Here is a list of the topics we've studied so far. You can use this list to create study notes around.
1. Basic atomic structure (review from grade 9!)
2. Isotopes and radioisotopes (what is half-life, applications for them?)
3. Electronegativity (calculate delta En, what does this tell us?)
4. Intramolecular forces (ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent bonds)
5. Intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces)
6. Unique properties of water
7. 4 shapes of molecules studied and relationship to polarity
8. Functional groups (significance and examples in macromolecules)
9. The macromolecules (structures, functions, examples)
-Carbohydrates (mono, di, polysaccharides)
-Lipids (triglycerides, sterols, waxes)
-Proteins (amino acids, peptide bonds, 4 levels of organization)
-Nucleic acids (DNA structure, ATP)
10. Study the 3-D molecule lab
11. Energy dynamics (2nd law of thermodynamics, chemical potential energy, free energy, entropy, exergonic vs. endergonic reactions, free energy diagrams)
12. Biologically relevant reactions (condensation, hydrolysis, reduction, oxidation)
13. Enzymes (structures, function, inhibition and control)
