QuestionAnswer
What 4 elements are the most important in the human body? Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Hydrogen
Name some trace elements Iron, iodin, copper, zinc
Electrons determine the chemical ___ of atoms behavior
What are valence electrons? Electrons in the outer most shell of an atom.
Elements in the same row have the same number of ____ "shells"
Elements in the same column have ______ and _____ equal amounts of valence electrons and the same reaction types
What is electronegativity? Affinity for electrons
As you go right on the Periodic table electronegativity goes ______ Up
As you go left on the Periodic table electronegativity goes _____ down
OIL RIG (Oxidation vs. Reduction) Oxidation is loss of electronsReduction is gain of electrons
List some weak bonds hydrogen bonds and ionic
Strong bonds? covalent.
When do u see hydrogen bonds? In water.
Why are covalent bonds strong? Sharing is difficult to split and it's very stable. They form molecules.
When do atoms form covalent bonds? When they have the same electronegativity or theyre the same element.
What is a positive ionic bond called? A negative bond? + cantion- antion
What are non-polar covalent bonds? Bonds where a pair of electrons are shared equally by 2 atoms.
What are polar covalent bonds? Bonds where the pairs of electrons are shared unequally and forms a "positive" and "negative" end that in turn attracts each other.
Properties of water water sticks to itself (cohesion) and to other stuff (adhesion), good solvent, lower density as a solid, high specific heat (it takes a lot to change the temp of water), high heat of vaporization.
What makes water a good solvent? Polar H20 molecules!
What is the structure of ice? Crystal lattice
Why is the fact that water has a high specific heat important? Regulates temp on earth.
If in water [H+]=[OH-] then...(pH) water is neutral
If in water [H+]>[OH-] then....(ionization) water is acidic <7
If in water [H+]<[OH-] then....(ionization) water is basic >7
Why is carbon important? All of life is built on carbon
What % of cells is water? 72%
What is organic chemistry? the study of carbon compounds.
What are hydrocarbonds Combinations of C & H
Properties of hydrocarbons non-polar, unsoluable in H20, hydrophobic, stable, little attraction btwn molecules.
What state are hydrocarbons in at room temp? gas
What are isomers? molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures (shapes). Different chem props and diff biological functions.
What is a structural isomer? different in covalent partners.
What is a prop of a geometric isomer? differ in arrangement around a double bond
What is an enantiomer isomer Molecules that are mirror images of each other.
Structural differences in isomers can create important ____ significance functional
How many electron pairs does carbon share in order to complete its valence shell? 4
name the function group-OH, alchols, names typically end in -ol, ethanol hydroxyl
name the function group-C=O, O double bonded to C. (REMEMBER KICK ASS), aldehyde and ketone Carbonyl
name the function group-COOH, c double bonded to O and single bonded to OH group, acids Carboxyl
name the function group-NH2, amines, acts as base Amino
name the function group-SH, thlols, disulfide bridges Sulfhydryl
name the function group-PO4, transfers energy between organic molecultes, Phosphate
What two functional groups are always found in amino acids. Carboxyl and amino
What are macromolecules? Large molecules
Name the four macromolecules Carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
Properties and examples of monomers building blocks, simple, repeating, glucose, amino acids, nucleotides
Props and examples of dimers two monomers, disaccharide, sucrose
Props and examples of polymers big chain of monomers, starch, proteins, DNA
What is hydrolysis Breaking water up into H+ and OH- molecules
Properties, examples, and functions of carbs C1H2O1, energy, raw materials, storage, and strctural materials. ex. sugars, starches, cellulose
What are monosacchrides simple 1 monomers sugar
Examples of monosacchrides glucose, galactose, fructose, deoxyribose (in DNA), and ribose (RNA)
Wat are disaccharides 2 monomer sugar
Examples of disacchrides sucrose, lactose (glucose + galactose), maltose (beer)(2 glucose)
What are polysaccharides large polymers
Examples of polysaccharides starch
What is dehydration synthesis? Removing water before you can form bondes.
How can some animals digest cellulose? Bacteria live in their stomachs and help with digestion
What are lipids? Fats, phospholipids, and steriods
Do lipids form polymers? why? No, because it's not a continuous chain.
Function of fats store energy (2x more than carbs), cushion organs, insulation.
Properties of saturated fats All C bonded to H. no double bonds, long straigt chain, solid at room temp.
Properties of unsaturated fats C=C double bonds, plant/fish fats, veg oils, liquid at room temp (much healthier)
Phospholipids make up cell ___ membranes
Phospholipids have hydrophilic ____ and hydrophobic ___ headstails
Steriods are also called sterols
Examples of steriods cholesterol, sex horomones
Functions of proteins structure, carrier and transport, cell communication, defense, movement, and storage
Amino acids are ___Polymers are ____ (protein) MonomersPolymers
The slight negative charge at one end of one water molecule is attracted to the slight postive charge of another water molecule what is this attraction called? a hydrogen bond
What is possible due to the high surface tension of water? A water strider can walk across the surface of a small pond.
Which bonds much be broken for water to vaporize? hydrogen bonds
Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate b/c their large ears aid in the removal of heat due to the high heat of vaporization of water
Why does ice float in liquid water? hydrogen bonds stabilize and keep the molecules of ice farther apart then the water molecules of liquid water.
Based on your knowledge of water molecules the solute molecule is most likely positively charged
Hydrophobic substances such as veggie oils are nonpolar substances that repel water molecules
When two atoms are equally electronegative they will interact to form non polar covalent bonds
the ionic bond of sodium chloride is formed when chlorine gains an electron from sodium
A polar covalent bond can form when one of the atoms has a great affinity for electrons than the other atom of the same molecule
Based on electron configurattion which of these elements would exhibit chemical behavior most like that of oxygen sulfur
How do you find the mass number of an element Add the protons and neutrons
What does the reactivity of an atom depend on presence of unpaired electrons in the outer valence shell of the atom
