What is a covalent bond?

When two atoms share an electron equally to
make a bond.
What is an ionic bond?


When one atom (Na) gives another atom (Cl)
and outershell electron.
Na then becomes positive and Cl becomes
negative.
Know the atomic particles and their
charges

Protons
Positive, found in the nucleus

Neutrons
No charge, found in the nucleus

Electrons
Negative, found outside the nucleus in orbitals
True or False: Carbon atoms can be found
in inorganic compounds.


FALSE
Carbon can be branched, straight chained or
circular.
Why are enzymes important?


Enzymes are proteins that speed up internal
processes.
Without enzymes processes would take too
long to sustain life.
