Conclusion

Part 1

1.

Why are ions attracted to one another?

Ions are attracted to one another because of their charges.

2.

What are ions with positive charges?

Ions with positive charges are cations.

3.

What are ions with negative charges?

Ions with negative charges are anions.

4.

The breaking of ionic bonds is called?

Ionization or dissociation.

5.

What is the pH of a cell?

The pH of a cell is 6.8

6.

Why is water cohesive?

Water is cohesive because of its hydrogen bonds.

7.

What kind of bonds do carbon atoms form?

Carbon atoms form covalent bonds.

8.

Are covalent bonds weakened in an aqueous solution?

No, covalent bonds are not weakened in an aqueous solution.

9.

What is energy?

Energy is the ability to do work.

10.

What is matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

11.

What are compounds?

Compounds are chemical substances of two or more elements.

12.

What are elements?

Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down or decomposed into two or more substances.

13.

Why is an atom neutral?

An atom is neutral because the number of protons cancels the number of electrons.

14.

Is the number of protons different for each element?

No, it is unique for each element.

Part 2

1.

What determines the atomic number?

4.

What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?

Organic compounds contain carbon.

5.

Give examples of inorganic compounds in the body.

Examples of inorganic compounds in the body are oxygen, water, and acid and bases.

6.

Give examples of organic compounds in the body.

Examples of organic compounds in the body are carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins.
