Amino Acid Comparison
Amino Acid Comparison
Selenocysteine and cysteine differ in their chemical composition. Cysteine contains sulfur (S), while selenocysteine has selenium (Se).
Atomic radius of Selenium vs Sulfur
Atomic radius of Selenium vs Sulfur
Selenium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur. This is because selenium has more electron shells.
Polarity of Cysteine and Selenocysteine
Polarity of Cysteine and Selenocysteine
Selenocysteine is likely more polar. This is because selenium is more electronegative than sulfur, creating a greater electronegativity difference.

Study Notes
Chemistry Exam Notes
- Amino acids are the essential building blocks of life. 20 were originally identified, with cysteine containing sulfur. Selenocysteine, discovered in the 1950s, increased the total to 21.
- Selenocysteine and cysteine are similar in structure but selenocysteine has selenium instead of sulfur.
- Cysteine's sulfur atom and selenocysteine's selenium atom influence their atomic radii, and thus their chemical properties. Selenium's larger atomic radius is due to more electron shells.
- Different compounds have different boiling points based on their intermolecular forces.
- Strong intermolecular forces lead to higher boiling points due to increased energy needed to overcome the attractions between molecules.
- Methane, ethene, and fluoromethane are examples of hydrocarbons.
- Methane contains single bonds, ethene a carbon-carbon double bond, and fluoromethane does not contain a triple bond.
- Each carbon atom in hydrocarbons forms four bonds.
- All of these compounds are nonpolar in nature.
- More massive samples of substances require longer times for temperature changes and phase changes. Larger amounts of heat are required to increase the temperature of a sample with larger mass, which also translates to more time required for the same temperature increase.
- The freezing point of a substance on a cooling curve is the point at which a liquid substance is in the process of changing to a solid.
- The temperature remains constant during the phase change in a cooling curve.
- Filtration separates a solid from a liquid. A solution of solid and liquid substances is put on a filter, keeping the solid out of the liquid (solution).
- Distillation separates liquids with different boiling points. The liquid with the lower boiling point boils first, and then the liquid with the higher boiling point boils.
- Evaporation is a separation technique that separates a liquid from a solid that is dissolved in the liquid. The liquid evaporates, leaving the solid behind.
- The law of conservation of mass states that in any chemical reaction, the total mass of the substances involved remains constant.
- The mass of the materials should remain the same before and after any chemical reaction and/or separation process.
