Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space…

Made up of….

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter

All Things Are Made of MatterChemistry can be thought of as the study of matter, which is “Anything that is.”

Page 3: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Elements are substances made up of 1 kind of atom

6 different elements make up 97% of the mass of compounds that are found in living things

There are more than 100 known elements today

Elements

AtomsRecall that atoms are comprised of three subatomic particles:

Protons (p+) = atomic number; 1 proton = 1 AMU

Neutrons (n0) = mass number-atomic number

Electrons (e-) = (1/2000 amu)

When # of (e-) = # of (P+) atom is neutral.

When # of (e-) ≠ # of (P+) an ion

When # of (e-) > # of (P+) = anion

When # of (e-) < # of (P+) = cation

Element Information - Review

This (the electron statement) is only true if we are discussing an atom and NOT an ion

Page 7: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Atoms of the same element that differ in their number of neutrons

Isotopes

Useful in biological research if radioisotopes

Can be used to determine age of fossils

Chemical Bonds and Reactions

Page 37: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Why Do Chemical Bonds Form?Atoms are most stable when their outermost energy level is filled with electrons

In order to have a full valence atoms can share or transfer electrons among their nuclei. This results in formation of bonds.

A Bohr Model or electron configuration can be used to determine the number of electrons in the outer shell (valence shell) of any atom

Page 38: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Bohr Models? Electron configuration? How?

Page 39: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Element Information - Review

This (the electron statement) is only true if we are discussing an atom and NOT an ion

Page 40: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update
Page 41: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Types of BondsChemical Bonds Form When Atoms Share or Transfer Electrons

Covalent Bonds form when an electron (or electrons) are shared between atoms

Ionic Bonds forms when an electron (or electrons) is transferred from one atom to another

Type of bond formed is dependent on the relative electronegativities of atoms involved

Page 42: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Ionic BondsDraw a Bohr Model of Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) How does each atom become most stable with a full outer shell of electrons?

The strong attraction between the positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion creates an ionic bond

Page 43: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Ionic CompoundsThese are compounds typically compounds of a metal element

and a nonmetal element.– The metal loses electrons to become a + ion (Cation), and the

nonmetal gains electrons to become a – ion (Anion); the non metal element has a significantly higher electronegativity

– The + and – ions are attracted to each other in a ratio so that the resulting compound is neutral in charge; ionic bonds. NaCl MgF2 are examples.

– The formula unit is the simplest ratio of ions.– These have unique names formed from naming the cation followed

by the anion with an “ide” ending.

Ionic Compounds - NomenclatureSimple Ionic Compounds

Name + then – ions and change ending to “ide.” If a polyatomic ion is present, then name it.

Examples:

NaCl = Sodium Chloride

BaI2 = Barium Iodide

Na3P = Sodium Phosphide

Al2O3 = Aluminum Oxide

AlF3 = Aluminum Fluoride

Mg3N2 = Magnesium Nitride

Page 46: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Polyatomic IonsMulti-atom Ions

Usually are negative

Usually contain oxygen

Names often end in -ite or -ate

Charges and formulas cannot be predicted from Periodic Table

Page 47: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Polyatomic Ions• Nitrate = NO3

-

– One N plus three oxygens; total charge = -1• Carbonate = CO3

-2

– One carbon plus three oxygens; total charge = -2• Sulfate = SO4

-2

– One S plus four oxygens; total charge = -2• Hypochlorite = ClO-

– One Cl plus one oxygen; total charge = -1

Page 48: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Combining Ions

Rules are the same; charges add to zero.

Mg+2 and NO3-1

Mg(NO3)2+2 -1 -1Note: where more than one polyatomic ion occurs, it must be enclosed in parentheses. A subscript always follows the closed parenthesis.

Page 49: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Covalent BondsNon-polar covalent bonds form if the electrons are shared equally

Polar covalent bonds form if the electrons are not shared equally

Page 50: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Valence

The number of chemical bonds an atom can form.

Usually calculated by subtracting the number of valence shell electrons from 8 (or 2 in the case of H and He)

Helps to predict chemical formula

Examples:

HCl H2O NH3 CH4

Page 51: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Electronegativity

The affinity an atom has for electrons

Electronegativity and Bonding Rules

1. Extreme differences in electro- (group 1 or 2 with group 6 or 7) results in ionic bonds.

2. C and H very little difference in electro- results in nonpolar covalent bond.

3. 2 atoms of the same element have no difference in electro- results in nonpolar covalent bond.

4. O or N with C or H, moderate difference in electronegativity. Electrons pulled toward O or N, results in polar covalent bond

Page 52: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update
Page 53: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

A chemical reaction involves the making or breaking of chemical bonds (ionic or covalent)

Chemical reactions are necessary for life:• To establish stable atomic structures• To form new molecules that cells need• To manage cellular energy (energy release, usage, and storage)

Chemical Reactions and Equations

Page 54: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Chemical equations describe a chemical reaction

Chemical equations provide the following information:

The different elements involved in the reaction

The number of atoms involved in the reaction

The reactants and products of the reaction

The Importance of Water

Page 65: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Surface Tension

Page 66: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is called cohesion.

The type of attraction that occurs between unlike molecules is called adhesion.

Surface Tension and Capillary Action

Page 67: A&P basic chemistry, atoms to ions, bonding, molecules v compounds, water and pH update

Temperature Moderation

Water has a better ability to resist temperature change than most other substances

• Oceans and large lakes moderate the temperatures of nearby land areas

• Water also moderates temperature through evaporation, such as when you sweat

When a covalent compound such as water is converted to ions, there are H+ and OH- ions in solution

The presence and abundance of these ions is critical to the functioning of the cell in terms of its biochemistry

The relative abundance of H+ and OH- ions in solution is measured by the….

The functioning of living cells can be affected by a change in pH

Because the very reactions of life cause pH changes, there is a need for cells to be able to regulate the pH of the intracellular fluid

BuffersBiological fluids resist changes to pH because of buffers

Buffers work by accepting H+ from solution when they are in excess and donating H+ when they have been depleted

Most Buffers are weak acids and bases
