Hello, i was wondering if we needed to know the structures of nanotubes and how they were made. Also for other molecular machines? as the syllabus is very vague about this. do we need to know about their reactions conditions?
Hi babo!
I'm studying chemistry too, and here's what I have in my notes about molecular machines and nanotubes if it helps! Just a disclaimer that I'm not certain if this is exactly what we need (like every other 2020 chemistry senior in the state), but I'm fairly confident this will put me in pretty good stead in terms of content
Be able to broadly define:
Designer chemicals
Nanoparticles
How nanoparticles are produced -- top-down approach and bottom-up approach
Stereospecificity
Host-guest systems and broad uses (used to bind to and remove hazardous substances from the environment)
The orientation effect (e.g. Ribosomes and the molecular machine Rotaxane)
By broadly define I really mean just one or two sentences to give you a rough idea. I'm sure there wouldn't be anything to complex on the exam, maybe just a multiple choice question.
Hope this helps!
