1 Chapter 2 : Chemistry Biology

2 Intro Democritus believed “that all things were made up of the same “pure essential substances” Greek word “atomos” means to cut

3 EVERYTHING is made of atoms Cells, paper, rocks, squirrel, cheese, hair, chair …. How many kinds of atoms? Well there is a limited amount… we organize them on the Periodic Table There are 92 that occur naturally …and 117 as of 10/2006

4 Periodic Table What page in your book ?

5 Back to atoms… How small are they? How can we see them? What are they made of … - 100 million side by side would only be 1cm -Scanning tunneling microscopy - Protons neutrons electrons

6 Atoms Resemble a solar system…. Some people say… Nucleus- center…… Electron Cloud- space outside Inside: Protons, and Neutrons Outside: Electrons – constantly moving in orbits Sizes: P are much bigger than E Where is most of the mass? Inside/outside?

7 3 particles review Negative Charge - outsideElectrons Neutral: No charge InsideNeutrons Positive charge + InsideProtons

8 Charges ++, _________ -- _________ +- _______ Magnets “Opposites Attract’ David Blaine and levitation http://www.metacafe.com/watch /1340/david_blaine_levitate/http://www.metacafe.com/watch /1340/david_blaine_levitate/

9 Other famous people… Russell Simmons: Vegas Joey Fatone : N Sync- NYC Trevor: Blink 182- Vegas Billy Dee Williams: Hoboken Sean Puffy Combs- NYC Tony Soprano - Belleville filming Sopranos - Nutley Queen Margarita Ricki Lake – NYC Gerard Way- My chemical romance

10 Atom/element/compound Atom: Element: only 1 kind of atom… “pure” Compound: red is O, and H is orange Made up of more than 1 kind of atom in definite proportions…

11 Gold: Au Pt: ? Is your jewelry pure gold? Why are platinum rings better than gold? No. Its an “alloy” Gold by itself is actually too soft to wear as jewelry.. Which of these has the most amount of gold 10k, 14k, 24k ? When you scratch gold, its so soft, you are actually leaving it behind. Platinum is a harder metal and more rare, no scratches.

12 Why are certain things of the periodic table so valuable? Elements: can’t make it …. (maybe a well trained scientist) Found in nature- “low supply” FYI….Black gold- “oil”- low supply (not an element) Weather Channel- the elements…

14 According to the Empedocles, a Greek philosopher, scientist and healer who lived in Sicily in the fifth century B.C., all matter is comprised of four "roots" or elements of earth, air, fire and water. He associated these elements with four Greek gods and goddesses - air with Zeus, earth with Hera, fire with Hades, and water with Nestis (believed to be Persephone):
