31
Q

Ionic bonding FACT

A

When atoms come together to form ionic bonds, the atoms DO NOT share valence electrons. Atoms give away or accept valence e-. This creates ions. The reason they stay together is because of the opposite charges between the cation and anion. Negative forces pull them together. Their bonds are WEAK and tend to cluster together forming crystaline structures… salt.

                        Exergonic (catabolic)
38
Q

4 Factors that influence the Rate of Chemical Reactions

* R C T C *

A

Reactants and ability to react: all elements react differently to other elements
Concentration of the reactants: greater the concentration, more likely the reacting molecules are to come into contact with one another
Temperature: greater the temp. greater the reaction
Catalysts: increase rate of chemical reaction without being changed in the reaction (enzymes)

39
Q

Synthesis Reaction
(Dehydration synthesis reaction)

ABC=A+B+C
Reactant=product

A

occurs when two or more reactants combine to form larger, more complex product
Ex: C6H12O6—> C12H22O11 + H2O
(Anabolic, endergonic reaction) STORES ENERGY

40
Q

Decomposition Reaction

Hydrolysis

A

occurs when reactants are broken down into smaller less complex products. (Digestion of food molecules)
Ex: C12H22O11 + H2O —–> C6H12O6 + C6H12O6
(catabolic, exergonic reaction) RELEASES energy

41
Q

Water universal solvent for living organisms

A

Water dissaciates different compounds and elements because of the positive and negative attractions of H20 because of the polarity of water

Q

Importance of water because it is a polar molecule

A

Water can seperate compunds
