no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers

Monoatomic elements

noble gases, Au

Avogadro's number

number of representative particles in a mole, 6.02 X 10^23

one molar solution

one mole of solute dissolved in water to make 1 liter of solution

amine group

organic compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair

quarks

particles of matter that make up protons and neutrons, less effective in heavier isotopes

Any melting or freezing points are

physical property

Which set of terms best describes a proton?(a)nega- (b)positive charge, l amu,in the nucleus;(c)uncharged,1 amu,in the nucleus

positive charge, l amu,in the nucleus

ions

positively and negatively charged atoms

cation

positively charged ion (lost electrons)

Apoenzyme

protein portion of an enzyme

biological colloids

protein- water mixtures, (ex) blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

structural proteins

proteins that form an organism's physical attributes

atomic weight

protons + neutrons, atomic weight of an element is approximately equal to the mass number of its most abundant isotope.

alpha emission

radioactive decay of a nucleus that is accompanied by emission of alpha particles, lowest penetrating power towards tissue

spectroscopic notation

shorthand representation of the principal (n) and azimuthal (l) numbers Principal number remains a number Azimuthal number is designated by a letter l=0 subshell is called s; Group 1-2 plus helium, 1s^1-7s^2 l=1 subshell is called p; Group 3-8 minus helium 2p^1-7p^6 l-2 subshell is called d; middle gap 3d^1- 6d^10 l-3 subshell is called f; bottom two rows 4f^1-5f^14 s, p, d, f suk, pusy, dik, fuk example; electron in shell n=4 and subshell l=2 is said to be in the 4d subshell

Which of the following sets of elements and symbols is paired incorrectly?

silver Si

Gylcine

single H atom in side chain, small enough to fit into tight corners in a protein molecule

What fundamental force is responsible for holding together the subatomic particles of an atomic nucleus?

strong nuclear force

solutes

substances present in smaller amounts

The name of the compound SO3 is ________

sulfur trioxide

What is the place value of the 3 in the number 25.3?

tenths

mole

the SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance

What happens when the atom's outermost shell is filled to capacity?

the atom becomes stable, chemically inert which is unreactive. Examples, noble gases such as helium, and neon

chemical bonds

the attractive forces that hold atoms together

electroneutral

the carbon never loses or gains electrons instead they always share them

surface tension

the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and that tends to minimize the area of the surface. Explains why water beads up on spheres when it sits on surface structures

gram molecular weight

the mass of a substance equal to its molecular weight in grams

Thymine

the nucleotide that hydrogen bonds with the nucleotide adenine in DNA.

chemical reaction

the process by which one or more substances change to produce one or more different substances

Carbohydrates

the starches and sugars present in foods, ex. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen use little for structural purposes such as sugars that are found in the genes. When protein intake is low, the liver converts sugars into building blocks needed to produce protein

Solvent

the substance present in the larger amount

globular proteins

these are compact, generally rounded, and soluble in water, chemically active molecules.

What is the place value of the 8 in the number 2.378?

thousandths

tripeptide

three amino acids bonded together

sol-gel transformations

to change reversibly from a fluid (sol) state to a more solid (gel) state

1 cc is the unit of what quantity?

volume

universal solvent

water

hydration layers

water forms layers of molecules around large charged molecules such as proteins, shielding them from the effects of other charged substances in the vicinity and preventing them from settling out of solution; protein-water mixtures are biological colloids; blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid

buffers

weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH

silver get oxidized

when it is exposed to air or moisture.
