Unit 1 test and stuff pls save me or I'ma die rn ): Flashcards
Ions/Ionic Bond
An atom that has a charge
An atom that gives or receives an electron
Covalent Bonds
Sharing of electrons on the valence shell,
Cation and Anion
Cat: +
Anion: -
Compounds & Mixture
COM: Multiple elements
Mix: Physical blend of two or more substances
Atom
The building blocks that make up elements
Water Bonding
water molecule is a Polar, (covalent bond). It has an eletronegative oxygen that keeps the electrons closer to it. Which gives oxygen a slightly negative charge and hydrogen has slightly positive charge. This creates a water molecule and they bond to other molecules through hydrogen bonds, O- to H+
Polar
Molecules have unequal sharing of electrons
Electronegativity
The tendency of a atom in a covalent bond to attract electrons
Adhesion & Cohesion
Ad: Water molecules sticking to other substances
Coh: Water Bonding to each other
Surface Tension
Cohesion allows for surface Tension because molecules on the surface are pulled in inward which acts like a thin film that resists external force
The property that allows water to resist external forces
Solvent:
Water is a solvent because of its polarity that allows it to attract and dissolve other polar substances, the different water molecules can surround and seperate ions
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic
Phobic: Non polar, scared of water
Philic: Water loving, Polar
Organic vs Inorganic molecules
Organic has carbon skeleton and is only in living things. Organic molecules are typically larger and inorganic r smaller
Macromolecules
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
Nucleic Acid
Lipids
Diverse molecules that do not mix well with water. Provides energy, makes up cell membranes, acts as hormones.
They are not that big
all are hydrophobic,
Ester Link
Proteins
- Structural support that provides strength to cells
- Carry out Enzymes that speed up biochemical reactions
- Transport and store important molecules throughout the body
Made from amino acids. Have complex shapes
