Question | Answer |
---|---|
compounds that contain ionic bonds | ionic compounds |
compounds composed of elements that are covalently bonded | covalent compounds |
List properties of ionic compounds. | brittle, high melting point, many can dissolve in water, solutions can conduct an electric current |
List properties of covalent compounds. | low melting point, many do not dissolve in water, solutions often do not conduct an electric current except for solutions of acids |
Methane is a gas at room temperature. What kind of compound is this most likely to be? | covalent |
Compare ionic and covalent compounds based on the type of particle that makes up each. | Ionic compounds are made up of ions and covalent are made up of molecules |
any compound that increases the number of hydrogen ions when dissolved in water | acid |
any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, and whose solution tastes bitter, feels slippery, and can change the color of certain compounds | base |
a measure of the hydronium ion concentration in a solution | pH |
an ionic compound formed from the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid | salt |
What ion is present in all acid solutions? | hydronium ion |
What are two ways scientists can measure pH? | using indicators or a pH meter |
What products are formed when an acid and base react? | a salt and water |
Would you expect the pH of a solution of soap to be 4 or 9? | 9 |
covalent compounds composed of carbon-based molecules | organic compounds |
organic compounds made by living things | biochemicals |
biochemicals that are composed of one or more simple sugars bonded together; they are used as a source of energy and for energy storage | carbohydrates |
biochemicals that do not dissolve in water ad have many different functions, including storing energy and making up cell membranes | lipids |
biochemicals that are composed of amino acids | proteins |
biochemicals that store information and help to build proteins and other nucleic acids | nucleic acids |
organic compounds that are composed of only carbon and hydrogen | hydrocarbons |
what are the four categories of biochemicals? | carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids |
What biochemicals are used to provide energy? | carbohydrates and lipids |
