Super Vocab 1

1,2,3,4 valence. Essential to life.

• HONC

• Peptide Bond

• Hydrolysis

• Hydrogen Bond

Unlike CHNOPS, these elements are required by an organism only in minute quantities.

• Trace Elements

• water polarity

• hydration shell

• molecular weight

Neutrons, protons, electrons. Make up atoms.

• Subatomic particles

• Electronegativity

• Mass Number

• Atomic Number

The number of protons (which is unique to that element) and written as a subscript to left of element symbol. Also tells us number of electrons since P=E if atom is neutral

• Mass Number

• solvent

• Atomic Number

• molecular weight

Sum of the protons and the neutrons. An approximation of the atomic mass.

• Specific heat

• molecular weight

• Isomers

• Mass Number

Energy matter possesses because of its location or structure. Electrons have this based on distance from nucleus.

• Polar Covalent Bond

• Potential Energy

• Hydroxyl Group

• Denaturation

The attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond.

• Electronegativity

• Quaternary Structure

• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

• buffers

Where one atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom and the electrons of the bond are not shared equally.

• Specific heat

• Polar Covalent Bond

• capillary action

• hydrogen ion

The attraction of cations and anions that transfers electrons creating charged atoms  which form a bond.

• molecular weight

• Ionic Bonds

• Hydrocarbon

• Esther Linkage

When a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom.

• Amino Group

• Sulfhydryl

• Ionic Bonds

• Hydrogen Bond
