    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.

    • Properties of compounds are distinct from the elements they are made of.
    • Chemical bonds are forces of attraction that hold atoms together in molecules.
    • Chemical bonds have specific bond energies related to electrons.
    • Valence electrons determine the number and types of bonds an atom can form.
    • Ionic bonds form when one atom loses electrons and another gains electrons.
    • Metallic bonds occur within metals, where electrons move freely between atoms.
    • Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons, creating molecules.
    • Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple, depending on the number of shared electrons.
    • Ions, either negatively charged (anions) or positively charged (cations), are involved in many biological processes.
    • The sodium-potassium pump is an example of the importance of ions in cellular processes.
    • Water is essential for life and exhibits properties such as hydrogen bonding, polarity, cohesion, and adhesion.
