1. Biochemistry – the study of the compounds and processes occurring in living things

5. Distribution of Subatomic Particles: Protons – Positive Charge (+) Neutrons – Neutral Charge Electrons – Negative Charge (-) *Both protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom *Electrons are located in energy levels or shells around the nucleus

6. Two Simplified Models of a Helium (He) Atom This model was first proposed by Niels Bohr.

8. Electron Distribution in Energy Levels: First Level: 2 maximum Second Level: 8 maximum Third Level: 18 maximum

9. Electron Configurations of the First 18 Elements

10. Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons Examples: Carbon 13 (7 neutrons), Carbon 14 (8 neutrons)

11. Bond formation and chemical reactions involve the electrons that surround each atom. What types of bonds are weak? van der Waals interactions hydrogen bonds

12. Van der Waals Interactions occur when transiently positive and negative regions of molecules attract each other

14. What types of bonds are strong? Covalent bonds Ionic bonds

15. What sort of covalent bonds are seen here?

16. Electron Transfer and Ionic Bonding

17. A Sodium-Chloride Crystal This compound has 2 or more elements in definite proportions

18. A molecule is the smallest part of a compound. Water is an example of a polar molecule.

19. Polar Covalent Bonds in a Water Molecule

20. Chemical Reaction Between Hydrogen and Oxygen

21. Hydrogen Bonds Oxygen is one of the most electronegative elements In a water molecule electronegative oxygen “hogs” electrons. This “hogging” of electrons results in which type of bond between oxygen and hydrogen within the water molecule? Polar covalent

22. Hydrogen bonds occur between two polar molecules, or between different polar regions of one large macro- molecule. One “relatively” negative region is attracted to a second “relatively” positive region.

24. II. Properties of Water What are the five characteristics of water that emerge due to this hydrogen bonding?

25. A. Water is Cohesive and Adhesive Cohesion Adhesion Why is it that a person who jumps off a bridge into water, dies?

26. Water Transport in Plants

29. Water has a great surface tension!

30. B. Moderation of Temperature Why is it beneficial if water has a high specific heat? Where do we see this characteristic in our lives? Pacific Ocean Boiling water

31. C. Water has a High Heat of Vaporization What does this property of water do? Moderates the Earth’s climate Stabilizes the temperature of aquatic ecosystems, which effects the life that lives there. Allows for evaporative cooling

33. Evaporative Cooling

34. D. Water Expands When It Freezes

35. Important factors that result from water’s expansion as it freezes: Prevents deep bodies of water from freezing from the bottom up. As water freezes it releases heat to water below and insulates it. As water freezes H bonds form releasing heat. As ice melts H bonds break absorbing heat. Both of these factors make seasonal transitions less abrupt!

36. Why ice really does float :

37. The Structure of Ice

38. E. Water is a Versatile Solvent Polar compounds dissolve in water. Nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in water.

39. The pH Scale of Some Aqueous Solutions

40. Review : 1) How many protons are in a Nitrogen atom? How many neutrons? 2) What do the elements in a family have in common? 3) In Chlorine, the number of electrons in each of the shells is: 4) What is meant by a metalloid? 5) What is the atomic mass of Na? 6) What is the only subatomic particle that is involved in a chemical reaction?

41. The type of bond that forms between potassium and fluorine (F) is a/an _________ bond. How many oxygen atoms are required for photosynthesis to take place? How many hydrogen and oxygen atoms are in two molecules of carbonic acid, 2H 2 CO 3 ?

42. What is the difference between an atom and an element? Who invented the first periodic table?

43. A slight attraction or force that results from oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules is called a/an: Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neu- trons. These are called ______ of the element.
