Term
proton
Definition
subatomic particle with a positive charge (can be found in the nucleus)
Term
 neutron
Definition
subatomic particle with no charge (can be found in the nucleus)
Term
electron
Definition
subatomic particle with a negative charge
Term
electrons are found:
Definition
in orbitals and at various distances from the nucleus called energy levels.
Term
the subatomic particle that determines how an atom unites with other atoms is the:
Definition
electron
Term
know how to identify an atomic number
Definition
number of protons in the nucleus is an atom's atomic number.
Term
know how to identify an atomic mass
Definition
number of protons and neutrons combined is the atom's atomic mass
Term
an atom that contains 20 protons, 21 neutrons and 20 electrons has:
Definition

"no charge" (pg 24)

If an atom is neutral there is one electron for every proton.

Term
ionic bonds
Definition
bonds that usually dissociate in water to form electrolytes
Term
covalent bonds
Definition
bonds formed when electrons are shared
Term
process of hydrolysis
Definition
uses water to turn large molecules into smaller ones
Term
Acids have
Definition
more OH- than H+ ions
Term
pH of a base
Definition
is greater than 7
Term
a solution with a pH of 4
Definition
has 100 times fewer H+ ions that a solution with a pH of 2
Term
The end product of a reaction between a strong acid and a strong base is
Definition
water and a salt
Term
an example of a monosaccharide

collagen & keratin proteins
Term
functional protein:
Definition
enzymes
Term
Know which substances are found in DNA nucleotide
Definition
phosphate unit, nitrogen base, a sugar
Term
thymine
Definition
found only in DNA
Term
the nitrogen atom has a total of 7 electrons. to have a full outer energy level it would have to:
Definition
add three electrons
