Study Notes
The Structure of an Oxygen Atom
- Oxygen's first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons.
- Oxygen's second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons.
Ionic Bonds
- Atoms are most stable when their outer energy levels are either empty or full.
- Atoms may give up or gain electrons to achieve stability.
- An atom that has gained or lost electrons becomes an ion, which carries an electric charge.
- Sodium (Na) has one electron in its outer energy level.
Polarity
- Magnets have opposite poles, which attract each other.
- Polar molecules have oppositely charged regions.
- Oppositely charged regions of polar molecules attract each other, resulting in hydrogen bonding.
- Water (H2O) is a polar molecule, and its molecules bond via hydrogen bonds.
Mixtures with Water
- A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each substance retains its individual properties.
- A homogeneous mixture has the same composition throughout and is also called a solution.
- A solution contains a solvent (the substance in which another substance is dissolved) and a solute (the substance being dissolved).
- In a fruit-flavored drink, water acts as the solvent, and the drink powder is the solute.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions occur when atoms or groups of atoms in substances are reorganized into different substances.
Roles of Carbohydrates
- Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a ratio of 1:2:1 (CH2O).
- Monosaccharides are simple sugars, disaccharides are two linked monosaccharides, and polysaccharides are longer carbohydrate chains.
- Carbohydrates function as energy sources for organisms and provide structural support in various biological structures.
Lipids
- Lipids are molecules primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen.
- Lipids include fats, oils, and waxes.
- The primary function of lipids is energy storage.
- Triglycerides are lipids classified as fats when solid and oils when liquid.
- Waxes are lipids that coat plant leaves to prevent water loss
Proteins
- Proteins are involved in various cellular functions: transport, speeding up reactions, providing structural support, and acting as hormones.
Nucleic Acids
- Nucleic acids store and communicate genetic information.
