The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 The proton is a subatomic particle with an electric charge of +1 elementary charge. TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton. TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 The electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electric charge. TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 Isotopes are different types of atoms (nuclides) of the same chemical element, each having a different number of neutrons.
A molecule is defined as an electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong (covalent) chemical bonds. TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 In chemistry, pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. TERM 9

DEFINITION 10 An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.
A carbohydrate is an organic compound with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n, that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, with it in a 1:2:1 atom ratio. TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 Amino acids are molecules containing an amine group, a carboxylic acid group and a side chain that varies between different amino acids. TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 electrons are more towards one end of the molecule
