  • What is matter?

    Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It can be seen, smelled, or felt and exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

  • Define energy and its two main forms.

    Energy is the capacity to do work or put matter into motion. It exists as kinetic energy (energy in action) and potential energy (stored energy).

  • What are the four most abundant elements in the human body?

    Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up 96% of the human body mass.

  • What subatomic particles make up an atom and their charges?

    Protons (+1 charge), neutrons (0 charge), and electrons (-1 charge) make up atoms. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus; electrons orbit the nucleus.

  • What is the difference between the planetary and orbital models of the atom?

    The planetary model shows electrons in fixed circular orbits, while the orbital model depicts electrons as clouds in probable regions called orbitals.

  • Define atomic number and mass number.

    Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons.

  • What are isotopes?

    Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers.

  • What is a radioisotope and its significance?

    A radioisotope is an unstable isotope that decomposes, releasing energy (radioactivity). They are used in medicine for diagnosis and treatment.

  • Differentiate between molecules and compounds.

    A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. A compound is a molecule with two or more different kinds of atoms.

  • What are the three types of mixtures?

    Solutions (homogeneous), colloids (heterogeneous with larger particles), and suspensions (heterogeneous with very large particles that settle out).

  • Describe a solution and give an example.

    A solution is a homogeneous mixture with very small solute particles that do not settle out. Example: mineral water.

  • What is a colloid? Provide an example.

    A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture with larger solute particles that scatter light but do not settle. Example: Jell-O.

  • Define suspension and give an example.

    A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture with very large particles that settle out. Example: blood.

  • What is the octet rule in chemical bonding?

    Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to have eight electrons in their valence shell for stability, except hydrogen and helium which aim for two.

  • Describe ionic bonds.

    Ionic bonds form when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating oppositely charged ions that attract each other.

  • What are covalent bonds and their types?

    Covalent bonds form by sharing valence electrons. Types include nonpolar (equal sharing) and polar (unequal sharing) covalent bonds.

  • Explain hydrogen bonds.

    Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge and an electronegative atom of another molecule.

  • What are the three main types of chemical reactions?

    Synthesis (building molecules), decomposition (breaking down molecules), and exchange (both making and breaking bonds).

  • Define exergonic and endergonic reactions.

    Exergonic reactions release energy; endergonic reactions absorb energy. Exergonic reactions have products with less potential energy than reactants.

  • What factors affect the rate of chemical reactions?

    Temperature, concentration of reactants, particle size, and presence of catalysts (enzymes) affect reaction rates.

  • What are the major inorganic compounds essential for life?

    Water, salts, acids, and bases are major inorganic compounds essential for physiological functions.

  • List key properties of water important for life.

    High heat capacity, high heat of vaporization, polar solvent properties, reactivity, and cushioning.

  • What are acids and bases in terms of proton transfer?

    Acids donate protons (H+), and bases accept protons. Bases release hydroxyl ions (OH-) in solution.

  • Explain the pH scale and what it measures.

    The pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic), with 7 being neutral.

  • What is dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis?

    Dehydration synthesis joins monomers by removing water; hydrolysis breaks polymers by adding water.

  • Name the four major classes of organic compounds.

    Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

  • What are monosaccharides and give examples?

    Monosaccharides are simple sugars and monomers of carbohydrates. Examples include glucose, fructose, ribose, and deoxyribose.

  • Describe triglycerides and their functions.

    Triglycerides are fats/oils made of glycerol and three fatty acids. They store energy, provide insulation, and protect organs.

  • What are the four structural levels of proteins?

    Primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (alpha helix or beta sheet), tertiary (3D folding), and quaternary (multiple polypeptides).

  • What is the role of enzymes in chemical reactions?

    Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy and speed up reactions without being consumed.

  • What are nucleic acids and their two major types?

    Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. The two major types are DNA (genetic blueprint) and RNA (protein synthesis).

  • What is ATP and its role in the cell?

    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores and provides immediate energy for cellular work by transferring phosphate groups.
