- Chemical bonds include ionic (involving transferred electrons), covalent (involving shared electrons), and hydrogen bonds (attractions between polar molecules).
- A compound is a type of molecule that consists of different elements.
Water Properties
- Water is the solvent in aqueous solutions, dissolving polar substances due to its polar nature.
- Cohesion refers to water molecules' tendency to stick together, a crucial property for forming droplets and regulating temperature.
- Water's unique properties stem from hydrogen bonding, allowing for phenomena such as surface tension and temperature regulation.

- Carbohydrates serve as energy sources and include monosaccharides (single-monomer sugars), disaccharides (two-monomer sugars), and polysaccharides (many-monomer chains).
Proteins and Amino Acids
- Proteins, composed of amino acids, serve diverse biological functions and are essential for various cellular processes.
- The formation of polypeptides occurs through dehydration synthesis, where water is released during bond formation between amino acids.
- A protein becomes denatured when its structure is disrupted, affecting its function and activity.
pH and Chemical Reactions
- Acids have a pH lower than 7, while bases have a pH higher than 7; neutral substances have a pH of 7.
- Chemical reactions involve breaking and forming new bonds and require reactants that are transformed into products.
