Water Flashcards
It is the most important and abundant inorganic compound in all living systems
Water
The uneven sharing a balance electrons that confers a partial negative charge near the one oxygen atom in two partial positive charges near the two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule
Polarity
Composed of solvent and solute
Solution
Dissolves the solute
Solvent
Being dissolved by the solvent
Solute
Solutes that are charged or contain polar covalent bonds are
Hydrophilic
Molecules that contain mainly nonpolar covalent bonds by contrasts are
Hydrophobic
The composition reactions breaking down large nutrient molecules into smaller molecules by the addition of water molecules
Hydrolysis
When two smaller molecules join to form a larger molecule due to this reaction following the removal of water
Dehydration synthesis reaction
A large amount of heat to change from a liquid to a gas
Heat of vaporization
Is a negatively charged eye on the total react with or accept a positively charged hydrogen ions
Base
It’s a solution that has anhigher concentration of positively charged hydrogen ions the negatively charged hydroxide ions
Acid
