In what abiotic chemical forms are these elements often found in nature?
|
Commonly found as CO2, N2, O2 ( for air)
H2O, PO4 and S for earth |
|
In what chemical form(s) do animals need to obtain these elements.
|
With the exception of water and oxygen, these are found as organic compounds.
|
|
In what chemical form(s) do plants need to obtain these elements?
|
plants obtain C as CO2.
N as ammonia or nitrate Phosphorus as phosphates Sulfur as sulfides or sulfates Plant find these elements by organic compounds |
|
Can a chemical element be broken done into other chemical forms by a chemical reactions?
|
No, it'll always have the same amount of protons, neutrons and electrons.
|
|
the atomic number of an element?
|
the number of protons
|
|
the mass numberof an element?
|
the sum of protons and neutrons
|
|
the weight in daltons of one atom of an element
|
proton and neutrons are about 1 dalton and electrons weight is so small it counts as 0 daltons.
|
|
what is the formula for photosynthesis?
|
6 CO2 + 12 H2O =C6H12O6 + 6 H2O
|
|
for every 1 mole of oxygen produced, how many moles of CO2 has to be consumed?
|
One mole of caron dioxide.
|
|
which is more soluble to water polar bonds or non-polar bonds?
|
Polar bonds because the negativity of the element is attracted to the positive charge of the H's.
|
|
What is the difference between a polar covalent bond and a non-polar colvalent bond?
|
a non-polar bond is two elements sharing equally, unlike a polar bond which doesn't share the charges equally.
|
|
What is a ionic bond?
|
This is when two elements bond together because of an attraction of anoins and cations or poisitve and negative charged elements.
|
|
What is a hydrogen bond?
|
the is when a hydrogen atom colvalently bonds to an electronegative atom that is also attracted to another electronegative.
|
|
what is the van der waals interaction?
|
this is when atoms and molecules are so close that it makes it always have a positive or negative charge.
|
|
what's the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
|
hydrophilic mixes in water and hydrophobic doesn't.
