Q

What Happens Across a Period

A

Across a period the size of the atom decreases

  • As electrons are attracted more strongly to nucleus (More protons in nucleus)
  • Chance of gaining electrons and forming negative ions increases

Period has same number of electron shells

Q

What Happens Down A Group

A

Same number of valence electrons
- Group number tells us the charge and how many valence electrons it has

Form same number of bonds

Atoms get bigger down a group
- They hold their electrons less tightly (Even though they have more protons, there are more shells)

Q

What Happens on Left Side of Periodic Table

A

Forms positive ions

As you go down group, forms ions easier, as the valence electrons are further from nucleus (More shells), so they let go of them easier (Francium is the weakest)

Postive ions are generally metals

Q

What Happens on Right Side of Periodic Table

A

Forms negative ions

As you go to top of group, forms ions easier, as the valences are closer to nucleus (Less shells), so they can pull in more

Negative ions are generally non-metals

Q

What is Electronegativity

A

Ability of an atom to attract additional electrons

As you go from left to right of periodic table, electronegativity increases

  • Means the size of the atom gets smaller, increasing the attraction of electrons
  • This is because the nucleus becomes more positive (Has more protons), pulling electrons in closer

As you go from up to down of periodic table, electronegativity decreases

25
What are Ionic Bonds
Metal with nearly empty outher shell reacts with non-metal with nearly full outer shell Where the metal gives their electron to non-metal, so both get full shells
26
How Does the Lattice Structure in Ionic Bonding Work
Each ion in ionic compound is held in place by electrostatic attractive forces - Held together as opposite ions attract (Anions & Cations) Ions form crystal lattice made of ionic bonds - Each positive ion surrounded by 6 negative ion, vice versa - Keeps formation in place
27
What are Ionic Compounds
Compounds that consist of ions Consists of metal and one or more non-metals
28
What are Properties of Ionic Compounds & Bonds
Conductive Hard High melting point & boiling point Soluble Brittle - Force applied = Puts positive ions next to eachother, shattering the compound --Due to repulsion of like charges --Example: Salt (NaCl)
29
What is the Electrical Conductivity of Ionic Compounds in Solids
Ions in lattice are fixed in position Don't move = No charge flows
30
What is the Electrical Conductivity of Ionic Compounds in Liquids
Ions in lattice can move Charge flows = Conducts electricity Ions go towards their opposite charge (Positive to negative)
31
What are Covalent Bonds
Form when two non-metal atoms with nearly full outer shells share electrons Neither one gives away an electron - Shared electron count towards both atoms electron configuration Diagrams mainly shown through electron dot diagrams
32
How are Covalent Bonds Formed
Non-Metals hold onto valence electrons - Can’t give them away electrons to bond - Though still need noble gas configuration - They get it by sharing valence electrons with each other -- = Both atoms get to count electrons toward noble gas configuration
33
What do Covalent Bonds Make
Makes molecules - Made by specific atoms joining together by sharing electrons
34
What Are the 2 Kinds of Molecules Formed by Covalent Bonds
Diatomic Molecules Molecular Compounds
35
What are Molecular Compounds
Sharing electrons of different non-metals Low melting & boiling points Molecular formula shows type & number of atoms in molecule - Not ratio, actual amount - Doesn’t tell you how atoms arranged
36
What are Diatomic Molecules
Two of the same atom Eg. Cl2, Br2
37
What are Diatomic Molecules
8 elements that always form molecules Elements: Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine - All the -ogens, -ines - Basically, Oxygen by itself means O2 Easy way to remember, 1 + 7 pattern on periodic table
38
What are the Types of Covalent Bonds
Single Covalent Bonds Multiple Covalent Bonds
39
What are Single Covalent Bonds
Sharing of two valence electrons Only non-metals & Hydrogen Difference from ionic bond because they form molecules - Two specific atoms joined - In ionic solid, you can’t tell which atom electrons moved from/to
40
What are Multiple Covalent Bonds
Atoms that share more than one pair of valence electrons - Double bond = Atom shares two pairs (4) of electrons - Triple bond = Atom shares three pairs (6) of electrons
41
What are Metallic Bonds
Forms sea of mobile electrons throughout lattice structure Aren't held to any one ion
42
What is an Ion
Electrically charged, formed when atoms gain / lose electrons to fill shell Fills shell to become more stable Electrons that are gained by negative ions came from an ion - That ion released an electron and became positive
43
What are Cations
If atom loses electrons to fill shell = Positive ion (Cation) - Forms on left hand side of periodic table Atoms that have few valence electrons that don’t attract as much, so they lose
44
What are Anions
If atom gains electron = Negative ion (Anion) - Forms on right hand side of periodic table Atoms with many valence electrons gain electrons forming negative ions
45
What are Ionic Substances
When an element from the left hand side joins with element from right hand side, the left hand side gives electron to right hand side
46
Naming Covalent Bonds
Element further left named first, keeps its normal name - If two elements in same group, element further down named first Element further right (Higher if in same group), named second - End of its name changed to end in ‘-ide’ -- Eg. Fluoride, Oxide, Sulfide, Bromide Prefixes used to indicate if more than one element present in molecule - 1 = Mono - 2 = Di - 3 = Tri - 4 = Tetra - 5 = Penta
47
Naming Ionic Bonds
Metal / Positive Ion named first - Keeps normal name Non-Metal / Negative Ion named second - End of its name changed to end in ‘ide’ -- Eg. Fluoride, Oxide, Sulfide, Bromide
48
Writing Formula For Ionic Compounds
Positive ion (Usually metal ion) written first Negative ion (Usually non-metal ion) written second Number of each ion adjusted so that positive charge = Negative charge - Subscripts used to indicate number of ions present -- Shows ratio, not actual amount - Use ‘drop and swap’ method If non-metal or metal (Ammonium) has more than one element, than when ‘drop and’swap, put brackets around the one with multiple elements, as it is one ion
49
Writing Formula For Covalent Substances
Element further left named first - If two elements in same group, element further down named first Element further right (Higher if in same group), named second Number of each ion adjusted so that charges are equal - Subscripts used to indicate number of ions present - Use ‘drop and swap’ method
50
What is an Acid
Substance that produces H+ ions in a solution Has a pH of below 7
51
What is a Base
Substance that produces OH- ions in a solution Has a pH of above 7 Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides are bases
52
Rate of Reaction Definition
How fast a reaction proceeds, does not mean more products are formed in reaction
53
How to Measure Rate of Reaction
Measures disappearance of reactant over time Measures appearance of product over time
54
What is the Collision Theory
For reaction to occur, atoms/ions/molecules must collide with enough energy and correct orientation for reaction to occur - Model known as collision theory - Only some collisions result in reaction Some collisions don’t result in reaction - In these, the molecules bounce apart with no reaction When it does result in reaction; - A weak chemical bond forms between the new molecules -- Substance is unstable, and only exists for short period of time before it breaks apart
55
How to Increase Rate of Reactions By Nature of Reactants
Reactions are faster if there is an ion exchange (Ionic) and there is a formation of salts Reactions are slower if there is a covalent bond formation between molecules, and when there are large molecules being formed
56
How to Increase Rate of Reactions By Surface Area of Particles Reacting
Breaking a piece into smaller pieces provides larger surface area on which reaction can occur Powders have much larger surface areas than large-sized bits of material - Surface area not size of pieces, but total area exposed to possible collusions
57
How to Increase Rate of Reactions By Increasing Concentration of Particles
In dilute solution, particles (molecules/ions) of reactant are spread out in solvent (Eg. Water) - Lots space between reactant particles In concentrated solution, there are more reactant particles in same volume, so they are closer together In solutions with more particles, there are more collisions - Therefore faster reaction rate
58
How to Increase Rate of Reactions by Increasing Temperature of Reactants
Particles in hot substances have more kinetic energy than particles in cold substance - Particles in hot substance travels faster than particles in cold substance Hot particles collide faster & more often than cold particles - Higher amount of collisions + Greater energy = Greater proportion of collisions will result in reaction --Because fast-moving molecules can push through repulsion of electrons that orbit atoms -- Therefore the electrons can orbit around different atom -- Faster the molecules, higher the proportion of reactants with enough energy to turn into products
59
How to Maintain Rate of Reaction
As reaction proceeds, particles of reactants get used up - Fewer particles of reactants = Fewer collisions, therefore reaction rate slows - To maintain reaction rate, products of reaction should be removed & replaced with particles of reactants - To do this, just stir or mix reactants
60
What is a Catalyst
Substance that speeds up chemical reaction, but not used up in the reaction
61
How do Catalysts Work
Provide surface on which reaction can occur Particles of reactants get absorbed (stuck onto) surface, where they react to form products Products then released from surface of catalyst, freeing up catalyst to be used again Other catalysts take part in initial reaction, and are regenerated in final reaction
62
What is the Nucleus
Membrane-enclosed organelle inside cell that contains chromosomes They contain an array of holes/pores
63
What is the Ribosome
Is the site of protein synthesis in the cell Ribosome reads messenger RNA sequence and translates into genetic code
64
What is the Purpose of DNA
Blueprint for controlling the characteristics of organisms Each cell, except red blood cells contain DNA
65
What is the Structure of DNA
Double-Helix shape, like a ladder that has been twisted Two strands of poly-nucleotide chains, attatched together by hydrogen bonds (Relatively weak bonds), between nitrogen bases
66
Two Vital Properties of DNA
Can make copies of itself, it two strands unwind, each strand can make new DNA molecule Can carry information: Order of bases along strand is code for making proteins
67
What is the Structure of a Nucleotide
Nucleotide is complex molecule, made from three smaller molecules: - A nitrogen base - Sugar molecule (Deoxyribose) - Phosphate Molecule
68
What is a Polynucleotide Chain
When nucleotides join together, they form a polynucleic chain called nucleic Acid - DNA is two polynucleotide chains - RNA is one polynucleotide chain
69
How are Nucleotides Joined Together
Nucleotides are joined together by sugar and phosphate groups - Sugar of one nucleotide joins to phosphate of next nucleotide -- Sugar-Phopsphate backbone (Sides of a ladder)
70
What are the 4 Nitrogen Bases
4 Nitrogen Base Pairs: - Adenine - Thymine - Guanine - Cytosine
71
What is the Joining of Nitrogen Bases
Large base pairs always bond with small base pairs - Adenine binds with Thymine - Guanine binds with Cytosine This is because it gives correct amount of space between strands - Base pairs = Complementary bases
72
What is the Controversy of the Double Helix
James Watson and Francis Crick identified DNA as a double helix (Two-stranded spiral) in 1953 - They performed no experiments themselves, they interpreted experiment results from others --One of them was Rosalind Franklin In 1951, Rosalind Franklin started working in John Randall’s labratory in King’s College London - When she was working, Maurice Wilkins (Another scientist working on DNA) was away - Randall gave Franklin responsibility for her part in DNA project When Maurice Wilkins returned, he thought Franklin was a technical assistant - Not surprising, as the situation of women at university was not natural Between 1951-1953, Rosalind Franklin became close to solving DNA structure - Though was beaten to publication by Francis Crick and James Watson - Was mainly because of dispute between Wilkins and Franklin Wilkins showed Watson one of Franklin’s crystallographic images of DNA - When James Watson saw picture, the solution became clear, and results were published in journal - Franklin’s work was only a supporting article, making her contribution not acknowledged at the time
73
What are Chromosomes
X-Shaped objects found in nucleus of most cells - Consists of long strands of substance called DNA Every cell in body (Except red blood cells) have 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosome pairs (Homologous) - 23 from mother, 23 from father
74
What is the Location of Chromosome
Located in nucleus of cell
75
What is the Structure of Chromosome
Normally in X arrangements Made up of DNA molecules tightly wound around proteins
76
What are Bivalent Chromosomes
'X’ shaped chromosome Two stands are identical to each other Formed during DNA replication, so that two identical copies are produced Each strand = Chromatid Two chromatids are joined at Centromere
77
How Does DNA Fit In Cell
DNA fits inside cell because DNA molecules are tightly wound around small proteins called Histones
78
What is a Gene
- Section of DNA that has genetic code for making particular protein = Gene Specific location has specific genetic code for making the protein Humans have 1 billion codons, 3 billion nucleotides Made from Nucleotides
79
How Does Genes Have Different Characteristics/Traits
As Chromosomes are made from DNA tightly wound around small proteins called Histones - The order of nitrogen bases in each gene contains information for one characteristic/trait -- Eg. Gene may have information for making pigment melanin, giving us skin colour -- Eg. Gene may have information for making keratin for hair & nails
80
What Happens When Gene Needs to Make Proteins
When protein needs to be made, DNA in genes unwinds to make complementary base pairs copy called RNA RNA can then leave nucleus through pores to make copy in cell’s cytoplasm (Protein Synthesis)
81
How Many Genes Does DNA Contain
DNA contains two genes (One from mother, one from father), for each characteristic - Eg. Eye colour, Hair colour, etc.
82
What is a Codon
Sequences of 3 bases Used to make proteins
83
What is a Karyotype
Is the complete set of chromosomes of an individual - 46 total Chromosomes - Is arranged from largest to smallest
84
What is Homologous Chromosomes
Pair of matching chomosomes Chomosomes are organised into pairs, according to length & banding patterns
85
How Do Cells Change Into Various Roles
All complex organisms originated from single fertilised egg Every cell in body started here, through cell division number of cells increased Cell then specialise and change into various roles
86
What is Mitosis' Purpose
Mitosis is to create new cells in the body that have been damaged or need to be replaced
87
What is Mitosis
Type of cell division where one parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells - In humans, it means parents cells have 46 chromosomes, daughter cells each have 46 chromosomes Most of the time, cells that are not dividing are in the phase - Interphase - Where they do everyday processes (Eg. Making proteins) Cells only start mitosis when new cells are needed Every different type of cell in body contains same genes, but only some act to make cells specialise
88
Why is Mitosis Required
Esssential for organism to grow/repair damage Body constantly undergoing mitosis & cytokenisis Different types of cells live for different times - But millions of your cells died and replaced as you read sentence
89
What are Somatic Cells
Somatic cells are all cells in body except for egg & sperm (Gamates) - When somatic cells reproduce, they undergo mitosis - Somatic cells are diploid (Carry two sets of genetic material - One from mother, one from father)
90
What is the Purpose of Meiosis
Meiosis is to produce gametes, or sex cells Half of genetic material in each cell comes from mother, other half from father
91
What are Gamate Cells
Sex cell (Egg & Sperm) that has half genetic material of parent cell - Male & Female gamates join to make form first cell of offspring
92
What are Haploid Cells
Only contains 23 chromosomes Sperm cell has 23 chromosomes Egg cell has 23 chromosomes - When they combine at fertilisation, diploid somatic cell is produce - One set of 23 chromosomes come from mother, another set of 23 chromosomes come from father - Is why children are similiar, but not identical, to their parents
93
What is Meiosis
Process of cell division that produces haploid gametes Two haploid gametes (One male, One female) combine to produce the first diploid cell of new organism Type of cell division where number of chromosomes is halved Occurs only when gametes are being made
94
What is Sexual Reproduction
Requires fusion of male & female gamates (Fertilisation) - Each contains genetic information that influences offspring’s characteristics 22 pairs of human chromosomes are matching, but 23rd pair sometimes don’t match - 23rd pair are sex chromosomes, determine whether you are male or female
95
What are 3 Factors That Can Create Variation in Sexual Reproduction
Independent Assortment of Chromosomes Crossing Over to Mix & Match Chromosomes Random Fertilisation
96
What is Independent Assortment of Chromosomes
Different organisations of chromosomes in sperm & egg after meiosis - When cells are haploid, can go mother, father, father or father, father, mother, etc. - 2^ 23 different combinations
97
What is Crossing Over to Mix & Match Chromosomes
Chromosomes overlap - When separating, the tips of the chromosomes get mixed - Creates variation
98
What is Random Fertilisation
Each sperm cell has equal chance of fertilising egg If there was only 1 or 2 sperm cells able to fertilise, there wouldn't be variation - Since all have same chance, there is variation If conditions could change, there could be variation of population, allowing some of them to survive
99
What is Mutation
Heritable change in structure or amount of genetic material - Permanent change in DNA, may be in one gene or number of genes
100
Different Between Chromosomal and Genetic Mutations
If it affects single gene, it is a genetic mutation - Causes alteration of nucleotide sequence of a gene If it affects most of chromosome, it is a chromosomal mutation - Causes structural change of the segment of chromosome
101
What Could a Tiny Change in Base Sequence Cause
Base sequence in DNA is critical - Tiny change in sequence, changes order of amino acids in protein being made, which alters how protein functions
102
What Can Cause Mutation
Radiation Chemicals UV Light Viruses
103
What is a Chromosomal Mutation
Failure of chromosome pair to separate at the centromere in meiosis - Such case, one of daughter cells will have too many chromosomes, other will have too few chromosomes
104
How to Differentiate Between the Different Non-Disjunction Mutations
Down Syndrome - Where person has 3 copies of Chromosome 21 Females With Turner’s Syndrome - Where female has only one X chromosome Males With Kleinfelter’s Syndrome - Where males have 3 X chromosomes
105
What is a Genetic Mutation
A change in DNA
106
Where Does Meiosis Occur
In reproductive organs (Testes in Male, Ovum in Female)
107
Genetically Identical or Not Meiosis and Mitosis
Mitosis - Genetically Identical Meiosis - Genetically Varied (Similiar)
108
Purpose of Karyotypes
Look for unusual changes in chromosomes Check you and/or family for specific chromosome problems
