Document Summary

Weak bonds: bonds which are not involved in making a substance. Hydrogen bonds: weak attractions between atoms on different molecules or different parts of a large molecule, occur between molecules that have polar covalent to ionic bonds, always involve hydrogen, bonds dna. Molecules and compounds: molecule-smallest unit of a compound (h20 molecule, compound- 2+ atoms. Identical but not because they are mirror images of each other (l isomer vs. d isomer) Molecular weight: the sum of the atomic masses for all of the atoms in a molecule, sucrose (c12h22o11)=342, 12x12 + 22x1 +11x16. Insulin: c254, h377, n65, 075, s6, total: Gram molecular weight: the mass of a substance equal to its molecular weight in grams, contains a constant number of molecules, avogadro"s number of molecules, 6. 022x10^23. Moles and molar concentrations: 1 mole= the mass of a substance equal to its gram molecular weight, 1 molar solution= a solution containing 1 mole of a substance per liter of solution.

Circle the word of phrase that correctly completes the sentece or answers the question. The property that allows water molecule to be attracted to each other is called (cohesion, adhesion). This propert is conferred by (covalent bonds, hydrogen gonds). This property is conferred by ( covalent bond, hydrogen bond). Ice is ( more dense, less dense) than liquid water. Water is polar molecule because of the unequal sharing of( electrons, protons) between the atoms in H2O. Adhesion of water to a surface is through the action of (covalent bond, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds) between the water and the surace. Water is converted from liquid to vapor through the brakage of ( colvalent, hydrogen) bonds. Which (one) of these substance is not hydrophilic:( cellulose, oil, NaCl).
