atom
an element, like a bohr model
isotope
when the number of protons differ from the number of neutrons
ion
an atom that has gained or lost electrons - when the number of electrons differ from the number of protons
molecules
two or more atoms linked by a chemical bond
ionic bond
weak attraction between anion and a cation, is easily dissolved in water
covalent bond
sharing electrons between atoms
nonpolar covalent
two atoms share electrons equally. the strongest bond
polar covalent
two atoms share electrons but not equally
hydrogen bond
molecules attract because of partial charges. weak bond
mixture
substances that are physically mixed but not chemically
structure of water
atoms are joined by polar covalent bonds (H&O bonded by PC bonds), the molecule is v-shaped, the molecule as a whole is polar
solvency
the ability to dissolve other chemicals. if a substance can be dissolved in water, it’s hydrophilic. if not, its hydrophobic
minerals
inorganic, present in bone and teeth, cofactors, has electrolytes
cation
electron is lost, so paw-sitive
anion
electron is gained, so negative
adhesion
attraction of water molecules to to other molecules
cohesion
water bound to water molecules
solution
solute+solvent
colloid
larger particles, but stay mixed in the solvent
suspension
larger particles settle out with time
emulsion
two liquids that don’t mix
acid
proton donor
base
proton acceptor
measure of pH
logarithmic, the more hydrogen ion the more acidic
