MYP Biology: Atomic Structure Unit 3: Life Takes Chemistry
Anything with mass and volume (it “takes up space”) Made up of atoms What is Matter? Anything with mass and volume (it “takes up space”) Made up of atoms The outlines of Silicon atoms as seen through a Scanning-Tunneling Microscope
What is Matter? 4 main states of matter: Solid Liquid Gas Plasma
The States of Matter:
What is an Atom? PROTON (+) NEUTRON (no charge) ELECTRON (-) Atoms are the smallest particle units of MATTER—EVERYTHING is made of atoms Made of three ‘subatomic’ particles: PROTON (+) NEUTRON (no charge) ELECTRON (-)
What is an Atom? The NUCLEUS, or the core of the atom, contains PROTONS and NEUTRONS Electrons orbit the nucleus at different energy levels. This is called the ELECTRON CLOUD
What is an Atom? ELECTRONS Nucleus: PROTONS & NEUTRONS ELECTRON CLOUD
What is an Element? An element is a substance made up of ONE type of atom, EX:
What is an Element? Nearly 100 naturally-occurring elements (plus nearly 20 more synthetic ones) All known elements organized in Periodic Table
10,000,000,000+ cells What is an Element? Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N) make up 96% of the human body: 10,000,000,000+ cells 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000+ atoms
Meet the Elements: Iodine Needed by humans and other higher animals for thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism Today, most salt is “iodized”
Meet the Elements: Neon Chemically ‘inert’ (does not react) Produces red-orange light in ‘neon’ signs—also used in T.V. tubes
Meet the Elements: Carbon A building-block of all organisms—also makes up graphite and diamonds
Meet the Elements: Iron Common metal used in industry Helps red blood cells bind and carry oxygen through body
Meet the Elements: Calcium Most abundant metal in most animals “Builds strong bones” (99% of human Calcium is stored in bones and teeth) and helps blood clotting
What is an Ion? An atom that has lost or gained electrons to take on a positive or negative charge Cl - A Chloride ion Na + A Sodium ion
How do Atoms Combine? Atoms link together by forming chemical BONDS Two main types of bonds: Ionic Bonds Based on the electrical force between oppositely-charged ions Covalent Bonds Electrons are shared between atoms
What is a Molecule? Two or more atoms are joined by COVALENT bonds to form a MOLECULE
CO₂ H₂O SiO₄ NaCl What is a Compound? Compounds are molecules made up of atoms of DIFFERENT elements bonded together SiO₄ H₂O CO₂ NaCl
How are Elements Organized? Periodic Table
There are 3 main types of elements in the Periodic Table:
How are Elements Organized? Atomic Number: Number of Protons Symbol Full Name Avg. Atomic Mass: Number of Protons + Neutrons
How are Elements Organized? Atomic Number tells the number of PROTONS and ELECTRONS in the atom Atomic Mass tells the number of PROTONS plus the amount of NEUTRONS since these are the only two particles with a significant mass.
Elements are arranged in the Periodic Table order of Atomic Number. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
5 6 Now, some Periodic Math! BORON How many protons? How many electrons? How many neutrons? (round atomic mass to nearest whole number—11)? 6 BORON
