Study Notes
Molecular Polarity
- The presence of an alcohol bond in a compound induces hydrogen bonding, contributing to molecular polarity.
- Molecules without symmetry are more likely to be polar, while symmetrical molecules tend to be nonpolar.
- Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons; differences influence bond types.
Electronegativity and Bonding
- Absolute electronegativity difference indicates bond type:
- Nonpolar Covalent Bond: 0 - 0.40
- Polar Covalent Bond: 0.41 - 1.79
- Ionic Bond: 1.8 and above
- A net dipole moment signifies molecular polarity; if present, the molecule is polar.
Lewis Electron Dot Structure (LEDS)
- To determine polarity, evaluate bond polarity and dipole moments using electronegativity values (e.g., H2O yields a polar bond).
Types of Nuclear Reactions
- Nuclear reactions involve atomic changes affecting mass and atomic numbers.
- Different types include alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, and gamma radiation.
- Nuclear reactions must be balanced on both sides.
Elements vs. Compounds
- Elements consist of a single atom type (e.g., He, O2); compounds contain multiple atom types (e.g., water).
Types of Nucleosynthesis
- Stellar Nucleosynthesis creates heavy elements during the hydrogen burning phase; involves the proton-proton cycle and the CNO cycle.
- Supernova Nucleosynthesis results from massive star explosions, creating new elements.
Isotopes
- Different types of hydrogen: Protium (1 proton, atomic number 1, atomic mass 1) defines isotopes based on mass variation.
Major Types of Intermolecular Forces
- Ion-Dipole Forces occur between ionic compounds and polar solvents.
- Dipole-Dipole Forces arise between polar molecules.
- Hydrogen Bonding is a strong dipole-dipole interaction involving H with electronegative atoms (N, O, F).
- London Dispersion Forces are weak interactions resulting from temporary dipoles.
Properties of Substances
- Surface tension causes liquid surfaces to contract; stronger intermolecular forces equal higher surface tension.
- Viscosity is liquid flow resistance; increases with hydrogen bonding.
- Capillary action allows liquids to rise in narrow tubes due to cohesive and adhesive forces.
Phospholipids and Fatty Acids
- Phospholipids are integral cell membrane components, featuring carbon chains with hydrogen.
- Saturated fats lack double bonds; excessive consumption can raise LDL cholesterol levels.
Protein Structure and Function
- Proteins act as structural components in tissues, composed of long chains of amino acids.
- Protein structures include:
- Primary: linear amino acid sequence
- Secondary: local folding (alpha helices, beta sheets)
- Tertiary: overall 3D structure due to side chain interactions.
Hormones
- Hormones are chemical messengers transported in the bloodstream to various tissues.
- Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, an essential component of cell membranes.
