    • Chemical Reactions -a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the produces.
    • Substances are either chemical elements or compounds
    • A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products atoms are never created or destroyed
    • the father of modern chemistry is Lavoisier
    • first law of thermodynamics or the law of conservation of energy
    • the reactant should have the same mass of matter as the products
    • chemical equations should be balanced
    • show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions
    • mass is neither created nor destroyed
    • Coefficient- indicate the number of moles.
    • Coefficient - changed in order to balance the equation
    • Stoichiometry - calculating the amounts of reactant used or products formed in a chemical reaction
    • Subscript - indicate the number of atoms cannot be changed when balancing equation
    • ratios between between the moles of any two substances in a balanced
    • Make sure that the equation is balanced before getting the molar ratios
    • Percent Yield - One way of expressing the efficiency of a chemical reaction.
    • Percent Yield - the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield expressed as percent
    • Percent yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield × 100
    • Di (two)
    • two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction
    • The hydroxyl group of a monosaccharide combines with the hydrogen of another monosaccharide, releasing a molecule of water and forming a covalent bond.
    • poly (many)
    • a long chain monosaccharides linked by alycosidic bonds
    • The chain may be branched or unbranched, and it may contain different types of monosaccharides
    • fats, oils and waxes, which may be saturated or unsaturated can be unhealthy but also serve important functions for plants and animal
    • Fats - saturated acids components predominate and are solids as room temperature
    • Oils - unsaturated fatty acids predominate and are liquids at room temper
    • Waxes - they are malleable in normal condition
      have only a single long-chain fatty acid, attached to a long chain alcohol group
    • Triglycerides - most common types of lioids
      a fat molecule with glycerol and fatty acids
    • Biomolecules - are carbon-containing compounds that are of biological importance because they make up and carry chemical reactions needed by the living organism where they are found.
    • Biological Macromolecule - large, organic molecule such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
