Unit 4 A.5, A.7, and A.9

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons within a chemical bond. A cohesive force is the attractive force between molecules in a substance. A mixture is the combination of materials that retain its separate identity. A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is not uniform throughout. A suspension is a mixture containing large dispersed solid particles that can be separated by filtration. The tyndall effect is the scattering of light caused by reflection from suspended particles. Colloid is a mixture containing small solid particles that does not settle out. Milk would be an example of a colloid. Homogeneous means uniform throughout. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. When mixing salt with water, the salt is the solute, the dissolved substance, and the water is the solvent, the dissolving agent. In the water cycle a repetitive process of rainfall, run-off, evaporation, and condensation occurs in the Earth's crust and atmosphere. Direct water use is water consumed by an end user and indirect water use is the water consumed in the preparation, production, or delivery of goods. The water found on the Earth's surface is called surface water and water from underground is called groundwater. An aquifer is a water-bearing layer of rock, sand, or gravel.

Unit 3 D.1-D.2 and C.8-C.10

Cellular respiration is the process that is used by organisms to convert complex molecules into carbon dioxide and water molecules. A biomolecule is a large organic molecule found in living systems. A carbon cycle is the movement of carbon atoms within the Earth's ecosystems. In photosynthesis carbon dioxide goes in the plant, photosynthesis occurs, and oxygen gas and carbohydrates leave the plant. Global warming is the observed and predicted increases in average global surface temperatures.

Unit 3 C.5

The equation for the burning of hydrocarbon is: Hydrocarbon + Oxygen gas –––> Carbon dioxide + Water + Thermal energy. After given the hydrocarbon, you plug in the formula of it to the equation. Then you have to balance the equation to make it work. The combustion of a hydrocarbon is a highly exothermic reaction.

Unit 3 C.2-C.4

There are three different types of energy; there is potential, kinetic, and chemical energy. Potential energy is energy of position. Kinetic energy is energy related to motion. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in chemical compounds. Thermal energy, also known as heat, is the energy a material posses due to its temperature. Endothermic is a process that requires the addition of energy and exothermic is a process that involves the release of energy. The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in any mechanical, physical, or chemical processes. Heat of combustion is the amount of thermal energy released when a material burns. Molar heat of combustion is the amount of thermal energy released from burning one mole of a substance.

Unit 3 B.1-B.4

A polymer is a molecule composed of very large numbers of identical repeating units and a monomer is a compound where the molecules react to form the repeating units of a polymer. In chemistry there is a branch called organic chemistry that deals with hydrocarbons. In hydrocarbon molecules, carbon atoms that are chemically linked to one another is called a carbon chain. In an atom the shell surrounds the atom's nucleus with one or more electrons. The first shell surrounding the nucleus has a capacity of two electrons and the second shell has the capacity to hold eight electrons. Every atom combines with another atom to get eight electrons in its shell. The electrons in the outer most shell are called valence electrons. A covalent bond is the sharing of two or more valence electrons between two atoms. The Lewis dot structures helps indicate covalent bonds. Another way to represent a covalent bond would be by drawing a line and this is called a structural formula. Petrochemicals are any organic compounds that are produced from petroleum or natural gas. An addition reaction is a reaction at the double or triple bond within an organic molecule and an addition polymer is a polymer that is formed by repeated addition reactions.

Unit 3 Sec. B Summary HW

7/17/14
1) A covalent bond is the sharing of two or more valence electrons between two atoms.

3) The elements share their electrons like two dogs tugging at the same sock so each element can have the 8 electrons it needs.

4) The dot in a Lewis dot structure represents an electron.

5) The dash will help identify which electrons are shared by the elements in a covalent bond.

Unit 3 A.10-A.12

Extrapolation is the process of estimating a value based on known data points. Intermolecular forces are the result of uneven distribution of electrical charge in a molecule. A polar molecule is a molecule that has a partially positive and negative charge. When drawing the alkane molecules, two ways of drawing the molecules is either as a straight-chain alkane or as a branched-chain alkane. The straight-chain alkane is an alkane consisting of molecules where the carbon atoms are linked together side by side. The branched-chain alkane is when one carbon atom is linked to three or four other carbon atoms. Structural isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formulas but different arrangements of atoms.
