1. What do Biochemists 1. The relationship between structure and function of biomolecules
study? 2. Chemical reactions of organisms
3. Communication within and among organisms
2. Smaller elements are True. Strong bonds form by significant overlap of atoms, such as carbon
favored because they and hydrogen, allowing them to share electrons.
can form stable cova-
lent bonds. T or F
3. What is the bond angle 180 degrees
of a Linear molecule?
4. What is the bond angle 120 degrees
of a Trigonal Planar?
5. What is the bond an- 107.5 degrees
gle of a Trigonal Pyra-
midal?
6. what is the bond angle 109.5 degrees
of Tetrahedral?
7. What is carbon re- The superglue
ferred to in the chem-
ical world?
8. What does organic Focuses on the chemical and physical properties of carbon compounds
chemistry study?
9. What does inorganic The field dealing with metals, minerals, and other non-organic compounds
chemistry study?
10. How many bonds can 4! Due to having 4 valence electrons
a Carbon form?

11. What is a long chain of Polymers
carbons called?
12. What is a cyclic com- Carbons joined together in a closed chain
pound?
13. What are carbon com- Alkanes
pounds called?
14. Condensed structures T
give a better idea of
a molecules structure,
compared to chemical
formula. T or F
15. Structural formula T
gives an even bet-
ter idea of a mole-
cules structure, com-
pared to chemical for-
mula
16. Advantage of cyclic They are more restricted in their movements and orientation - advanta-
carbon compounds geous for building structures and maintaining shape
17. Carbon can form dou- T
ble and triple bonds
with other carbon
atoms or atoms of oth-
er elements. T or F
18. Line-bond Drawing Most efficient method to show structure, but requires the most interpreta-
tion.
