Cards

Term
Change of State
Definition
-no change in bonding
-solid to liquid to gas, etc
(ice melts, liquid boils)
Term
Bond formation releases/takes energy?
Definition
Bond formation = releases energy
Term
Law of Mass Conservation
Definition
In a chemical process, mass is neither created nor destroyed
(mass of reactants = mass of products)
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
-bonds are broken & rearranged
-molecular idenity is changed
(Na+CL -> NaCl)
Term
Bond breaking releases/takes energy?
Definition
Bond breaking = takes energy
Term
Exothermic reaction
Definition
releases energy into the environment
Term
Endothermic
Definition
Reaction takes in energy from the environment
Term
Electronegativity
Definition
The ability of an atom to pull electrons from other atoms.
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
equal share of electrons
Term
Polar Covalent Bond
Definition
-unequal sharing of electrons
-when atoms that differ significantly in electronegativity share electrons
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
an electron is transferred (electric force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions)
-formed between non-metallic & metallic elements
Term
Dipole Moment
Definition
a measure of the polarity in a chemical bond or molecule, equal to the product of one charge and the distance between the charges
Term
Polar Bond/Polar molecule
Definition
a chemical bond or molecule that has a dipole
Term
For molecules w. B, Si, Ge, & C as the central atom:
Definition
-if atoms bonded to central atom are identical = non-polar
-if bonded atoms are not identical & at least one is from group 15,16, or 17 = polar molecule
Term
For neutral molecules w. N, P, As, O, S, & Se as central atom:
Definition
Polar molecules
Term
Avogadro's Constant
Definition
6.02x10^23
Term
Molar Mass
Definition
grams/mole?
Term
Positive Entropy Change
Definition
-going from a solid or liquid or gaseous product
-increase # of product molecules vs. # of reactant molecules
Term
Negative Entropy Change
Definition
-going from a liquid or gas to a solid product
-decrease in # of product molecules
Term
What accepts protons?
Definition
Base
Term
What donates protons?
Definition
Acids
Term
pH=
Definition
-log[H30+]
Term
Amphoteric Substance
Definition
substance whose ability to act as an acid is about the same as it's ability to act as a base
EX = water
Term
Neralization Reaction
Definition
the reaction between an acid & base
-strong acid + weak base
-weak acid + strong base
Term
What is the oxidation state of S in Na2SO4?
Definition
+6
Term
Allotrope
Definition
A structurally differentiated form of an element
Term
Hydrocarbon
Definition
simplest organic compound (contains only hydrogen & carbon)
Term
Configuration
Definition
specific way in which the atoms of a molecule are connected to each other
(configuration = connection)
Term
Conformation
Definition
same connectivity, but bonds have been rotated
Term
Hydrocarbon Functional Group
Definition
Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, & Butyl
Term
Monomer & Polymer
Definition
monomers join together to form a polymer
Term
Addition polymerization
Definition
-monomers have double bond
-formula mass = sum of monomers
-name often ends in -ene (indicating presence of double bond in monomer)
Term
Condensation polymerization
Definition
-monomer unit join there is a loss of a small molecule (often water)
-formula mass = less than sum of monomers
-name of polymer often gives a clue that is formed by a condensation reaction
Term
Vulcanization
Definition
disulfide cross-links, stretched w. great tendency to snap back
Term
Heteroatom Functional Groups
Definition
=combo of atoms that behave as a singl unit containing at least one atom that is not C or H
-add mass
-create polar bonds
-provide sites for intermolecular interation (hydrogen bonding & reaction)
Term
Carbohydrates
Definition
-body converts carbs into glucose
=polymers of sugars (glucose)
-main energy source
-excess is stored as glycogen
Term
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Definition
Carbohydrate metabolism denotes the various biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms.
Term
Glycemic Index
Definition
1.A system that ranks foods on a scale from 1 to 100 based on their effect on blood-sugar levels
-HI GI = break down carbs fast
-LOW GI = break down carbs & release glucose into bloodstream slowly
Term
Transfats
Definition
=fatty acids w/trans double bonds
-not recognized b normal processing mechanisms in body
-remain in bloodstream longer
-more prone to arterial deposit
Term
Fat Metabolism
Definition
a metabolic process that breaks down ingested fats into fatty acids and glycerol and then into simpler compounds that can be used by cells of the body
Term
Low-Density Lipoproteins
Definition
"bad cholesterol"
-forms plaque & gets clots
Term
High-Density Lipoproteins
Definition
"good cholesterol"
Term
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Definition
-protective of heart health
-impede VLSL sythnethis in liver
-render LDL particles larger and less sticky
-stabilize plaue formations
Term
Problem w/ Partially-Hydrogenated Oils
Definition
carbon-carbon double bonds rearrange into "trans" form
Term
Polypeptide
Definition
amino acids linked together in a chain forming a protein
Term
Restriction Enzyme
Definition
can cut both strands of DNA
Term
Genetic Engineering
Definition
-production of human proteins in bacteria
In future: treatment for cancer & diseases, trasnplants & graphs from genetically motified animals, help agriculture by shortening time to evolve improved traits, improve productivity & cut time
