Chapter 2 Study Guide
Chemical Level of Organization
1. Differentiate between matter, work, and energy.
2. List and describes the different states of matter.
3. Define a chemical element and list the elements that make up 96% of body matter and the
most common elements that make up the remaining 4%.
4. Define atom. List the subatomic particles; describe their relative masses, charges, and
location within the atom.
5. Be able to name the first three electron shells and give the maximum number of electrons that
each can hold.
6. If given an element from the periodic table, be able to identify the element by its chemical
symbol, give its atomic number and atomic mass. Be able to use this information to determine
the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for the element.
7. Define neutral atom, isotope, isomer, ion, cation, and anion.
8. Draw planetary models of neutral atoms from elements 1 - 20 on the periodic table.
9. Explain the role of valence electrons and the octet rule in the formation of chemical bonds.
What does it mean if an atom is reactive or inert?
10.Distinguish between a compound and a molecule.
11. Differentiate between mixtures, covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrogen bonds.
12.Compare and contrast polar and non-polar molecules. Give an example of each.
13.Be able to describe the components of a chemical reaction, list the rules of chemical notation,
and define three basic types of chemical reactions.
14.Define endergonic, exergonic, metabolites, inorganic nutrient, and organic nutrients.
15.Explain the importance of water in the human body.
16.Be able to define the following terms: hydrophobic, hydrophilic, adhesion, cohesion, surface
tension, solute, solvent, electrolyte, and hydration sphere.
17.Define acids, bases, and neutrals with respect to H+ and OH- and explain the concept of the pH
scale relative to each.
18.Be able to define the term salts and buffers.
19.Compare and contrast the monomers, polymers, and biological functions for each of the four
organic compounds: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
