The Holy Review Miriam Senatus a. EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE ALREADY A SCIENTIST I am a scientist because everything around me has to do with science and I am constantly engaged in science. For example when I wash my clothes or ride a bike. I think that all of us have one time or another have asked ourselves why is the ocean blue. By just being able to ask, that question makes me a scientist. b. DESCRIBE CAREER GOAL My career goal is to attend Brigham Young University and get a degree in Education. c. PERSONAL VIEW TOWARDS EDUCATION I believe that education is everything. It makes us who we are today. It molds our mind and it is one think that will never stop. The power of learning is the best tool mankind has been given. d. DESCRIBE WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED IN LIFE What keeps me motivated is the fear of failure and not living up to expectations.

I know this Chapter 2 1.Define element and compound. I know this 2.State four elements essential to life that make up 96% of living matter. I know this 3.Describe the structure of an atom. I know this 4.Define and distinguish among atomic number, mass number, atomic weight, and valence. Atomic #- Number of protons Mass #- sum of protons plus neutrons Atomic weight-the total atomic mass, or mass number Valence- the outermost shell of electrons 5.Given the atomic number and mass number of an atom, determine the number of neutrons. I know this 6.Explain the octet rule and predict how many bonds an atom might form. Octet rule- 2 electrons can fill the first energy level and 8 electrons can fit the second energy level and the third and other levels also. 7.Define electronegativity and explain how it influences the formation of chemical bonds. Electronegativity-The tendency for an atom to pull electrons toward itself. Influences the formation of chemical bonds because all elements need to be complete….so therefore there is a need to form chemical bonds in order to be complete. Therefore electronegativity causes bonds to occur because the of the lack of electrons that other atoms may or may not have. 8.Distinguish among nonpolar covalent, polar covalent and ionic bonds.

Continuity and Change-Chemical reactions change the composition of matter 4. Relationship of Structure to Function-atomic structure determines the behavior of an element. 5. Regulation-Life requires 25 chemical elements Chapter 3 1.Describe how water contributes to the fitness of the environment to support life. Organisms depend on the cohesion of water molecules. Hydrogen bonding makes water molecules stick together and this cohesion helps pull water upward in themicrospic vessels. Water has a high Ph so heat is absorbed when H + bonds break and is released when h+ bonds form, minimizing temp. fluctuations to within limits that permit life. 2.Describe the structure and geometry of a water molecule, and explain what properties emerges as a result of this structure. http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/bookbind/pubbooks/campbell_awl/chapter3/medialib/0301.jpg It causes water to have surface tension and cohesion because of the structure of it. 3.Explain the relationship between the polar nature of water and its ability to form hydrogen bonds. Polar molecule Is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite sides. So therefore the relationship there is that Hydrogen bond is a type of weak chemical bond formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another molecule. 4.List five characteristics of water that are emergent properties resulting from hydrogen bonding. 1. Cohesion 2. Surface Tension 3. Adhesion 4. Expands when freezes 5. Disassociation of water 5.Describe the biological significance of the cohesiveness of water. Contributes to transport of water against gravity in plants Water clings to walls of vessels in xylem. Helps counter downward pull of gravity. Surface tension, Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break surface of liquid, water has greater surface tension than most other liquids 6.Distinguish between heat and temperature. Heat- The total amount of kinetic energy due to molecular motion in a body of matter. Heat is energy in its most random form. Temperature- A measure of the intensity of heat in degrees, reflecting the average kinetic energy of the molecules. 7.Explain how water's high specific heat, high heat of vaporization and expansion upon freezing affect both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. With high specific heat water can absorb large amounts of heat without large changes in temperature, Large bodies of water help moderate temperature on earth Without large changes in temperature, gradual cooling of large body of water warms air Makes ocean temperatures quite stable .Since water covers most of the Earth, temperature fluctuations are within limits that permit life 3. Water has a high heat of vaporization ,Keeps water in liquid state. Helps moderate Earth’s climate. Water vapor condenses to form rain Evaporative cooling , Helps prevent overheating . Contributes to stability of temperature in lakes and ponds 4. Water expands when it Deeper water insulated by floating ice Allows like to exist under frozen surface Helps make seasonal changes less abrupt . As water freezes, Heat released to air, causes air to warm, decreasing effects of decrease in temperature 8.Explain how the polarity of the water molecule makes it a versatile solvent.

Regulation-Life requires 25 chemical elements Chapter 4 1.Explain how carbon’s electron configuration determines the kinds and number of bonds carbon will form. Because carbon usually has an atomic number of 6; therefore, it has 4 valence electrons. It usually completes its outer energy shell by sharing valence electrons in four covalent bonds.mergent properties, such as the kinds and number of bonds carbon will form which is determined by their tetravalent electron configuration. 2.Describe how carbon skeletons may vary, and explain how this variation contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules. Carbon skeletons may vary in that they may be straight, branched, or arranged in colsed rings. Some carbon skeletons have double bonds, which vary in number and location. Such variation in carbon skeletons is one important source of the molecular complexity and diversity. 3.Recognize the major functional groups, and describe the chemical properties of organic molecules in which they occur. 1. The hydroxyl group Hydroxyl group = A functional group that consists of a hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom, which in turn is bonded to carbon (-OH). · Is a polar group; the bond between the oxygen and hydrogen is a polar covalent bond. · Makes the molecule to which it is attached water soluble. Polar water molecules are attracted to the polar hydroxyl group which can form hydrogen bonds. · Organic compounds with hydroxyl groups are called alcohols. 2. The carbonyl group Carbonyl group = Functional group that consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to oxygen (-CO). • Is a polar group. The oxygen can be involved in hydrogen bonding, and molecules with his functional group are water soluble. • Is a functional group found in sugars.

The carboxyl group Carboxyl group = Functional group that consists of a carbon atom which is both double-bonded to an oxygen and single-bonded to the oxygen of a hydroxyl group (-COOH). • Is a polar group and water soluble. The covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen is so polar, that the hydrogen reversibly dissociates as H+ This polarity results from the combined effect of the two electronegative oxygen atoms bonded to the same carbon. HOHO | // | // H-C-C H-C-C + H + |\|\ H OH H O -Acetic Acetate Hydrogen acid ion ion • Since it donates protons, this group has acidic properties.

The amino group Amino group = Functional group that consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogens and to the carbon skeleton (-NH2 ). • Is a polar group and soluble in water. • Acts as a weak base. The unshared pair of electrons on the nitrogen can accept a proton, giving the amino group a +1 charge. HH // R-N + H + R+ N-H \\ HH Amine Ammonium ion • Organic compounds with this function group are called amines. 5. The Sulfhydryl group Sulfhydryl group = Functional group which consists of an atom of sulfur bonded to an atom of hydrogen (-SH). • Help stabilize the structure of proteins. (Disulfide bridges will be discussed with tertiary structure of proteins in Chapter 5, Structure and Function of Macromolecules.) • Organic compounds with this functional group are called thiols. 6. The phosphate group Phosphate group = Functional group which is the dissociated form of phosphoric acid (H3 PO4 ). • Loss of two protons by dissociation leaves the phosphate group with a negative charge.
