Biochemistry Exam - Material to be Assessed

Here is the content that will be covered on this exam:

• Atomic Structure
• Protons, Neutrons and Electrons (symbols, location, charge)
• Isotopes
• Periodic Table (avg atomic mass, atomic number)
• Ions
• Cations and their charges (groups 1, 2 and 3 only)
• Anions and their charges (groups 15, 16 and 17)
• Naming Ionic Compounds
• Monatomic Ions (i.e, NaCl)
• Polyatomic Ions (i.e. NaNO3) **can't subscript on blogspot, my apologies)
• Naming Covalent Molecules
• Binary molecules use prefixes (CO vs CO2) ** 
• EM Radiation
• EM Spectrum
• Higher vs Lower Energy
• speed of light  = wavelength x frequency
• Relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy
• Energy of Photons
• E = h x V
• Calculating Energy to compare to EM Spectrum
• Experimental Design
• Hypothesis 
• Representing Data
• Using Data to Draw Conclusions
• Constants vs. Variables vs. Controls
• Precision vs. Accuracy
• Precision in the equipment
• Precision in the form of repeatable data/results
• Accuracy comparing you results to known, accepted values
• Significant figures
• Number of Sigfigs in a given measurement
• Sigfig rules for zeroes
• Rounding to correct sigfigs during calculations
