Chemistry of Life
  1. Intro to Biochemistry
    1. basic structure of atom
      1. atomic number = # protons
        1. also # electrons when overall charge neutral
        2. atomic mass = # protons + neutrons
        3. matter - "stuff"
          1. element - pure substances of earth
            1. ex. C, Al, O, N
            2. atom - single unit of element
              1. ex. H+ is atom
              2. compound - combination of elements
                1. ex. H2O
                2. molecule - 2 or more atoms combined
                  1. ex. O2, FeSCN
                3. bonds
                  1. covalent - share electrons
                    1. polar covalent
                      1. one electronegative element + less electronegative element
                        1. gives more e- element slightly negative charge
                          1. gives less e- element slightly positive charge
                            1. ex. O-H, C-O
                            2. nonpolar covalent
                              1. equal distribution of electrons
                                1. ex. C-C, C-H
                                2. single - one pair e-s
                                  1. double - two pair e-s
                                    1. triple - three pair e-s
                                      1. ex. C-=C
                                      2. ex. O=O
                                      3. ex. H-H
                                  2. reactions
                                    1. endergonic - PEi < PEf
                                      1. PEi > PEf
