Study the structure below and answer the following question. (Structure of Triglyceride)
1. What have you noticed with the structure of triglyceride?
The structure of triglyceride is based on the chemical structure of the fatty acid (Palmitic acid).
These fatty acids are categorized as either saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids are
fatty acids in which each carbon atom in the chain is saturated with hydrogen bonds while
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids in which each carbon atom in the chain is not saturated
with a hydrogen bond.
2. What elements compose the structure?
A triglyceride is composed of an element glycerol molecule and three fatty acids.
In each fatty acid, a carbon atom from the carboxyl group binds to an oxygen atom from each
of the three hydroxyl groups in the glycerol molecule.
Structure of Phospholipid
1. What did you notice with the structure of phospholipid compared to glyceride?
The structure of the phospholipid molecule is composed of a glycerol backbone attached to
two fatty acid tails and a phosphate group heads. While the triglyceride is composed of
element glycerol and three fatty acid groups.
2. Does it have the same components with glyceride?
Yes, a phospholipid has the same component as a triglyceride except that it contains a
phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing compound such as choline. Therefore,
phospholipids are composed of a phosphate group, two alcohols, and one or two fatty acids.
3. Have you notice any differences at all?
Yes, I notice some differences, the structure and element of it.
ACTIVITY: Evolution of an Atom’s Representation
Objectives: Analyze how the model of an atom changed over time;
How the different models help us better understand the concept of the atomic number.
Research about the following models of the atom in order:
a) John Dalton’s model
- Dalton’s model helps us better understand the concept of the atomic number because he
proposed that each chemical element is composed of atoms of a single, unique type, and
though they cannot be altered or destroyed by chemical means, they can combine to form
more complex structures (chemical compounds). The discovery of subatomic particles has
shown that atoms can be divided into smaller parts. However, Dalton’s importance in the
development of modern atomic theory has been recognized by the designation of the atomic
mass unit as a Dalton.
b) J.J Thomson
- The atomic theory of JJ Thomson is not only beneficial for atomic study but also in other fields
including the invention of mass spectrograph. The weight of an atom determines the
characteristic of the atom. Dalton believed that all atoms in the same element must have the
same weights. Every single atom in oxygen is the same as another. He released the concept
of the atom model as the plum pudding. The raisins represent the negative charge electrons
while the dough represents the positive charges or protons of the atom. He proved that atom
consists of electrons and protons also an atom has the neutral characteristic which means that
the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons in one atom.
c) Ernest Rutherford
- Rutherford proposed that an atom is composed of space mostly with electrons orbiting in a set,
predictable paths around fixed, positively charged nucleus. The positive charge in an atom is
not distributed uniformly and it is concentrated in a very small volume. Therefore, the
Rutherford model helps us better understand the concept of the atomic number when the
positively charged particles covered a small volume of an atom in comparison to the total
volume of an atom.
d) Neils Bohr
- Niels Bohr proposed the Bohr Model of the Atom. Bohr Model is a modification of the earlier
Rutherford Model, some people call Bohr's Model the Rutherford-Bohr Model. The modern
model of the atom is based on quantum mechanics. It helps us better understand the concept
of the atomic number because It describes most of the accepted features of atomic theory
without all of the high-level math of the modern version. Unlike earlier models, the Bohr Model
explains the Rydberg formula for the spectral emission lines of atomic hydrogen. The Bohr
Model is a planetary model in which the negatively charged electrons orbit a small, positively
charged nucleus similar to the planets orbiting the. The gravitational force of the solar system
is mathematically akin to the Coulomb (electrical) force between the positively charged nucleus
and the negatively charged electrons.
e) Erwin Schrodinger
- Erwin Schrodinger defined an orbital of an atom as: “The region of space that surrounds a
nucleus in which two electrons may randomly move.” Schrodinger said that all matter acts like
waves, and electrons themselves were wavelike. He said that electrons were constantly
moving and didn’t have one definite or fixed position in the atom. It helps us better understand
the concept of the atomic number because electrons are constantly moving and cannot be
given a definite position within the atom. They are given probable regions and are called
Atomic Orbitals. They orbit the nucleus in the same pattern every time the planets orbit the
sun.
SIMPLE VERSIONS OF THEIR MODELS SHORT DESCRIPTION
Scientists used the model to make predictions and study. Sometimes the results of their experiments were
not accurate and they did not fit with the existing model. Therefore, scientists changed the model frequently
so that it could explain the new evidence.
