Study Notes
Chemical Bonds and Water Properties
- Molecules are groups of atoms held together in stable association, while compounds are molecules that contain more than one type of element.
- Most substances encountered in everyday life are compounds, and their properties are distinct from the elements they are created from.
- Atoms within molecules are held together by chemical bonds, which are forces of attraction that make things solid.
- Each chemical bond type is characterized by a specific bond energy related to electrons, and valence electrons dictate how many bonds an atom can have and what bonds they can participate in.
- The discovery of valence electrons was important in understanding how atoms bond together to form compounds.
- Ionic bonds form when one atom wants to lose electrons and the other wants to gain electrons, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.
- Metallic bonds form within metals, where electrons move freely between atoms, creating a "sea" of electrons.
- Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons, and the strength of the bond depends on the number of electrons shared.
- Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are not shared equally between atoms, creating partial positive and negative charges.
- Ions, which are positively or negatively charged atoms, form the basis of many biological interactions and are involved in various biological processes.
- The sodium-potassium pump is an example of a biological bond, where three sodium ions are pushed out of the cell while two potassium ions enter, creating a differential charge for nerve impulses.
- Water is an important compound in life, and its properties include hydrogen bonding, polarity, cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, high heat evaporation, and the fact that ice floats on water.
