* MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LOW BOND THAN BRANCH * -ene (double bond)‚ -yne (triple bond)‚ -anol (oxygen then hydrogen)‚ chloro/bromo/fluoro/iodo- (halogen)‚ amino- (nitrogen)‚ -anoic acids (one oxygen with a single‚ one with a double bond) * If there is a double or triple bond write it just before ene or yne. Eg. But-2-ene * If naming an alcohol (an oxygen and a hydrogen)‚ if there is a double or triple bond‚ -anol becomes‚ for example‚ -ene-2-ol or –yne-3-ol * Make sure you write

the base. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l) When a weak acid is neutralised some of the energy is needed to dissociate the molecules to make the hydrogen ions available for neutralisation. The result is a value for neutralisation enthalpy lower than - 57 kJ/mol (numerically lower‚ not more negative!) Note that as the weak acid is in equilibrium as the hydrogen ions are ’mopped up’ by the base the equilibrium shifts to the right hand side to make more until eventually all of the acid is able to react

| n-nonane | 35 | -54 | 151 | C10H22 | n-decane | 75 | -30 | 174 | The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons contain only two elements‚ hydrogen and carbon. A saturated hydrocarbon or alkane is a hydrocarbon in which all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. Each carbon atom forms four bonds and each hydrogen forms a single bond to a carbon. The bonding around each carbon atom is tetrahedral‚ so all bond angles are 109.5°. As a result‚ the carbon atoms in higher alkanes

form the shared pairs form covalent bonds with the hydrogen atoms. The remaining two pairs are unshared and have a greater repulsive effect than the shared pairs. The combined repulsive effect of the two unshared electron pairs produces an H-O-H bond angle that is smaller than the H-C-H bond angle (109.47 degrees) in methane or the H-N-H bond angle (107 degrees) in ammonia. Actual measurement of the bond angle in water is 104.5. If the two hydrogen nuclei were

Summer Assignment – AP Biology – Chapters 2-5 Chapter 2 1. CHNOPS are the six most crucial elements in most macromolecules. Name them. Carbon‚ Hydrogen‚ Nitrogen‚ Oxygen‚ Phosphorous‚ Sulfur. 2. Create a chart and state how many bonds each of the CHNOPS elements can form. Carbon | Hydrogen | Nitrogen | Oxygen | Phosphorous | Sulfur | 4 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 or 5 | 2 | 3. Create a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast polar covalent bonds‚ nonpolar covalent bonds‚ and ionic bonds.

Instead‚ we talk about ‘formula units’ The formula unit (f.u.) is the same as the chemical formula Calculate
Premium Oxygen Hydrogen Atom
in yeast During respiration‚ hydrogen atoms are removed from glucose molecules by enzymes called dehydrogenases and passed to various chemicals called hydrogen acceptors. As the hydrogen atoms pass from one hydrogen acceptor to another‚ energy is made available for chemical reactions in the cell. In this way‚ substances such as glucose provide energy for vital reactions in living organisms. In this experiment‚ a dye called methylene blue acts as an artificial hydrogen acceptor. When this dye is reduced

by road vehicles. The second is hydrogen‚ the idea of using hydrogen‚ which is of course a gas and ambient conditions‚ came from the time when nuclear fusion was supposed to produce abundant electricity at very low cost‚ which could then be used to electrolyse water‚ yielding abundant and she cheap hydrogen. Unfortunately nuclear fusion has persisted in remaining on the horizon as a possible energy sources‚ and hence other strategies for generating hydrogen have been extensively investigated

solids. Structure: The simplest saturated acyclic hydrocarbon is methane‚ CH4. The other hydrocarbons belonging to this class can be taken as descendents of methane‚ resulted from the substitution of one or more atoms of hydrogen with hydrocarbon radicals. Therefore‚ if one hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by a methyl radical‚ -CH3‚ the hydrocarbon (superior to methane) will have the composition C2H6‚ named ethane. The alkanes can be: with a continuous chain‚ if all the carbon atoms are bound
