight of a substance in grams that corresponds to the
atomic masses
of all the atoms
Low concentration of OH- has a
high
concentration of H+
High concentration of OH- has a
low
concentration of H+
Energy level
is the circle that an
electron
orbits on
Polymers
are
carbohydrate
,
protein
, and
nucleic acids
Monomers
make up
polymers
Polymers
are created by
dehydration.
Hydrolysis
breaks down
polymers
back into
monomers
Isomers
are
molecules
with the same molecule formula number but different formation.
Structural
have differen
t carbon
skeleton but the same num
ber
and type of atoms
Stereoisomers
have the
same
carbon skeleton, but
different
arrangements of atoms in space
Erantiometers are
mirror
images
Monosaccharides
are the
simplest
carbohydrates
Disaccharides
are linked together by
dehydration.
Polysaccharides
are long chains of
monosaccharides
linked by
dehydration
Glycosidic linkage
is a bond between two
monosaccsarides.
Proteins
are the most diverse group of biological macromolecule, chemically and physically.
The
shape
of a protein determines its
function
Proteins start as
animo acids
then become a polypeptide
A
peptide
is a bond between two
amino
acids
Amino acids
have two functional groups: an
amino
group and a
carboxyl
group.
If a polypeptide can fold into a structure with some function, it is a
protein
Primary
structure is the sequence of
amino
acids.
Secondary
structure is when the polypeptide bonds turn into hydrogen bonds between the amino acids
Tertiary structure
is when it folds and interacts with the
R
groups and then create a
3D shape.
Quaternary structure
is the formation of
multiple tertiary's
(two or more polypeptide chains) that form a complex structure
