Highlighted stuff will show up on your test a lot! Use your textbook to answer these questions, and try to expand on each question, not just a direct answer. If you complete this entire study guide and memorize it, you will more than likely get an A. Good luck! Chapter 1 What are the basic characteristics of life? Cellularorganzathasemgyuzatnakeeneg it to per form tasks conditions What are the steps of scientific research What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis? Hypothesis : an educated guess that explains1 o r more observations Interconnected concepts Supported Scientific Theory : by reasoning What is Darwinism? describes how organisms have changed ove r time and acquired a diversity of new forms The term used to biological evolution. Explains and describe What did Charles Darwin write about in his books: On the Origin of Species The Voyage of the Beagle On Natural Selection What was the human genome project? International research project the goal of determing the base p ai rs that m a ke up human DNA What is descriptive science? Observing recording describing , , , classifying Chapter 2 What is matter? has mass and substanceI n the universe that any occupies space composed of atoms all matter is What is the difference between atoms, molecules, protons, electrons, neutrons, isotopes, and negativechargeeatals) of element that contains all the characteristics Electrons lons Atoms : smallest unit atoms that ions? : an : don't have the s a m e of protonsa electrons of 2 or more atoms -cation more aro than elect group molecule : A Chemical behavior , (1) due to + of electrons is # configuration an ion Protons the center atom (nucleus) neutron m o re elect than : at of an : no charge , pro () # of protons is atomic # in nucleus positive charge What is the difference between polymers, isomers, or monomers? · What is the difference between a reduction and oxidation reaction? oxidation & Reduction happenw Redox : The gain/loss of an electron oxidation : loss of a n electron Reduction : gain of an electron What are the different types of chemical bonds and what do they mean? opposite atoms attrac t each other Ionic The glain/loss of electrons form Covalent whenatomsshare ormorepattagea ions Hydrogen 2 atoms It sharing a electrons 2 t h a t BothS h a re atoms Double bonds Double covalent 2 atoms t h a t s h are 2 pairs of electrons Triple covalent 2 atoms that Share 3 electrons * pH = power of What is the difference between an acid, base, and buffer? that hydrogen And : any substance dissociates water to increase the hydrogen in con concentration - In turn lowers the PH , - The stronger the acid , the m o re hydrogen lons+ lower PH Base Substance : t h at combines W It dissolved into wa te r and lowers At Buffers : substance that resists changes in pH by : cons when base is added releasing hydrogen absorbing hydrogeni o n s when acid is added How do you determine the atomic mass of an element from its structure? Atomic mass = Protons + neutrons How do you determine the number of neutrons/electrons/protons from the atomic mass and number? Where do electrons reside? In the orbitals (rings around the nucleus) How do you predict an atom's ionic form? Its position on t h e Periodic table to attracted to another atom a stray unpaird electron can be predicted be What substance allowed molecules to interact to form complex molecules and why? (You need to know everything about this substance, specifically what bonds it can form, what its pH is, its unique properties, the vaporization, and its solvent properties) allows molecules. Its polarity allows for hydrogen bonds 100c 212 Fo Water. Water which which allows l o n othera s properties ispolar unique - water evaporates at - polar molecules to disolve in water - high heat capacity + polar molecules - Polarity wa te r disolves lons Water form Hydrogen b o n d s pure wa te r has Can PH of 7 essa a - What is polarity? What is a nonpolar vs polar molecule? polarity is the distribution of electro charge ove r the a ro m atoms liking for electrons nonpolar : equal sharing of electrons Electronegativity : an Polar : unequal sharing of electrons What is the rate of a reaction?
