Chemistry of Life Matter

Matter Makes up everything Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume) Basic unit of matter is the atom.

Atoms Atoms are the smallest unit of matter made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms have very specific properties that make them the building blocks of everything we know.

Atoms Electrons- are small (1/2000 in mass to a proton and neutron) negatively charged particles found around orbiting the nucleus in the electron cloud. Protons- are positively charges subatomic particles that are located in the nucleus Neutrons- are neutral in charge, subatomic particles found in the nucleus

Atoms, Elements, and Isotopes Atoms of the same type are called elements. Elements are placed together in a collection on periodic table Elements on the periodic table are organized by their properties These SIX are MAJOR elements that make up living things Sulfur (S), Phosphorus (P), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) SPONCH

The World of Elements Different kinds of atoms = elements H C N O Na Mg P S K Ca Different kinds of atoms = elements

Atoms, Elements, and Isotopes Other elements that make up living systems are Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg) and Potassium (K) All elements are given a name and a symbol. The symbol may appear to not match up with its name but that is because the symbol is from its Latin name.

Properties of Atoms The number of protons is equal to the number of electron in a neutral atom Carbon has 6 protons which means it will have 6 electrons If the number of protons change then the identity of the element changes Identify that element 20 Protons 11 electrons 92 electrons 17 protons 26 protons Ca Na Uranium Cl Iron, Fe

Periodic Table Each element has a box of information on the Periodic Table. Atomic number (# or protons) Atomic mass Symbol of the element Name of the element

Elements form Compounds Compounds are substances formed by chemical combination of 2 or more elements in definite proportions. Compounds are represented by chemical formulas CO CO2

Elements form Compounds Compounds always have different properties than the elements that make them up. Table salt is NaCl Na is sodium which is very reactive. Cl is chlorine is a toxic gas. When the two combine they form a compound that can be ingested.

Elements form Compounds by chemical bonds Chemical bonds are interactions between two elements electrons The electrons involved in bonding are called valence electrons TWO TYPES of BONDS: IONIC BONDS COVALENT BONDS

Ionic Bonds Bonds that are formed when 1 or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Ionic bonds form between ions Ions are atoms with a charge

Ions Positively charged ions are the result of an atom losing electrons (e-) A positively charged ion is called a CATION. Negatively charged ions are the result of an atom gaining electrons (e-) A negatively charged ion is called an ANION.

Covalent Bonds Bonds that are formed when two atoms “share” electrons When electrons are shared the compound is called a MOLECULE Water is a molecule H2O

Why do elements bond? Each element wants 8 electrons in its highest energy level. This can only happen when elements bond with each other The 8 electrons are referred to as an OCTET.

Other Forces Van der Waals Forces are forces between molecules (intermolecular forces) These forces link one molecule to another

Intermolecular Forces All elements are not created equal. In covalent bonds some elements have a stronger pull on the electron over the other element. Uneven pull creates area of charge on the molecule Negative Positive

Van Der Waals Forces Named after their discovery Weak attractions between molecules EXAMPLE: Geckos use Van der Waals forces to climb. Van der Waals forces create attractions between the gecko’s foot and the surface on which it is climbing.
