Biochem intro

The number of protons in an atom

average weight of an atom

The typical unit for measuring weight for atoms

A cloud of electrons surrounding the nucleus or another shell

The outermost shell that defines the atoms stability

The less full the valence letter, the more reactive the atom

Two or more atoms interacting

Two or more atoms bound together

Two or more atoms of different elements bound together

A chemical bond in which atoms are shared

Covalent bonds with similar electronegativity

Covalent bonds with very different electronegativity

The amount of pull an atom has

an atom that has lossed or gained electronegativity

A positively charged ion

a negatively charged ion

a bond in which one atom steals electrons from the other

Polar covelent bonds being attracted to one other from varying electronegativity

A substance that can dissolve molecules

Dissolves in water

Stays seperate from water

The tendacy for liquids to stick together

naturally found molecules

an organic compound made entirely out of carbon and hydrogen

molecules using the same atoms but different orientation
