1.1

Question 1

Organic Compounds: _ _ _ _

• CHON Makes up:__%
• What makes up 4%?
  Trace elements:____

Answer 1

CHON

• 96%
• 4%Ca,P,K,S,Na,Cl, Mg (metals and common elements ig)
• 0.1% of Iodine and Iron (I,Fe)

Question 2

Isotopes

Radioisotopes

Radioactive decay

Radioactive Tracers

Answer 2

• Same # of protons, but diff # of neutrons

Radioisotopes: Unstable isotopes that gives off radiation

Radioactive decay: Measurable rate. Can determine age of fossils and rocks

Radioactive Tracers: radioisotopes that can trace paths of atoms throughout body

Question 3

Polar

Answer 3

• unequal sharing of electrons due to high electronegativity difference
• Partial charges

Ex. O2 and N2 have high e diff

• usually water soluble

Question 4

Non-polar

Answer 4

Ex. C and H

equal distribution of charges

not water soluable (oils and fats)

Question 5

Intermolecular Forces ( between other molecules)

Answer 5

• Strongest type of attraction force
• with NOF
• Crucial for cellular processes
• Individual H bonds are weak, esp when temp. increases, but are strong with a large quantity
• Allows for stability of 3D structures of large molecules (ex. proteins)

ex. H2O

Question 6

Other Van Der waals

Answer 6

• weak attractions
• momentarily attractions
• Large molecules have larger forces of attractions than smaller molecules
• Stabilize shape of large molecules (ex. Fats)

Question 7

Dehydration Reactions

Answer 7

• Joining two molecules by removing water
• One molecule loses H, the other loses OH

(condensation/synthesis rxns)

Question 8

Hydrolysis Reactions

Answer 8

• Separating molecules via addition of H2O
  (decomposition Rxn)

Question 9

Neutralization Rxn

Answer 9

Acid and base –> make salt and water

Question 10

Redox Rxn

Answer 10

• Transfer of energy within cells
• LEO
• GER
