What kind of compounds are all living things made up of? • Organic compounds What element do all organic compounds contain? What element do all organic compounds contain? • Carbon How many available bonding sites does a carbon atom have? How many available bonding sites does a carbon atom have? • 4 • Outer shell wants to have 8 electrons to become stable. How is carbon different from most of the other elements on the periodic table? How is carbon different from most of the other elements on the periodic table? • Carbon wants to bond to other carbon atoms! What 3 elements are found often in organic compounds? What 3 elements are found often in organic compounds? • Carbon • Hydrogen • Oxygen In a water molecule, oxygen pulls the shared electrons closer to its nucleus. So… near the O, the molecule is slightly negative, and near the 2 H’s, it is slightly positive. What is kind of molecule does this make water? In a water molecule, oxygen pulls the shared electrons closer to its nucleus. So… near the O, the molecule is slightly negative, and near the 2 H’s, it is slightly positive. What is kind of molecule does this make water? • POLAR molecule Water= Polar Molecule • has + and – poles, like magnet • wants to bond to other molecules Why is water effective at dissolving other polar substances? Why is water effective at dissolving other polar substances? • Because of its polarity Salt (NaCl) mixed in H2O dissociates into ions (Cl- and H+) because water is POLAR.
