Elements
|
Can't be broken down by an ordinary means
|
|
Most important elements to living things
|
C,H, O, N, CA, P, Na
|
|
Compounds
|
2 or more elements together in fixed ratios
when combined the properties can change Na-explosive Cl-gas is poison |
|
Atom
|
smallest unit of an element
|
|
protons
|
positive charge found in the nucleus
|
|
neutrons
|
no charge found in nucleus
|
|
electrons
|
negative charge circles the center in orbitals
|
|
Weight
|
proton= 1 amu
neutron= 1 amu electron= 0 amu |
|
atomic number
|
the number of protons
2He helium has two protons |
|
neutral atom
|
the number of protons equals the number of electrons
|
|
Atomic Mass
|
number of protons plus the number of neutrons
|
|
Isotopes
|
atoms of an element that differ in number of neutrons
and can be radioactive (decay and emit radioactivity) |
|
deuterium
|
plus one neutron of hydrogen
|
|
tritium
|
plus two neutrons of hydrogen and radioactive
|
|
Carbon 14
|
radio active with 8 neutrons and used for carbon dating of fossils bc half-life is 5600 years
measure the ratio to determine the age of the fossil |
|
radioactivity of an atom
|
determined by the position of the electrons
the farther away from the nucleus the more energy present |
|
movement of electrons
|
shell 1- shell 2
must add energy shell2-shell1 must release energy |
|
Orbitals
|
shell 1= 1 orbital (2 electrons)
shell 2=4 orbitals shell 3=4 orbitals |
|
Valence electrons
|
the outter shell electrons that will bond
|
|
covalent bonds
|
sharing of electrons
|
|
nonpolar covalent bonds
|
equal sharing (H2)
|
|
polar covalent bonds
|
unequal sharing (HCl)
shared electrons will orbit chlorine more often and create a negativ charge |
|
ionic bonds
|
form between ions (no sharing) NaCl sodium gives the electron away, then sodium=positive ion and chlorine=ngativ ion
|
|
hydrogen bond (elctrostatic bond)
|
H2O:polar molecule a 4 cornered molecule and a tetrahedron
|
|
Properties of water
|
cohesion, adhesion, high "specific" heat, high heat of vaporization, solid is less dense, solvent, ionization of water
|
|
Cohesion
|
water sticks to other water molecules, high surface tension (skipping rocks)
|
|
Adhesion
|
H2O adheres to other polar molecules= hydrophilic
|
|
high "specific" heat
|
amt of heat that is absorbed or released to change the temp of 1 gram of water equals 1cal/1gr/1C
good stabilizer of temp |
|
high heat of vaporation
|
amt of heat applied to change 1 gr of H2O to vapor = 586 cal
|
|
Solid is less dense
|
4C is the temp where water is the most dense, widely spaced molecules = ice
|
|
solvent
|
H2O dissolves polar molecules and ionic molecules bc it attracks a charge and not nonpolar molecules bc there is no charge
|
|
Ionization of water
|
"Dissociation" can produce a proton and a hydronium and hydroxide ion with H3O + OH
|
|
Acid
|
proton donor
H + Cl = HCl vinegar lemon juice |
|
Base
|
proton acceptor
Na + OH = NaOH clorox |
|
pH of life
|
6-8
|
|
Acid rain
|
1.5-4.2

|
Buffers
|
used to regulate pH
blood |
|
