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
