Chapter 2 The Chemical Context of Life 1

Ants & the Duroia Trees Ants use formic acid to prevent other plants from growing so that the Duroia trees can serve as their home. 2

Basic Chemistry You Must Know The three subatomic particles and their significance. The types of bonds, how they form, and their relative strengths. 3

Matter vs. Energy Matter Has mass & takes up space Affected by gravity Consists of elements and compounds Energy Moves matter Potential, kinetic Ability to do work Conversions Sound, light, heat 4

Element vs. Compound Element “pure” substance Can’t be broken down by “ordinary” means to another substance Ex. hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) Compound 2 or more different elements combined in a fixed ratio Ex. H 2 O, CO 2 5

Elements of Life 25 elements 96% : O, C, H, N ~ 4% : P, S, Ca, K & trace elements (ex: Fe, I) Hint: Remember CHONPS 6

Atomic Structure Atom = smallest unit of matter that retains properties of an element Subatomic particles: Mass (dalton or AMU) LocationCharge neutron1nucleus0 proton1nucleus+1 electronnegligibleshell 8

Atomic Symbol 4242 He Atomic # (protons/electrons) Atomic Mass # (protons + neutrons) 9

symbol 2 He 4 2 atomic # (never changes) valence e - mass # Protons = Electrons = Neutrons =

Isotopes of an Element # neutrons varies, but same # of protons Radioactive isotopes used as tracers (follow molecules, medical diagnosis) Uncontrolled exposure causes harm 11

Chemical Bonds (in order of strength) 1. Ionic: 2 ions (+/-) bond (givers/takers) Na + Cl - Affected by environment (eg. Water makes the bonds weaker) 12

2. Covalent: sharing of e - Polar: covalent bond between atoms that differ in electronegativity Nonpolar: e - shared equally; eg. O 2 or H 2 13

3. Hydrogen: H of polar covalent molecule bonds to electronegative atom of other polar covalent molecules 14

4. Van der Waals Interactions: slight, fleeting attractions between atoms and molecules close together Weakest bond Eg. gecko toe hairs + wall surface 15

Shape = Function The bond affects the molecule’s shape which, in turn, affects the molecule’s function Molecules with similar shapes can mimic the functions of the molecule it is similar to: morphine, heroin & opiates mimic endorphins (euphoria, relieve pain) 16

Chemical Reactions Reactants  Products Eg. 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O  C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 Some reactions are reversible: Eg. 3H 2 + N 2 2NH 3 Chemical equilibrium: point at which forward and reverse reactions offset one another exactly Reactions still occurring, but no net change in concentrations of reactants/products 17
