Study Notes
Organization of Life
- Life is organized into a hierarchy of levels, starting with atoms and progressing to the biosphere.
- Atoms are the smallest unit of an element.
- Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together.
- Cells are the basic unit of life.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
- Organs are made up of different tissues that work together.
- Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform a specific function.
- Organisms are made up of one or more organ systems.
- Populations are groups of the same species living in the same area.
- Communities are groups of different populations living in the same area.
- Ecosystems are communities of organisms and their physical environment.
- Biomes are large-scale ecosystems characterized by specific climates and vegetation.
Atomic structure
- Atoms are made of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons are positively charged and located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons have no charge and are also located in the nucleus.
- Electrons are negatively charged and found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Periodic Table
- The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number.
- Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- The atomic number also determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
- Mass Number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
Bonding
- Atoms become stable by filling their outer energy levels with electrons.
- Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal.
- Covalent bonds form when nonmetallic atoms share electrons.
- Covalent bonds are the strongest type of bond.
Water
- Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has an uneven distribution of charge.
- The oxygen side of the water molecule is slightly negative, while the hydrogen side is slightly positive.
- The polarity of water allows it to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and other polar molecules.
Properties of Water
- Cohesion: The attraction between molecules of the same substance
- Adhesion: The attraction between molecules of different substances
- High specific heat: Water resists changes in temperature.
- Less dense as a solid: Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water.
- Solvent: Water is an excellent solvent because of its polarity.
