Environmental Systems Chapter 2 Environmental Systems

Systems and Matter Matter- anything that occupies space and has mass. Mass- a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. Weight- the force that results from the action of gravity on mass.

Atoms and Molecules Atom- the smallest particle that can contain the chemical properties of an element. Element- a substance composed of atoms that cannot be broken down into smaller, simpler components. Elements can be solid, liquid or gas. Periodic Table- lists all the elements currently known, organized by properties Molecules- particles containing more than one atom.

Atoms and Molecules Compounds- molecules that contain more than one element. Atomic Number- the number of protons in the nucleus of a particular element. Mass Number- the total number of protons and neutrons in an element. Isotopes- atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore different atomic masses.

Far right- nucleus Top- neutrons Bottom-protons Left- electrons

Radioactivity Radioactive decay- the spontaneous release of material from the nucleus of an unstable isotope. Radioactive decay changes the radioactive element into a different element. i.e. Uranium-235 decays to form Thorium-231. Uranium is called the parent and thorium the daughter.

Radioactivity Half-life- the time it takes for one-half of the original radioactive parent atoms to decay. Some elements that undergo radioactive decay emit harmful radiation. Knowledge of the half-life allows scientists to determine the length of time that a radioactive element may be dangerous.

Chemical bonds Covalent bonds- elements that form compounds by sharing electrons. EQ: What is the difference between covalent and ionic bonding? In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms. In an ionic bond, an electron is transferred to another atom.

Chemical bonds Ionic bonds- elements that form compounds by transferring electrons from one element to another. When this transfer happens, one atom becomes electron deficient (positively charged) and one atom becomes electron rich (negatively charged) EQ: What is the difference between covalent and ionic bonding? In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms. In an ionic bond, an electron is transferred to another atom.

Chemical bonds Hydrogen bonds- a weak chemical bond that forms when hydrogen atoms that are covalently bonded to one atom are attracted to another atom on another molecule. Water is known as a polar molecule, one side is more positive and the other side is more negative.

Water Properties Surface tension- the result from the cohesion of water molecules at the surface of a body of water. Capillary action- when adhesion of water molecules to a surface is stronger than cohesion between the molecules.

Water Properties Boiling and freezing- at Earth’s surface, water boils at 100 degrees celsius and freezes at 0 degrees celsius. Water as a solvent- many substances dissolve well in water because their polar molecules bond easily with other polar molecules. What is waters boiling point in Fahrenheit? 212 degrees. What is waters freezing point in Fahrenheit? 32 degrees.

Does frozen water float or sink??? What happens when you pour water into a glass just past the rim, juuuust before it overflows? Float Forms a slight dome

Function in Environment Property of Water Function in Environment Surface Tension Water is transported from plant roots to leaves High boiling and melting points Lakes remain liquid under ice, which allows aquatic organisms to survive the winter. Good Solvent Surface tension: water forms droplets in clouds and falls as rain Capillary action: water is transported from plant roots to leaves High boiling and melting points: liquid water exists on Earth’s surface Expands when freezes: Lakes remain liquid under ice… Good Solvent: water transfers dissolved substances through environmental and biological systems

Properties of water As liquid water cools and , it becomes denser, until it reaches 4C. This is when it reaches maximum density. As it cools to 0C, its molecules realign to a crystal lattice structure and its volume expands. Ice floats on liquid water. SO. What does this property mean for life on Earth? Imagine what would happen if water performed like most other liquids. As it cooled, it would continue to become denser. Its solid form (ice) would sink. As a result, lakes and ponds would freeze from the bottom up. Therefore, aquatic organisms would not be able to survive.

acids, bases, and pH Acid- a substance that contributes hydrogen ions to a solution. Base- a substance that contributes hydroxide ions to a solution. pH- a way to indicate the strength of acids and bases. The pH scales ranges from 0 - 14. A pH value of 7 is neutral A pH above 7 is basic A pH below 7 is acidic We’ll do a lab on pH on Wednesday

pH Lab introduction Answer these questions with your lab: At what pH range can all selected species survive? Is this neutral, acidic, or basic? At what pH range do the fewest species survive? Which species are most sensitive to acidic environments? How do you know? Which species are most tolerant of acidic environments? How can you tell? Do you think pH is an important factor in determining the health of an ecosystem? Why ? 1) 6.0-7.0 Neutral to slightly acidic 2) 4.0-4.5 acidic 3) pH Lab introduction

Chemical reactions and the conservation of matter Chemical reaction- occurs when atoms separate from the molecules they are a part of or recombine with other molecules. Law of conservation of matter- matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form.
