  1. Hi,

     

    I came across these questions when I was revising my chemistry studies. If you guys could help me out?

     

    1. It says "......polyatomic ions. These ions, which act as discrete units, are positively or negatively charged combinations of two or more atoms."

    What does 'discrete units' actually mean in this situation?

     

    2. What is the difference between inorganic compounds and organic compounds? Why are they seperated?

     

    3. What is absolute zero?

     

    Thanks

  2. Today my teacher told us things about naming the acids but I get confused.

     

    'Acid - an electrolyte which ionizes in water to give H+ (aq) as the only cation' quote from my notes.

     

    What does ionizes mean in here ? So it is an electrolyte? what's that?

     

    Can you explain to me , please.

     

    cheers

  3. Hi,

     

    Could you tell me what is meant by 'as respiratory substrate to release energy for metabolism' in the function part of Carbohydrates? And what is hydrolysis?

     

    Couldn't figure it out.

     

    thanks

  4. Hi ,

     

    Nice to meet you all. I have a few questions on Chemistry.

    1. What are transition elements? Are they metals or non-metals?

    2. Can elements be ion and molecule? Are there any difference?

    3. What 'element' can form an ionic bond and covalent bond?

    4. What are the differences between conductor and electrolyte, insulate and non-electrolyte?

    5.What is the difference between mass(i.e. a.m.u) and weight(kg)?

     

    Thanks in advance. I really want to know the answers
