Document Summary
At the end of this unit, you should be able to define and/or use the following: units: *tetrahedral geometry of carbon atoms bound to four molecules (bond angles. *chirality of carbon atom attached to 4 different types (d or l isomers) length: micron ( m) = 10-6 m, Angstrom ( ) = 10-10 m: mass: dalton (da) 1 da = 1 g/mole, kilodalton (kd); *find atomic mass on the periodic table. *valence electrons: molecular interactions: types of bonds/interactions. *covalent bonds (polar and non- polar: non-covalent bonds. *hydrogen bonds = h- bond (know which functional groups can be potential h-bond donors or acceptors) When you"re done studying for this unit, you should be able to: predict the product of oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and condensation reactions based on a molecule"s structure that you are asked to memorize or are given. Draw or recognize the structure of glucose, glycerol, and glyceraldehyde.
