Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- A neutron has no charge.
- An electron has a negative charge.
Isotopes and Radioactivity
- When an isotope becomes unstable, it undergoes radioactive decay to become stable.
- Isotopes with different numbers of neutrons have different properties.
Chemical Bonding
- An ionic bond forms between two atoms when one atom loses an electron and the other gains it.
- A covalent bond forms when two atoms share electrons.
Biology and Energy
- The main energy source for the human body is glucose.
- ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency for cells.
- It stores energy in the form of phosphate bonds, which are broken down to release energy.
Compounds and pH Levels
- Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
- Strong acids have a pH range of 0-1.
- In acids, hydrogen ions (H+) are present.
- A molecule is characterized by a group of atoms bonded together.
Ions and Bonding
- In ionic bonding, the atom that receives an electron develops a negative charge (anion).
- The atom that loses an electron develops a positive charge (cation).
Metabolism
- Catabolism is the breakdown of molecules to release energy, while anabolism is the synthesis of molecules to store energy.
- Proteins perform a variety of functions in the body, including enzyme catalysis, transport, and structure.
Acids and Bases
- Acids have a pH level below 7, while bases have a pH level above 7.
- Ions play a crucial role in acids and bases, with hydrogen ions (H+) present in acids and hydroxide ions (OH-) present in bases.
Organic Compounds
- Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are characteristic of organic compounds, which distinguish them from inorganic compounds.
