2
Matter Has mass & takes up space States of Solid – definite shape & volume Liquid –definite volume, changeable shape Gas – changeable shape & volume
3
Energy Capacity to do work Types of energy Kinetic – motion/action Potential – position; stored energy
4
Forms of Energy Chemical – atomic bonds Electrical – movement of charged particles Mechanical – moving matter Radiant – energy traveling in waves Conversion between forms
5
Composition of Matter Subatomic particles Electrons (e - ) Neutrons Protons Atoms Unique arrangements of subatomic particles Can’t break down chemically Elements Matter of a single type of atom Atomic symbols
6
Properties of Elements Periodic table Elements grouped by properties Unique physical & chemical properties Physical properties –detected by senses Chemical properties –way atoms interact
7
Elemental Composition of the Human Body Major Constituents O ~ 65% C ~ 18.5% H ~ 9.5% N ~ 3.2 % Remaining ~ 3.8% Ca, P, K, S, Na, Cl, Mg, I, Fe Trace elements Zn, Mn, Cu
8
Atomic Structure Nucleus Neutrons no charge mass = 1 atomic mass unit (amu) Protons +1 charge mass = 1 amu Electron orbitals Electrons orbit nucleus in energy levels (orbitals) -1 charge mass = 0.0005 amu
9
Atomic Models Planetary Model Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed, circular orbits Orbital Model Regions around the nucleus in which electrons are most likely to be found
10
Characteristics of Atoms & Elements Atomic number – # protons Atomic mass – # protons + # neutrons Isotope – neutron # can vary different # of neutrons Atomic weight – average mass of all isotopes 11 C, 12 C, 13 C, 14 C or 235 U, 238 U Radioisotopes – atoms that undergo spontaneous decay called radioactivity 131 I, 99m Tc, 60 Co, 14 C, or 235 U
11
Subatomic Configuration of Elements Figure 2.2
12
Isotopes of Elements Figure 2.3
13
Chemically Inert Elements Inert elements have full outer e - orbitals Full = 8 e - (except for He) Figure 2.4a
14
Chemically Reactive Elements Reactive elements have unfilled outer orbitals Figure 2.4b
15
Molecules & Compounds Molecule – ≥ 2 atoms bonded Compound – ≥ 2 different kinds of atoms bonded ALL Compounds Are Molecules BUT All Molecules NOT Compounds
16
Chemical Bonds Chemical bonds formed by e - in outer orbitals (valence shell) The Octet rule Atoms interact to have 8 e - s in valence shells (except H only 2 e - s) lose, gain or share Types of Bonds Ionic – loss or gain e - s Covalent – sharing e - s
17
Ionic Bonds Ions charged atoms Anions - charge = gained e - Cations + charge = lost e - Example: NaCl (sodium chloride)
18
Formation of an Ionic Bond Ionic compounds form a crystal structures
19
Covalent Bonds Sharing e - s fill outer orbitals Single bond each atom donates 1 e -
20
Double & Triple Covalent Bonds Atoms share 2 or 3 e - s
21
Polar & Nonpolar Bonds Polar bonds Unequal e - sharing Atoms w/ 6 -7 valence shell e - s = electronegative Atoms w/ 1-2 valence shell e - s = electropositive Electronegative & electropositive atoms form ionic bonds Nonpolar bonds Equal sharing of e - s Atoms with 3-5 valence electrons form covalent bonds
22
Comparison of Ionic, Polar Covalent, & Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
23
Hydrogen Bonds Very important type of bond for life functions Allows reversible interactions between molecules Due to unequal sharing of H’s electron with N or O Responsible for properties of H 2 O Very important bonds between large macromolecules (ie proteins & nucleic acids)
24
Hydrogen Bonds in H 2 O Figure 2.9
25
Properties of Water High heat capacity – absorbs & releases large amounts of heat before changing temperature High heat of vaporization – changing from a liquid to a gas requires large amounts of heat Polar solvent properties – dissolves ionic substances, forms hydration layers around large charged molecules, & serves as the body’s major transport medium Reactivity – is an important part of hydrolysis & dehydration synthesis reactions
26
Mixtures & Solutions Mixtures – two or more components physically intermixed but not chemically bonded Solutions – homogeneous mixtures of components Solvent – substance present in greatest amount Solute – substance(s) present in smaller amounts Colloids - heterogeneous mixtures whose solutes do not settle out Suspensions - heterogeneous mixtures with visible solutes that settle out
27
Concept of Concentration Concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a given volume A critical concept to master
28
Units of Concentration Percent – parts per hundred PPM – parts per million PPB – parts per billion Molarity – moles per liter Molality – moles particles per kg solvent Mass/volume g/ml (gram per milliliter) mg/ml (milligram per milliliter ) g/ml (microgram per milliliter) Mass/Mass mg/kg body mass g/kg body mass
29
Molecular Weight, Moles & Molarity Molecular weight The mass of a mole of atoms or molecules Has units of g/mole = atomic weight of an atom in grams 1 mole of C = 12 g OR C is 12g/mole Molecule’s molecular weight = sum of the atomic weights of its atoms 1 mole of H 2 O = 1g + 1g + 16g = 18 g MW of H 2 O = 18g/mole
30
Molecular Weight, Moles & Molarity What’s a mole?? The number of molecules in the gram molecular weight of that molecule Always 6.02 x 10 23 This magical number is Avogadro’s Number MW of C = 12 there are 12g C/mole C there are 6.02 x 10 23 C atoms in 12g of C MW of H 2 O = 18 there are 18g H 2 O/mole H 2 O there are 6.02 x 10 23 H 2 O molecules in 18g of H 2 O
31
Molarity – The Standard of Chemical Concentration Terms Molarity = moles of solute per liter (L) of solvent Abbreviated with M A 5M NaCl solution contains 5 moles of NaCl molecules per liter of solution So 1 L of a 5 M NaCl solution contains 3.01 x 10 24 molecules of NaCl
32
Calculating Molarity Chemical formula for glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6 MW = 180 g/mole What is concentration of glucose in a can of coke? 42g of glucose/355ml H 2 O How many moles of glucose? 42g / 180g/mole = 0.233 moles How many liters of coke? 355 ml / 1000ml/L = 0.355 L How many moles/liter? 0.233 moles/0.355 L = 0.656 M
33
Examples using Molarity Ion concentrations in cells & body fluids [Na] = 0.15M outside cells & 0.015M inside cells [K] = 0.005M outside cells & 0.15M inside cells Molar is often converted to millimolar (mM) M = moles/L mM = millimoles/L 0.15M = 150mM Simply multiply M by 1000 to convert M to mM
34
Mass/Volume & Percent Concentration Terms Many molecules in the body are measured in mass/volume Normal glucose = 100mg/dL or 100mg/100ml or 1mg/ml or 1g/L or 0.001g/ml or 0.1g/100ml Cholesterol should be below 200mg/dL or 0.2g/dL or 0.2g/100ml Many substances are described in percentages Percentage is g/100g or g/100ml Blood [glucose] would = 0.1% Blood [cholesterol] would = 0.2%
35
Chemical Reactions Forming or breaking chemical bonds Chemical equations show: Reactants & products & their relative amounts
36
Patterns of Chemical Reactions Combination reactions: Synthesis reactions which always involve bond formation A + B AB Decomposition reactions: Molecules are broken down into smaller molecules AB A + B Exchange reactions: Bonds are both made & broken AB + C AC + B
37
Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions Reactants losing electrons are electron donors & are oxidized Reactants taking up electrons are electron acceptors & become reduced C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O glucose carbon dioxide
38
Energy Flow in Chemical Reactions Exergonic reactions – reactions that release energy Endergonic reactions – reactions whose products contain more potential energy than did its reactants
39
Rates & Reversibility of Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions proceed with measurable rates All reactions are theoretically reversible Equilibrium (dynamic) Forward & reverse reactions proceed at same rate A + B AB
40
Factors Influencing Rate of Chemical Reactions Temperature higher temperatures increase rates Concentration higher [reactant] increases rates Catalysts Molecules that increase reaction rates Enzymes Biological catalysts with high specificities
