INORGANIC COMPOUNDSORGANIC COMPOUNDS Small in size No carbon (some exceptions) Not a good source of energy Found on earth and in living things Ex: water, acids, bases, salts Large in size All contain carbon, and usually hydrogen >CO 2 is inorganic Good source of energy Ex: carbs and lipids Only in living things Other examples: Proteins, DNA, and RNA Also known as macromolecules
CHEMISTRY OF WATER
POLARITY Oxygen – electronegative & selfish and hogs the electrons Electronegative refers to its ability to attract electrons Polar covalent bond created between H & O Polarity- unequal sharing of electrons Results in a positive (H) and a negative (O) dipole
HYDROGEN BONDING Hydrogen bond- when H is weakly bonded to a more electronegative atom Caused by the polarity of water molecules Polarity and H bonds give water important in properties POGIL- ns/how-polarity-makes- water-behave-strangely- christina-kleinberg propertiesofwater/water.html propertiesofwater/water.html
PROPERTIES OF WATER Cohesion Adhesion Surface tension High specific heat Moderates temperature on earth and in our bodies Density of ice vs. water
COHESION & ADHESION Cohesion- water molecules sticking to other water molecules To create the least amount of surface area Adhesion- water molecules sticking to anything OTHER than water Ex: To plants, car windows, mirrors etc. Space station Video watch?v=whukr452ZvY
Water attracted to one another Pull inward- creates “membrane” on the outside of the molecules Caused by H bonds creating strong cohesive layer SURFACE TENSION Space Station- whukr452ZvY
ICE IS LESS DENSE THAN LIQUID WATER A liter of ice weighs less than a liter of water Caused by the hydrogen bonds- spread molecules out What would happen if ice was more dense than water? What effect do you think that would have on life?

WATER IS THE UNIVERSAL SOLVENT Suspension – 2 or more materials that do not chemically combine (heterogeneous) Ex: water and sand Solution – uniform mixture of 2 or more substances where the solid is chemically dissolved in the liquid. (homogeneous) Ex: Salt water Solvent – dissolving agent (usually water) Solute – Substance being dissolved (salt) Show Sumansain video
HIGH SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY Water has a high specific heat capacity Can absorb large amounts of heat and only raise temperate by a few degrees Regulates the climate (keeps it a moderate temp) Organisms (mostly made of water) regulate body temp in the same way
PH SCALE Acid – donates H+ ions Below 7 on pH scale Lower numbers = stronger acid Ex: Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Neutral – equal H+ and OH- Ex: Pure water, human blood pH of 7 Base – accepts H+ ions Above 7 on pH scale High number = stronger base Ex: ammonia, bleach
ACID PRECIPITATION! YIKES! Sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides mix with atmosphere From burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) Factories and cars Rain, snow, fog pH < 5.6 Recorded as low as 3! Impacts: Killing plants, and animals Eroding of buildings/statues/pipes/cables
BUFFER S A chemical substance that resists changes in pH by accepting hydrogen ions from or donating hydrogen ions to solutions (has both weak acid and base in it) Maintains homeostasis
