Chemistry and the environment Chemistry is central to environmental science: • Carbon dioxide and climate change • Sulfur dioxide and acid rain • Pesticides and public health • Nitrogen and wastewater treatment • Ozone and its atmospheric depletion

Atoms and elements An element is a fundamental type of chemical substance. Elements are composed of atoms. Each atom has a certain number of: protons (+ charge) electrons (– charge) neutrons (no charge) Figure 4.1

Atoms and elements 92 elements occur in nature, each with its characteristic number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Figure 4.1

Chemical symbols Each element is abbreviated with a chemical symbol: H = hydrogen C = carbon N = nitrogen O = oxygen P = phosphorus Cl = chlorine Fe = iron CHOPKINS CaFe

Isotopes Isotopes are alternate versions of elements, which differ in mass by having a different number of neutrons. Carbon-14 has two extra neutrons beyond normal carbon’s 6. Figure 4.2

Ions Atoms electrically charged, due to gain or loss of electrons Figure 4.3

Molecules, compounds, and bonds Molecules = combinations of two or more atoms Compounds = molecules consisting of multiple elements Atoms are held together by bonds: covalent bond = uncharged atoms sharing electrons (CO2) ionic bond = charged atoms held together by electrical attraction (NaCl)

Water is a unique compound Hydrogen bonds give water properties that make it a vital molecule for life: • Is cohesive • Resists temperature change • Ice insulates • Dissolves many chemicals Figure 4.4

Acidity In an aqueous solution, If H+ concentration is greater than OH– concentration, then solution is acidic. If OH– is greater than H +, then solution is basic.

pH scale pH scale measures acidity and basicity. Pure water = 7 Acids < 7 Bases > 7 Figure 4.6

pH Scale

Organic compounds Consist of carbon atoms and, generally, hydrogen atoms Joined by covalent bonds May include other elements Highly diverse; C can form many elaborate molecules Vitally important to life ethane

Hydrocarbons C and H only; major type of organic compound Mixtures of hydrocarbons make up fossil fuels. Figure 4.7

Macromolecules Large molecules essential for life: • Proteins • Nucleic acids • Carbohydrates • Lipids The first three are polymers, long chains of repeated molecules.

Proteins Consist of chains of amino acids; fold into complex shapes For structure, energy, immune system, hormones, enzymes

Protein Examples

Carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates consist of chains of sugars. For energy, also structural (cellulose, chitin)

Lipids Do not dissolve in water • Fats and oils • Phospholipids • Waxes • Steroids

Triglyceride

Nucleic acids DNA and RNA Encode genetic information and pass it on from generation to generation DNA = double-stranded chain (double helix) RNA = single-stranded chain

Nucleic acids Paired strands of nucleotides make up DNA’s double helix. Figure 4.9

Genes and heredity Genes, functional stretches of DNA, code for the synthesis of proteins. Figure 4.10

Cells Basic unit of organismal organization; compartmentalize macromolecules and organelles Plant cell Animal cell Prokaryotic cell Eukaryotic cell Figure 4.12

Energy and Matter Energy can change the position, physical composition, or temperature of matter What again is matter?

Matter Matter—anything that occupies space and has mass Matter may exist as one of three states: Solid: definite shape and volume Liquid: definite volume; shape of container Gaseous: neither a definite shape nor volume

Matter and Energy Matter may be changed Physically Changes do not alter the basic nature of a substance Chemically Changes alter the chemical composition of a substance

Forms of Energy Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds Electrical energy results from movement of charged particles Mechanical energy is energy directly involved in moving matter Radiant energy travels in waves (light/heat)

Identify examples of potential and kinetic energy in these pictures. Matter and Energy Energy—the ability to do work. Has no mass and does not take up space Kinetic energy: energy is doing work Potential energy: energy is inactive; stored Identify examples of potential and kinetic energy in these pictures.

Potential and kinetic energy Potential energy stored in food is converted to kinetic energy when we exercise.
