Where are protons found?
|
Nucleus
|
|
Where are neutrons found?
|
Nucleus
|
|
Where are electrons found?
|
Outside the nucleus in shells that make up the elctron cloud
|
|
What does the atomic number represent?
|
The number of protons
|
|
What does the atomic mass represent?
|
The total number of protons andneutrons in the nucleus
|
|
Electrons are found occupying what regions of the atom?
|
Electrons occupy the outside of the atom called an electron cloud and are divided into shells
|
|
Electron Shells
|
Electron shells are subdivided into subshells
Subshells are sm p, d, f |
|
Covalent Bonding
Definition |
Sharing of electrons between atoms
Atoms that bond covalently have a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7 |
|
Ionic Bonding
Definition |
Also called electrovalent or noncovalent bonding
Characterized as a charge-charge interaction Defined as a transfer of electrons Occurs when electronegativity difference is 1.7 or greater |
|
Hydrogen Bonding
Definition |
A type of non-covalent bond
Bonding occurs between a positive H from one molecule and a negatively charged oxygen or nitrogen from another molecule |
|
Electronegativity
Definition |
The attractive force between an atom's positively charged protons and its negatively charged electrons
The force of attraction an atom exhibits for its electrons |
|
Electronegativity
How does it influence bonding? |
When the electronegativity difference is:
0.0 - 1.6 bond is covalent 0.0 - 0.4 electrons are shared equally - non-polar 0.5 - 0.9 electrons are shared unequally - non-polar if molecule is symmetrical 1.0 -1.6 electrons are shared unequally - polar if moleucle is asymmetrical 1.7 and greater bond is ionic and electrons are transferred |

Reactions
|
Exchange reaction
Reversible reaction Synthesis reaction Decomposition reaction |
|
Exchange Reaction
Example |
HCl + NaOH NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)
|
|
Reversible Reaction
Example |
H2O + CO2 H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
|
|
Synthesis Reaction
Example |
N + 3H NH3 (ammonia)
|
|
Decomposition Reaction
example |

|
|
Define pH
|
pH represents the amount of free H+ ions present in solution
|
|
pH
|
the lower case "p" in mathematics represents the negative logarithm (-log), which is based on 10 to a negative power or exponent
Ex: 10-3 equals .001, or one-thousandth of one, the one representing 1 mole Tghe lower the pH the higher the concentration of free hydrogen ions H+ and the more acidic |
|
pK
|
Represents the amount of ionization product at equilibrium
|
|
Why is water an excellent solvent?
|
Water is an excellent solvent because of its tendency to form H bonds, and its dipolar character.
|
|
Water as a solvent
|
H Bonds - Water can form hydrogen bonds, and therefore readily dissolve hydroxyl compounds, amines, sulfhydryl compounds, esters, ketones, and a wide variety of other organic compounds
|
|
Water as a solvent
|
Dipolar character allows it to dissolve ionic compounds
The interaction of dipoles with cations and anions causes the ions to become hydrated - that it, surrounded by the polar water molecules(called hydration shells) The high dielectric constant helps dissolve ionic compounds Dipolar nature of water also helps to dissolnonionic, but polar organic molecules such as amides |
|
Dielectric Constant
|
get definition
water has a high dielectric constant High dielectric constant results from dipole character of the water molecule High dielectric constant reduces electrostatic forces between other charged particles, so the molecules drift fruther apart and can dissolve in water |
|
Important characteristics of water
|
Molecular weight is 18 gram/mol
Boiling point is 100 C Freezing Point is 0 C High viscosity High surface tension High dielectric constant |
|
Why does water freeze from the top down?
|
liquid water is denser than solid ice
Liquid water is denser than ice because when the ice lattice breaks down, the molecules can move closer together |
|
How does the lattice of ice differ from the lattice of liquid water
|
Ice has a tetrahedral lattice - each water molecule is hydrogen bonded to 4 other water molecules - this creates rigid OH vectors
Ice has a closed lattice (clathrate) Water - The lattice is partially broken down in water - bonds form and break, so you have an open lattice as ice melts see pic pg. 6 |
|
Why does ice expand?
|
the secret lies in the rigid OH vectors create when a water molecule interacts with 4 other water molecules
Ice expands because the molecules can move further apart (same reason it is less dense than liquid water) |

|
What is the composition of simple lipids?
|
fatty acid + glycerol
|
|
Fatty Acids
|
Fatty acids are organic because they contain a carboxyl group (COOH)
|
|
