Document Summary

Chapter 2: water and carbon: the chemical basis of life (2/8) (2/10) Inputs of energy led to formation of increasingly complex carbon. Leading explanation for the origin of life. Led to a molecule that could replace itself. Living and nonliving worlds share the same chemical makeup and obey the same physical laws. Big 4 elements needed in your body. Atomic mass: number of protons + neutrons. Formed when unpaired valence electrons are shared by two bonds. Measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons from another atom. Left to right/ bottom to top electronegativity increases. Holds electrons more tightly (partial negative charge) Electronegativity is measured by finding the difference in each element. Weak electrostatic force between one electronegative atom and another. Form when the partial positive charge of the hydrogen atom attracts to the slightly negative charge of an oxygen atom. Can only go 3 days w/o water.
