Chapters 3 - 4 – The Chemical Context of Life
3
Matter: takes up space and has mass
4
Matter 3 states
5
Elements
6
Iron Carbon Tellurium Elements
7
Atomic structure Atom is the smallest unit of matter (an element) that still retains properties of an element
8
Atomic structure Compound 2 or more elements bonded together
9
Atomic structure Molecule Smallest particle of a substance composed of at least 2 atoms water oxygen a sugar
10
Four elements make up 96% of living matter Atomic structure
11
All matter is composed of atoms Atomic structure
12
Atom are composed of subatomic particles Protons (+) Neutrons (0) Electrons (-) Atomic structure
13
Proton (Positive charge) Neutron (No charge) Electron (Negative charge) Hydrogen 1 Proton 1 Electron Oxygen 8 Protons 8 Neutrons 8 Electrons
14
Atomic structure
15
Atomic number Atomic mass Atomic structure
16
Atomic number = # of protons Atoms with the same atomic number belong to the same element, and thus have the same inherent properties. Atomic structure
17
Nucleus Electrons Cloud of negative charge (2 electrons) Electrons e-
18
Electrons Potential Energy Chemical reactions
19
Hydrogen - 1 Oxygen - 8
20
Electron shell Electron shell is an energy level in which electrons reside 1 st shell: maximum 2 electrons 2 nd shell: maximum 8 electrons 3 rd shell: maximum 8 electrons 4 th & 5 th shells: 18 electrons Atoms are most stable when outer shell is filled
21
Electron shell diagrams
22
Few openings in outer shell Chlorine
23
More openings in outer shell Carbon
24
Neon 10 Ne Argon 18 Ar Helium 2 He Filled outer shell
25
Atoms tend to react in ways that allow them to fill their outer shell –Most elements found in living systems react to gain 8 electrons in their outer shells Octet rule
26
No open slots – very stable Open slots – reactive
27
Electrons Potential Energy Chemical reactions
28
Third energy level (shell) Second energy level (shell) First energy level (shell) Atomic nucleus Energy absorbed Energy lost Electrons and energy
30
Potential energy
31
Potential energy released Energy put to work
32
Electrons and energy
33
Electrons Potential Energy Chemical reactions
34
Chemical Bonds
35
A. Covalent bond B. Ionic bond C. weak chemical bonds Chemical Bonds
36
Hydrogen atoms (2 H) Hydrogen molecule (H 2 ) Covalent Bond
37
Hydrogen
38
Oxygen (O 2 ) Water (H 2 O) Methane (CH 4 ) Covalent Bond
39
Some atoms can form more than one bond. –Hydrogen: one bond –Oxygen: two bonds –Nitrogen: three bonds –Carbon: four bonds Covalent Bonds
40
Polar covalent bonds bond in which electrons are shared unequally.
41
Na + Cl – Ionic Bonds
42
Na Sodium atom (an uncharged atom) Cl Chlorine atom (an uncharged atom)
43
Na + Sodium ion (a cation) Cl – Chlorine ion (an anion) Ions + -
44
Na + Sodium ion (a cation) Cl – Chlorine ion (an anion) Ions + - Ion: A atom carrying a electric charge which is formed either by gaining or losing electrons.
45
Na + Sodium ion (a cation) Cl – Chlorine ion (an anion) Sodium chloride (NaCl) Ionic bond
46
Na Sodium atom (an uncharged atom) Cl Chlorine atom (an uncharged atom) Na + Sodium ion (a cation) Cl – Chlorine ion (an anion) Sodium chloride (NaCl) Ionic bonding
