1. Holt Chapter 16 Chemical Compounds

2. Section 1 Ionic and Covalent Compounds Pages 398-400

3. Ionic compounds contain ionic bonds and are composed of oppositely charged ions arranged in a repeating pattern called a crystal lattice/

4. Ionic compounds tend to be: - brittle - have high melting points - dissolve in water to form solutions that conduct an electric current.

5. Covalent compounds are composed of elements that are covalently bonded and consist of independent particles called molecules.

6. Section 2 Acids, Bases, and Salts Pages 401-406

7. An acid is a compound that - increases the number of hydrogen ions in solution. Acids - taste sour, - turn blue litmus paper red, - react with limestone or baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas.

9. A base is a compound that - increases the number of hydroxide ions in solution - taste bitter - feel slippery - turn red litmus paper blue

10. Dissolving in water When dissolved in water, every molecule of a strong acid or strong base breaks apart to form ions. Few molecules of weak acids or weak bases break apart to form ions.

11. When combined, an acid and a base neutralize one another to produce water and a salt Ex: NaOH + HCl --> NaOH + H 2 O base acid salt water

12. pH is a measure of hydronium ion concentration in a solution. A pH of 7 indicates a neutral substance A pH of less than 7 indicates an acidic substance A pH of more than 7 indicates a basic substance

13. A salt is an ionic compound formed from the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid. Ex. Na + Cl - + H + Cl - --> NaOH + H 2 O

14. Section 3 Organic Compounds Pages 407-413

15. Organic compounds are covalent compounds composed of carbon-based molecules.

16. Each carbon atom forms four bonds with other carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements to form straight chains, branched chains, or rings.

17. Biochemicals are organic compounds made by living things.

18. Carbohydrates are biochemicals that are composed of one or more simples sugars bonded together. They are used as a source of energy and for energy storage.

19. Lipids are biochemicals that do NOT dissolve in water and have many functions, including storing energy and making up cell membranes.

20. Proteins are biochemicals that are composed of amino acids and have many functions: Regulating materials Storing materials Providing structural support

21. Nucleic acids are biochemicals that: - store information - help to builds proteins and other nucleic acids

22. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen

23. In a saturated hydrocarbon, each carbon atom in the molecule shares a single bond with each of four carbon atoms. Example: Propane in a camping stove

24. In an unsaturated hydrocarbon, at least two carbon atoms share a double bond or a triple bond. Example: ethene, produced by fruit, and a miner’s lamp used for welding

25. Many aromatic hydrocarbons are based on the six-carbon ring of benzene

26. Other organic compounds, including alkyl halides, alcohols, organic acids, and esters, are formed by adding atoms of other elements.

27. In a saturated hydrocarbon, each carbon atom in the molecule shares a single bond with each of four other atoms
