Quiz
a large molecule composed of repeating structural units, or monomers, covalently bonded together in a chain-like structure
polymeer
each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, leading to variation in atomic mass
isotoop
having a tendency to to undergo chemical reactions
reactief
containing or relating to a dangerous form of energy produced by nuclear reactions
radioactief
a chemical bond where atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule
covalente binding
a type of chemical bond between two atoms involving the sharing of two pairs of electrons, resulting in a stronger and more stable connection than a single bond
dubbele binding

hydrofiel
characterized by substances or surfaces that repel water molecules, showing little or no affinity for water
hydrofoob
a chemical reaction that releases heat energy to its surroundings, typically resulting in a temperature increase
