2-3 Chemistry Flashcards
the valence number of hydrogen
1
the valence number of oxygen
2
the valence number of nitrogen
3
the valence number of carbon
4
what is hydrogen bond
non-covalent bonds formed between an electropositive hydrogen and electronegative atom in a different molecule
what kind of molecules are hydrophobic
non polar molecule
structural isomers
same molecular formula but different connectivity between atoms
geometric isomers
single bonds make tetrahedra and can rotate; double bonds impose a flat structure and do not rotate
cis-trans isomers
cis has the larger functional groups on the same side; the trans are on the opposite sides
sugar: the simplest carbohydrates
CnH2nOn
how to make disaccharides
loss of water - dehydration to form a glycosidic linkage
how to break into monosaccharides
water attacks - hydrolysis
components of nucleotide
consists of nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, 1-3 phosphates groups
what are the bonds in DNA
sugar-phosphate covalent backbones and hydrogen bonding base pairs
components of amino acids
NH2 - amino group; chiral carbon; R side chain; H; carboxyl group (OH-C=O)
