15. Quiz - Lithium Atomic Number = Atomic Weight = 3 7

16. Isotopes

17. Determine how atoms bond to form Compounds Importance of Electrons

18. Atomic Particles Atoms (Elements) Compounds Life, the Universe & Everything

19. Minerals

20. Carbon is found in all organic compounds Organic Compounds

21. Why Carbon? Small and Abundant 4th most abundant element in the Solar System Bonds with a lot of different atoms Forms lots of different organic compounds Forms long chains (polymers) Forms very strong bonds Hard to destroy Bonds “store” a lot of energy

22. Organic Compounds Types of Organic Compounds 1. Lipids - (H,C (hydrocarbons))  Fats and Oils  cell membranes & energy storage 2. Carbohydrates - (C, H, O)  Sugars, Starches and Cellulose  energy storage & structure

23. Organic Compounds Types of Organic Compounds 3.Amino Acids  Proteins - (C, H, O, N, S)  Enzymes - catalysts for chemical reactions  also Hair, silk, fingernails, etc. 4. Nucleic Acids - (C, H, O, N, P)  DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)  RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)  store & transfer genetic information

24. Energy: Types Kinetic Mechanical Electromagnetic Electricity Heat Potential Chemical Sun - Tuesday, April 4, 2006

25. Electromagnetic Spectrum

26. Energy: Quality Low Quality High Quality (disorganized concentrated)

27. Energy: Units Joule (J) = Energy needed to lift 1 kg weight by 0.1 meter (about the energy to lift an apple over your head) calorie (cal) = Energy needed to heat 1 g water by 1°C (Note” Calories (Cal) in food are equal to 1000 calories (cal) 1 calorie = 4.2 joules (1 Calorie = 4200 joules)

28. Power Rate of energy use Watt (Joule/second) 100 W light bulb uses 100 joules of energy each second (200 Calorie candy bar would light bulb for 140 minutes)

29. 3 Fundamental Laws of Nature Conservation of Matter 1st Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation of Energy) 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (Degradation of Energy) “You can’t thrown anything away” “You can’t get something for nothing” “In fact, you can’t even break even”
