Non-polar

A

Equal sharing

*Ex) pulls equally on both

17
Q

Hydrogen bond

A

The partial positive charge of one is attracted to the partial negative charge if the other.
**they are individually weak but strong together

18
Q

What are the most common elements in organisms

A
Carbon
Hydrogen 
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Phosphorus 
Sulfur
19
Q

What happens when an electron jumps from a lower shell to a higher shell and vice versa?

A

Lower > Higher
*energy is absorbed bumping electrons to a higher energy level

Higher > Lower
*energy was released pushing electrons back to lower energy level when energy was released as heat or light

20
Q

Adhesion

A

Water molecules attract to other things

21
Q

Cohesion example

A
  • *Causes surface tension allowing the twitchy bugs to skip across the surface
  • *helps pull water up to talk tree tops
22
Q

Heat capacity of water, explain

A

Water has a high specific heat which means it moderates the effects of temperature changes. This is why we are able to sit in the sun/hear for so long

23
Q

Hydrophobic

A

Water insoluble molecules

Afraid of water

24
Q

Define-Solution

A

A solvent containing one or more dissolved substances

25
Q

What is an atom?

A

The fundamental structural units of elements

28
Q

How many electrons go in the first shell?

A

Two

28
Q

An electron has a _______ charge

A

Negative

28
Q

Adhesion example

A

Gives water sticky tendency allows small thin roots to absorb water

30
Q

What is a universal solvent, explain.

A

Waters polar nature attracts it to other polar molecules allowing it to become a solution to most anything.
It is a solvent to many molecules important to life: salt, sugar, oxygen, etc

30
Q

Density of ice

A

When water forms a solid it expands

*this is unique because it becomes less dense

30
Q

Hydrophilic

A

What soluble molecule

32
Q

Pure water is _______.

A

Neutral

33
Q

Define-solvent

A

A substance that dissolves (completely surrounds and disperses)

34
Q

True or false?

An inert atom will not react with another atom.

A

True

34
Q

What are the two types or covalent bonds?

A

Polar

Non-polar
