Question 12 of 12
5.0/ 5.0 Points
Explain why wet hair placed in curlers that is allowed to dry tends to retain the shape of the curl.

Hair is made up of keratin proteins, natural oils, and hydrogen bonds. These ingredients work together to give hair its natural shape, color, etc.


When we use a curling iron, the heat it produces breaks down hair’s hydrogen bonds, stripping away its natural oils and proteins. The heat changes hair’s texture, allowing to mold it to shape the curler have. The shape of a curler helps to mold hair into the shape of curler.


As we hold hair in a particular shape for a few seconds, the bonds begin to reform into the new shape. The bonds will tend to hold hair in its new shape until they’re broken down again.

Question 12 of 12
0.0/ 5.0 Points
Explain the terms "organic" and "inorganic" in respect to their usage in classifying compounds.   Historically, what was the difference between organic and inorganic?  How has that changed today in terms of compounds?  Include the terminology and content from this lesson and give examples as necessary.



By the end of the eighteenth century, chemists had divided compounds into two broad categories as organic and inorganic.


Organic compounds came from living things.Sugar—obtained from sugarcane or the sugar beet—is an example of an organic compound.


Inorganic compounds came from Earth. Salt—mined from the ground or extracted from the ocean—is an example of an inorganic compound.


Early chemists realized that organic and inorganic compounds are different in their properties.


Organic compounds are easily decomposable. Sugar easily decomposes into carbon and water when heated.


Inorganic compounds are more difficult to decompose. Salt must be heated to very high temperatures before it decomposes. 


Organic compounds are difficult to synthesize in the laboratory.  Many inorganic compounds could be easily synthesized, but organic compounds could not.


The origin and properties of organic compounds led early chemists to postulate that organic compounds are unique to living organisms. They postulated that living organisms employed a vital force—a mystical or supernatural power—that allowed them to produce organic compounds. They thought it impossible to produce an organic compound outside of a living organism because the vital force is not present. This belief—which became known as vitalism—was thought to explain why no chemist had succeeded in synthesizing an organic compound in the laboratory.
