Atoms that have 8 electrons in their outer shell are "inert." These would most likely be the noble gases. Like: Helium, Neon, Argon, etc.

Do carbohydrates essentially act as ketones or aldehydes n their reactions?
No, their 'OH' groups are usually involved in chemical reactions.
What type of atoms that the functional groups attached to and take part in chemical reactions?
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
Most chemical reactions can be divided into five main groups?
True, the five groups are combustion, synthesis, decompostion, single displacement, and double discplacement.
The______ Elements are those elements within the first two families, Groups I and II including the last______ families or groups (on the right) of the Periodic Table. These are the______ which easily take part in chemical reactions?

What is stearic hindrance in chemistry?
Stearic or steric hindrance occurs when large groups inside of molecules stop or interfere with chemical reactions.

What is substitute reaction?
A substitution reaction is when a functional group in a particular chemical compound that is replaced by another group. Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements, which can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.
What in a molecule influences the way that a molecule reacts.?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.

What is ATP and why is it cosidered a form of energy currency for a cell?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a nucleotide adenosine bound to three phosphate groups. It's a molecule that stores chemical energy in its phosphate groups, and transfers one or sometimes even two (if there is a higher energy demand) of these groups to other molecules in chemical reactions that demand energy. ATP is important in reactions that involve chemical work, such as powering chemical reactions that probably wouldn't happen otherwise in a normal biological system or changing the configuration of molecules such as transporter proteins or enzymes so that they can do work. ATP is regenerated in the mitochondria, where phosphate groups are added to adenosine diphosphate or adenosine monophosphate molecules.
What are organic catalysts that increase the rates of chemical reactions within the cells?
Enzymes are general catalysts in the cell. They catalyse almost all reactions. They are proteins, some with other groups or ions attached.
Do enzyme speed up chemical reactions?
by acting as organic catalysts
What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Do elements in a group have different charges?
All the elements in the periodic table of elements are electrically neutral; they do not have charges as elements, although they have the potential to engage in chemical reactions that will turn them into charged ions, in most cases. The different groups tell you what kinds of chemical reactions the elements are capable of, not what kind of charge they have.
