There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium, And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium, Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium. There’s yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium, And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium and barium. There’s holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium And phosphorous and francium and fluorine and terbium And manganese and mercury, molybdinum, magnesium, Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium And lead, praseodymium, platinum, plutonium, Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium, Tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium. There’s sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium And also mendelevium, einsteinium and nobelium And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium And chlorine, cobalt, carbon, copper, Tungsten, tin and sodium. These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard, And there may be many others but they haven’t been discovered.

Trace Elements Needed by some organisms but only in very small amounts
Like iodine, we need only 0.15 mg per day A deficiency will cause a goiter
13
What are trace elements?
Needed in the body in only small amounts Like mg (milligrams) WHY IMPORTANT IF WE DON’T NEED SO MUCH? Minerals act as catalysts (speed up reactions) for many biological reactions

23
HOW TO FIND Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number
24
How many? Protons electrons neutrons Carbon Chlorine
26
Is this a neutral atom? = p = e-
27
Same Number of electrons as protons
WHY? So the atom will be neutral (no excess charge)
28
What is the mass number of…?
Carbon nitrogen hydrogen WHY? Decimal number on periodic table Not other number in succession Number of p + n
29
What is the atomic number of?
Silicon fluorine sodium WHY? Number in succession (not a decimal) Number of protons
30
How do you find the number of…?
Protons electrons neutrons Atomic atomic mass no. Number number minus (if neutral) At. No.
31
YOU NEED TO KNOW The Names (spelled correctly) and the Symbols (written correctly) “Naturally Occurring Elements in the Human Body”
32
Radioisotopes All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioisotopes meaning that these elements have unstable nuclei and are radioactive and some under 83 have isotope forms.
33
Isotope: form of an element with a different number of neutrons
34
What makes atoms radioactive?
Their nuclei are unstable and they break down at a constant rate over time…and they have uneven numbers of protons and neutrons. Radioactive Decay of Uranium
36
Radioactive Particles Given Off
37
Radioactive Decay of Uranium
39
Number of neutrons? Isotopes? Which is the neutral form?
41
Which has more uneven number of protons and neutrons?
42
Positive Uses of Radioisotopes
Iodine-131 treat thyroid cancer Sr 89 treat bone and prostate cancer PET SCAN
44
Technetium-99m has become the most widely used (80%) radioisotope for diagnosing diseased organs (especially brain, heart, and bone)
45
Which are isotopes? 16 20 38 128 12 O F K I C 8 9 19 53 6 WHY? 38 128
O F K I C WHY? F K I different # neutrons
46

63
Note Ions and Formulas Na+ Cl- +1 -1 NaCl 1:1 Mg2+ Cl- +2 -1 MgCl2 1:2
Na+ S Na2S 2:1 Mg2+ S MgS 1:1
64
Which are ions? Cl O-2 Na+1 N2 Why? O-2 Na+1
Charged atoms (lost or gained electrons) show charges as superscripts
65
Which electrons determine…
The chemical properties of the atom? Outermost shell
66
Periodic Table Hint: You can tell how many electrons are in an atom’s outermost shell by just looking at its position on the periodic table!!!!!
67
e- in outer shells 1 2
68
with other atoms? Ones that do not have filled outer electron shells
Which atoms combine… with other atoms? Ones that do not have filled outer electron shells
69
TO HAVE FILLED OUTER ELECTRON SHELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the driving force to make atoms join with other atoms to form compounds? TO HAVE FILLED OUTER ELECTRON SHELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
70
Get a filled outer electron shell?
How does an atom… Get a filled outer electron shell? Gaining, losing, or sharing electrons
71
If one electron is… Lost what charge will the ion have? +1
72
If one electron is gained…
What charge will the ion have? -1
73
If 2 electrons are lost… What charge will the ion have? +2
74
If two electrons are gained…
What charge will the ion have? -2
75
Making Correct Formulas:
Note how the ion charge becomes the subscript of the other ion Na+ Cl NaCl Mg2+ Cl MgCl2 Na+ S Na2S Mg2+ S MgS
76
What do we call the forces that…
Hold atoms together in a molecule? Chemical bonds…not to be confused with James Bond
77
IONIC BOND What makes up ionic bonds? IONS WHY?
Opposite charged ions attract
78
Covalent Bond What makes up covalent bonds?
Atoms that are sharing electrons
79
Comparing Bonds IONIC BOND (gain or lose e-)
