Unit 1 Quiz 1

  • Compounds/Molecules
    • Combination of 2 or more atoms
    • Formed by bonds
    • H_2O
    • 2 Elements Hydrogen and Oxygen
    • 3 atoms 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen
    • 5NH_3
    • 2 Elements nitrogen and Hydrogen
    • 20 atoms 5 nitrogen and 15 hydrogens
  • Bonds
    • Ionic
    • Transfer of electrons from one element to another
    • Metal to Nonmetal
    • Metals will give electrons away.
      • Makes them positive charge = cation
    • Non-Metals will receive the electrons
      • Makes them negatively charged = anion
    • Opposites attract
    • Covalent
    • Sharing of electrons in order to fill their valence orbital
    • Nonmetals
  • Water
    • Structure
    • H_2O means there are 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen
    • The molecule is bent
    • Polarity: There is a slightly negative oxygen adn 2 slightly positive hydrogens.
    • Hydrogen bonds: The negative oxygen is attracted to the positive hydrogen.
    • Properties of water
    • Cohesion: Ability of water molecules to stick together
    • Adhesion: Ability of water to stick to toher surfaces.
      • Hydrogen bonds are formed with other things
    • Solvent: The ability of water to dissolve other polar/charged molecules
      • Non-polar oils cannot dissolve in water.
    • Density
      • Less dense at freezing
      • MOst dense at 4 Celsius
      • Floats, and can act as a insulator.
    • Specific Heat
      • High specific heat does makes it difficult to warm and cool down water.
    • pH
    • Measurements of the amount of Hudrogen ions and Hydroxide ions
    • Acid contain more Hidrogen ions
      • pH range of 1-6.9
    • Bases are alkaline and contain more Hydroxide ions
      • pH range of 7.1-14
    • Neutral equal number of ions and hydroxide ions
      • pH of 7, water
  • Organic
    • Contains carbon and hydrogen
    • Found in living things or in fossils of living things
    • Examples: Biomolecules
    • Carbohydrates
    • Lipids
    • Proteins
    • Nucleic Acids
    • Importance of Biomelecules
    • Structure
      • They are the building blocks of all cell components
    • Energy
      • We burn them to make ATP
    • Chemical functional Groups
    • Hydroxyl
      • OH
    • Carboxyl
      • COOH
    • Phosphate
      • PO_4
    • Amino
      • NH_2
