8. I. Basics of Chemistry D. Molecules and Energy
1. Energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. Energy is required to ______________ bonds.
2. The amount of energy varies with the type of bond. Some bonds (hydrogen) are easily broken while others (triple covalent) are very hard.
9. II. Water Chemistry A. ________ is the most abundant chemical in the body.
B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
1. _____water is a very small molecule, so it moves fast and can squeeze into tiny crevasses between other molecules.
10. II. Water Chemistry B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
2. _________--Hydrogen has a slightly positive charge while oxygen has a slightly negative charge. This makes it easy for water to pry apart other charged molecules, dissolving them. Called a __________________.
11. II. Water Chemistry B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
3. _______________--Due to polarity, water forms a crystal structure that is less dense than liquid water.
12. II. Water Chemistry B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
4. _____________--water absorbs and releases heat energy slowly, and can hold a great deal of heat energy. This helps organisms maintain their body temperature in the safe range.
13. II. Water Chemistry B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
5. __________________--Polarity allows water to stick to itself (cohesion) and to any charged material (adhesion). Water can glue materials together.
14. II. Water Chemistry B. Water has many characteristics that make it vital to our bodies.
6. _______--Water can act as either an acid or a base, maintaining a stable pH in our bodies.
