MOds Flashcards
branch of science which deals with study of the composition and properties of matter and:
-the changes it undergoes
-the energy accompanying those changes
-the laws and principles
CHEMISTRY
study of elements in the periodic table
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
study of carbon containing compounds
organic chemistry
bio means..?
life
examples of organic compounds: NSPO
Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus and Oxygen containing compounds
the study of macromolecules and their metabolic activities in the body
Molecular Biochemistry
2 aspects of Biochemistry
Molecular Anatomy and Physiology
Metabolic activities of biomolecules in the cell.
Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, Utilization, Integration, Metabolic Degradation, Biotransformation, Excretion
a process by which a polar compound (contain + and - ions) is broken apart into its individual ionic components when placed in an aqueous solution.
Dissociation / Ionization
occurs in the presence of water,
Ionization
Substances whose water solutions conduct electricity
Electrolytes
they completely ionized in H2O soln.
Strong Electrolyes
incompletely or partially ionized in H2O soln.
Weak Electrolytes
substances whose water solution do not conduct electricity
Non-Electrolytes
HCL, HNO3, H2SO4`
strong acids
NaOH, KOH, CaOH2
strong bases
acetic acid (CH3OOH)
Weak acid
aniline ammonia
weak base
organic compounds
non-electrolytes
a reaction which goes to completion
Irreversible Reaction
Evidence of Irreversible Reaction
Evolution of Gas
a precipitate is formed
Work is done with the products
