A single molecule that can react with other molecules to form a large molecule
Define Polymer
A large molecule that is made out of many smaller molecules joined together by covalent bonds
Define Diamond
Carbon atoms are bonded to four other carbon atoms
Define Graphite
Carbon atoms are arranged in widely spaced layers
Define Fullerenes
Carbon atoms are arranged in hollow cages
Saturated Hydrocarbons have what kind of bonds?
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons have what kind of bonds?
They have at least one double or triple bond between the carbon atoms.
How can butane and isobutane both have the same formula?
The compounds are isomers
Define Alkane
has all single bonds
Define Alkyne
has at least one triple bond
Define Alkene
Has at least one double bond
Define Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Has alternating single and double bonds in rings.
What are three kinds of fossil fuels?
Coal, natural gas, and petroleum
Suppose a gas furnace is producing a large amount of carbon monoxide. What process is causing carbon monoxide to be produced, and how can the amount that is produced be reduced?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel.
What elements do all biochemical compounds contain?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Which process is water a product?
cellular respiration
Which process is water the reactant?
Photosynthesis
Which process produces Carbohydrates?
Photosynthesis
Which process are carbohydrates a reactant?
Cellular Respiration
What role does energy play in the cycle of photosynthesis?
Light energy is absorbed during photosynthesis. This energy is converted to chemical energy and stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrates.
What role does energy play in cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration, as the chemical bonds are broken, the energy is released as heat.
What two types of organic compounds help with biochemical reactions in cells?
Enzymes and Vitamins
When fast moving cars pass one another in opposite directions on the highway, they tend to be slightly forced together. Explain why this happens.
According to Bernoulli's Principle faster moving air will have a lower pressure. As the car travels the air is moving fast around it.
The Greatest Showman
When is the science paper due?
