This unit test was written to accompany my Biochemistry Bundle, but can be successfully used with any chapter on organic compounds from a traditional high school biology textbook.

The topics covered include the following:

• The Nature of Matter: Atoms, subatomic particles, mass and charges of the subatomic particles.
• Elements: Definitions, isotopes, radioactive isotopes, practical uses of radioactive isotopes, the nature of compounds.
• Chemical Bonds: Definitions and examples of ionic and covalent bonds, polar molecules, polar covalent bonds, nonpolar covalent bonds.
• Properties of Water: The polarity of water molecules, hydrogen bonding, hydrogen bonds in ice, liquid water, and water vapor, cohesion and adhesion.
• Mixtures, Solutions, and Suspensions: Definitions, homogeneous and heterogenous solutions, solute, solvent.
• Reasons why water makes life possible.
