Atoms, Molecules and Water Essential Building Blocks for Living Organisms
2
Comparison of Terms Atom Smallest units of matter that can exist separately. Element Chemical substance composed of the same kind of atoms Molecule Two or more atoms joined by chemical bonds
3
Composition of an Atom NucleusNucleus Proton = positively charged particle (+) Proton = positively charged particle (+) Neutron = uncharged particle (n or +) Neutron = uncharged particle (n or +) Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Atomic mass Number of protons = Atomic number C12 6 Electrons = negatively charged particlesElectrons = negatively charged particles Number of electrons = Number of protons Each electron circles the nucleus in an orbit representing a specific energy level.

16
Polar Covalent Bonding Slightly negative Slightly positive
17
Hydrogen Bonds Join Water Molecules O O H H H H + + + – – + + Hydrogen Bonds Water molecules carry slight charges Positive and negative charges attract Hydrogen bonds form between H of one water molecule and O of another
18
Due to Hydrogen Bonding, Water Has Cohesion: water molecules associate with each otherCohesion: water molecules associate with each other Liquid at room temperatureLiquid at room temperature Fills blood vesselsFills blood vessels Flows freely to deliver materials throughout the bodyFlows freely to deliver materials throughout the body
19
Due to Hydrogen Bonding, Water Resists Temperature Change Water has high values for Specific Heat: heat needed to change temperature - keeps body temperature constant - keeps body temperature constant Heat of Vaporization: heat needed to convert liquid to gas - evaporation of sweat uses body heat cooling - evaporation of sweat uses body heat cooling
20
Due to Hydrogen Bonding, Density Decreases Upon Freezing Ice floats!
21
Water As a Solvent Substances that dissolve in water = hydrophilicSubstances that dissolve in water = hydrophilic –Polar –Ionic Substances that are insoluble in water = hydrophobicSubstances that are insoluble in water = hydrophobic –Non-polar
22
NaCl Dissolves in Water Ionic bonds of NaCl give +/- charges Water has partial +/- charges O tends to join with Na + H tends to join with Cl -

The pH Scale Neutral [H + ] = [OH – ] Increasingly Acidic [H + ] > [OH – ] Increasingly Basic [H + ] < [OH – ] 0011223344556677889910101111121213131414 Lemon Juice Lime Juice Stomach Acid Beer Coffee Urine Water Blood Sea Water Baking Soda Bleach Ammonia Oven Cleaner Each 1-unit change in pH represents a tenfold difference in [H + ] and [OH - ]. [H + ] is highest at 0; [OH - ] is highest at 14. From 0 14, [H + ] decreases and [OH - ] increases. From 14 0, [H + ] increases and [OH - ] decreases.
