ch 3 & 4 Flashcards
cohesion
attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind
hydrogen bonds in water
responsible for surface tension
adhesion
clinging of one molecule to a different molecule
capillary action
upward movement of water due to cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension
when ADHESION is GREATER than COHESION
high specific heat
heat absorbed to break hydrogen bonds
heat releases to form hydrogen bonds
evaporative cooling
water has high heat of vaporization
molecules with highest KE leave as gas
importance of evaporative cooling
moderates climate
stabilizes temp in water
prevents overheating
prevents leaves from becoming too warm
density (ice)
molecules move too slowly to break bonds when cooled
heat stays under ice
organic compounds
contains carbon and hydrogen
structural isomers
have different covalent arrangements of their atoms
cis trans isomers (geometric)
have the same covalent binds but differ in spatial arrangements
enantiomers
isomers that are mirror images of each other
biomolecules vs macromolecules
biomolecules are macromolecules
not all macromolecules are biomolecules
dehydration rxn
bonds two monomers with the loss of water
hydrolysis
breaks bonds in polymer by adding water
