Chemical Formula And Some Organic And Inorganic Compounds Flashcards
Indicates the number of atom present in a molecule. Example H2O, NH3 and CH4.
Molecular Formula
Shows the lines for the bond connecting one atom with another atom.
Structural formula
There are 3 kinds of chemical bonding:
- Electrovalence or ionic bond
- Covalence or covalent bond
- Hydrogen bond
Involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another so the atom either loses or gains electrons.
Electrovalence or Ionic bonds
Bonding where non-metal and metal transfer electron.
Ionic bond
Sharing of electrons ( non-metal + non-metal)
Covalent bond
Is extremely important in biological systems. It forms only between a few small electronegative atoms like oxygen, flourine, and nitrogen (FON)
Hydrogen bond
5 most common inorganic molecules found in an organisms body:
- Water
- Oxygen
- Carbon dioxide
- Minerals
- Organic salts
Water makes up from____ percent of the protoplasm
60-90%
_____ is the universal solvent because it can dissolve inorganic compounds and many organic compounds better than any other substances. It can also retain heat well.
Water
Are present as gases in the respiratory organs of the organism and in the tissue fluids such as the blood and lymph.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
_____ and ____ are present in skeletons.
Minerals and organic salts
What are the 4 important organic compounds in the organism ‘s body:
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Lipids
- Nucleic Acid
Simplest and the most abundant organic compounds.
Carbohydrates
They are composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Carbohydrates
______ are the primary products of photosynthesis is green plants.
Carbohydrates
They provide food for the animals and are sources of energy for the activities of the cell.
Carbohydrates
3 classes of carbohydrates:
Sugars, starches, and cellulose
3 kinds of sugars:
- Monosaccharides (simple sugars)
- Disaccharides (Double Sugars)
- Polysaccharides (complex sugars)
Are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides (simple sugars)
Glucose (dextrose or blood sugars)
fructose (fruit sugar),
Galactose ( milk sugar)
Are examples of _________.
Monosaccharides (simple sugars)
Is the end product in the digestion of carbohydrates. Also known as Dextrose or Blood sugars.
