Q

is the force of attraction that holds together ions with opposite charges

17
Q

are the forces that hold together the atoms of a molecule or a compound

A

chemical bonds

18
Q

positively charged ion

19
Q

negatively charged ion

20
Q

an ionic compound that breaks apart into positive and negative ions into solutions. Most ions in the body are dissolved in body fluids as blank.

21
Q

two or more atoms share electrons rather than gaining or losing them

A

covalent bond

22
Q

forms when a hydrogen atoms with a partial positive charge attracts the partial negative charge of neighboring electronegative atoms, most often larger oxygen or nitrogen atoms

A

hydrogen bond

23
Q

occurs when new bonds form or old bonds break between atoms

A

Chemical Reaction

24
Q

Refers to all the chemical reactions occurring in the body

25
is an atom that has a positive or negative charge because it has equal number of protons and electrons
Energy
26
is a form of petential energy that is stored in the bonds of compounds and molecules
chemical energy
27
is a substance that contains atoms of two or more different elements
activition energy
28
two principal forms
1. potential Energy 2. kinetic energy
29
energy stored by matter due to its position
Potential Energy
30
the energy associated with matter in motion
kinetic energy
31
are the chemical compounds taht speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed fo a reaction to occur.
Catalyst
32
collectively refers to all synthesis reactions that occur in your body
Anabolism
33
collectively refers to the decomposition reactions that occur in your body
Catabolism
34
the process of combination of two or more atoms, ions, or molecules to form new and larger molecules
sysnthesis reaction
35
splits up large molecules into smaller atoms, ions, or molecules
Decomposition Reaction
