Ionic Character the bigger the difference between the ENs of 2 atoms, the more likely it is to be ionic if EN is the same, it's likely a covalent bond Ka acid dissociation constant Kb Base dissociation constant Ksp solubility product constant reactant --> x product1 + y product2 Ksp = [proudct1]^x * [product 2]^y pKa =-logKa the pH at which half of the molecules of that species are deprotonated = Ka x Kb pH -log[H+] H+ = 10^-pH Keq &gt...

Mass Spectrometry (MS) used to identify the mass of molecular fragments by taking the m/z difference (technique that ionizes and fragments molecules; these ions then accelerate towards a magnet depending on their mass) Oxidation States increasing number of C-O bonds= more oxidized (oxidation state increases) increasing number of C-H bonds= more reduced (oxidation state decreases) Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reaction electrons are transferred from one atom to another (OIL R...

extinction of conditioned response occurs when a conditioned response gradually stops occurring in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus enveloped virus contains an additional phospholipid bilayer on the outside of the capsid of a virus; makes them more susceptible to changes in environment conditions Beta Minus Decay emission of a nuclear electron resulting in conversion of a neutron into a proton increasing the atomic number by 1 external validity (generalizability...

What concept refers to the amount oxygen necessary to bring the muscle back to its resting? Hint: It's equivalent to the difference b/n the amount of oxygen actually required for physical activity and the total amount of oxygen used Oxygen debt or Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) What do muscles need to contract? ATP What is the primary source of ATP in muscle fibers during vigorous, long-term exercise? Aerobic respiration - generates more molecules per metabol...
