F. Test the hypothesis 4 Chemistry of Life 4. How many valence electrons are present in the following atom: 7p+ 7nº 5. Define the following terms: A. Ion Anatom or molecule that has a pos
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
Introduction -
Valence Electrons
outermost electrons - the "s" and "p" electrons in the last energy level
electrons that form bonds
Magic Number EIGHT! Very happy!
most elements either:
~ give electrons (+)
or
~ gain electrons (-)
Valence electrons- the outer most electrons on the Bohr model.
Can participate in a chemical bond.
Nitrogen have 5 valance electron
