Carbon Chemistry
Carbon atoms that are arranged in widely spaced layers
What is graphite?
The type of unsaturated hydrocarbon that has at least one triple bond.
What is alkyne?
These are the two elements always found in organic compounds.
What is carbon and hydrogen?
A single molecule that can react with other molecules to form a large molecule.
What is a monomer?
A force that makes a body follow a curved path. You experience this when riding a spinning ride at an amusement park.
What is centripetal force?
Carbon atoms that are arranged in hollow cages
What is fullerenes?
The type of unsaturated hydrocarbon that has all single bonds.
What is alkane?
This is how the majority of electric power in the U.S. is generated.
What is by burning coal in power plants?
A large molecule that is made out of many smaller molecules joined together by covalent bonds.
What is a polymer?
Fast moving air over the wing of an airplane creates a pressure difference that causes this.
What is lift?
Carbon atoms bonded to four other carbon atoms
What is a diamond?
The type of unsaturated hydrocarbon that has alternating single and double bonds in ring
What is aromatic hydrocarbon?
These are 3 types of fossil fuels
What are coal, natural gas and petroleum?
Daily Double: Draw a Figure (figure 14.11) summarizing the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
This drawing is worth a total of 2000 points. 200 points per each of the 8 terms and 200 for each of the sets of arrows. Answer on p. 506 figure 14.11
These two types of organic compounds help with biochemical reactions in cells, and are necessary to keep your cells alive.
What are enzymes and vitamins?
These hydrocarbons have at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms, so the carbon atoms are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
What are unstaturated hydrocarbons?
The type of unsaturated hydrocarbon that has at least one double bond
What is alkene?
This is the deadly gas produced when there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion of all the fuel.
What is carbon monoxide?
All biochemical compounds contain these three elements.
What is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
This Swiss mathematician discovered that the pressure of a moving fluid decreases if the fluid moves faster.
Who was Daniel Bernoulli?
These hydrocarbons have only single bonds between the carbon atoms.
What are saturated hydrocarbons?
This is why butane and isobutane both can have the formula C4H10.
What is because the compounds are isomers?
Butane is a straight-chain alkane, Isobutane is a branched-chain alkane.
When hydrocarbons of fossil fuels are burned in the presence of adequate oxygen, and the primary products are carbon dioxide and water.
What is complete combustion?
These are the 4 main classes of biochemical compounds.
What are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids?
This is why fast moving cars passing one another in opposite directions on the highway tend to be slightly forced together.
What happens when two areas of moving, lower-pressure air meet, producing a pressure difference, (lower pressure is between the cars and higher pressure on the outside of each car)?
This is according to Bernoulli's principle that faster-moving air will have a lower pressure.
