Document Summary

Characteristics of living organisms: order, evolutionary adaption, regulation, reproduction, response to the environment, growth and development, energy processing. Chromosomes contain most of a cell"s genetic material in for of dna. Dna controls the development and maintenance of organisms. Isotopes: atoms with the same atomic number, but the mass number varies. *the further an electron gets from the nucleus the more potential energy it has further = higher energy level. Ionic bond: an electron is lost from one element, which makes it a cation, and an electron is gained by the other element, which makes it an anion. Polar bonds: if the electronegativity difference is greater than 0. 4, also electrons are not equally shared, tend to be hydrophilic. Non-polar bonds: equal sharing of electrons, tend to be hydrophobic. Electrons spend more time near the larger nucleus. Free radical: a molecule whose atoms have one or more unpaired electrons in their outer shells.
