The four biological molecules
Carbohydrates, protein, fats and lipid, nucleic acid
Two types of compound
Ionic and covalent compound
How many valence electrons do carbon have
4
There are six elements for the diversity of life
Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element and the same atomic number, but different number of neutrons, and therefore a different mass number
How do you calculate neutron
N=M-P M is for the mass number and p for the proton
Radioisotopes
Isotopes that are unstable and decay overtime
Half life
The required time for a radioactive isotope to reach it half of its mass
Biochemistry
The study that bridges, both biology and chemistry, the studies of properties and activity or interaction between biological important molecule
Molecule
Substances composed of two or more atom bonded together covalently
Organic molecules
Molecules that contain carbon

Strontium 89
Relieve the pain of secondary cancers lodged in the bone
Half-life: 46.7 hours
Indium 111
Study the brain, the colon, and sites of infection
Half-life: 2.8 days
Fluorine 18
Image tumours and localized infections
Half life: 110 minute
What is the relationship between element and atom?
All matter is composed of elements, the smallest particle of the element that retains his properties is atom
Explain explain the difference between carbon 12 and carbon 14
Carbon 12 is a stable carbon atom. It has 12 protons and neutrons carbon 14 has more neutrons than protons so it’s unstable causing it to decay.
Intramolecular force
Bond within the molecule
Intermolecular force
Force of attraction between molecules
Ionic bond
- Metal and nonmetal
- Transfer electrons
Covalent bond
- Between two nonmetals
- share electrons
