also contains other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, or sulfur. The foods you eat provide the organic compounds that your cells are made up of and that they use to function. Organic compounds give the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen (“CHO”) that are needed to make biological macromolecules. Biological macromolecules, are large molecules (also known as polymers). A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains. Monomers are small molecules that may be joined together

of two objects First law of Thermodynamics Energy may be converted from one form to another, but the total must be conceived in any interactions. (Energy is conserved) THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE When get to very small dimensions, e.g. size of atom, very small amounts of momentum, we can never seem to know anything that we wanna know about it. There're pairs of quantity NB: You can violate the first law of thermodynamics for a very very short time, which has to be smaller than the Planck's

Compounds: Some matter around you is uncombined elements (copper, oxygen, sulfur) these 3 elements combine chemically to form a compound when conditions are right. Formulas: Chemical formula tells what elements a compound contains and the exact number of the atoms of each element in a unit of that compound Subscript tells you how many atoms of an element. Symbol has no subscript unit only has 1 element. A unit of H2O contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom Atomic stability: The electric forces

these isotopes. (Ans: 79Br: 51 %, 81Br: 49 %) [Apr 2014] 4. An element has two isotopes, P and Q. The ratio of percentage abundance of P to Q is 0.32. The isotopic mass of P and Q are 36.9695 and 34.9689, respectively. (a) Find the percentage abundance of isotope P and Q. (Ans: P: 24.24%, Q: 75.76%) (b) Determine the average atomic mass of the element. (Ans: 35.45 a.m.u.) [Sep 2012] 5.
