Exam 1 Flashcards
cation
positively charge ion
anion
negatively charged ion
s orbital
sphere; lowest energy (1s < 2s < 3s)
p orbital
dumbbell shape, 3 orbitals px, py, pz
Pauli Exclusion principle
2 electrons per orbital, opposite spins
2nd shell
2s and 2p (8 electrons)
3rd shell
3s, 2d, 3p (18 electrons)
covalent bond
sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms
lower energy corresponds to __.
greater stability
Shorter bond length corresponds to ___.
stronger bonds
non-polar
equal sharing of electrons
polar
dipole or uneven electronegative and sharing
ionic bond
large enough electronegativity that the cation takes electrons from anion - larger than 1.7 (non-metal and metal)
resonance theory
more than one lewis structure; differ only in difference in electrons not atoms
resonance hybrid
weighted average of all resonance structure; resembles lowest energy structure
Better resonance structures
don’t have formal charges, don’t violate the octet, have more bonds, and distribute charges based on electronegativity
rules for line structures
carbon atoms are not drawn explicitly, heteroatoms are drawn, bonds to hydrogen are not drawn, zig zag structure and lone pairs aren’t shown
alkanes
only single C-H and C-C bonds
reactivity is governed by
functional groups
Amino acids (Table 1-7)
20 known side chains from protein chains
Carbohydrates
only carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen - CxH2yOy
monosacharides
same number of oxygen atoms as carbon atoms CxH2xOx - can switch between acyclic and cyclic
nucleic acid
DNA and RNA made with nucleotides
Nucleotides
- inorganic phosphate
- cyclic monosaccharide
- nitrogenous base
