What are isotopes
Atoms with the same number of protons (for example,
carbon with six) but a __different__ number of
__neutrons___
What is an ion
When an atom loses_ or _gains_one or more electrons,
it becomes positively or negatively charged
What is a covalent bond?
Holds together two atoms that _share_
one or more pairs of electrons
What is a nonpolar covalent bond
Atoms that share electrons equally
What is a polar covalent bond
Because atoms share the
electrons_unequally_, there is slight difference in charge
between the two poles of the bond; water is an example
What happens in a hydrogen covalent bond?
An atom or a molecule interacts
weakly with a hydrogen atom already taking part in a
polar covalent bond.
Polar substances are
Hydrophilic(water-loving)
Nonpolar substances are
hydrophobic (water-dreading)
The interior of living cells is near pH =
7
What are bases?
Substances that release ions such as
OH— (hydroxide ions) that can combine with
hydrogen ions
What is a buffer system?
Is a partnership between a weak acid
and the base that forms when it dissolves in water
Buffer molecules combine with, or release what?
H+ to prevent drastic changes in _pH__
