properties of water Flashcards
what is the chemical water formula?
H2O
what part of a water molecule is positive and negative?
Hydrogen is positive oxygen is negative
Explain why water molecules are attracted to one another
The slight negative on the oxygen atoms is attracted to the slight positives of the hydrogen atoms.
name the type of intermolecular bonds that hold water molecules to each other and other polar molecules?
hydrogen bonds
What can you infer about molecules that water molecules REPEL?
they’re nonpolar
What can you infer about the relative density of a substance that sinks in a liquid?
the substance that sinks is more dense than the substance it was placed in
Why can water support objects that are more dense?
High surface tension! The strength of the hydrogen bonds at the surface can support objects when they spread out
what does pH measure
Hydrogen ions (acidity) and Hydroxide ions (basicity)
what kind of solution has a pH below 7?
acidic
what kind of solution has a pH above 7?
basic
what do acids produce
hydrogen ions (positive)
what do bases produce
hydroxide ions (negative)
what will happen to the pH of a solution if you add acid
decrease
monomer, functions, and example of carbohydrates
monosaccharide,
short term energy
glucose, starch, sugar, plant products
monomer, functions, and example of lipids
fatty acid,
long term energy storage,cellmembrane
fats, oils, steroids
