7 An element is composed of atoms (0.1-1 nm in diameter) Atom  cluster of small particles (proton, neutron, electron) Elements & Atoms

8 Subatomic Particles Protons (p + ) Neutrons (n o ) Electrons (e - )

9 Electron Shell Configurations of Atoms proton neutron electron hydrogen atom helium atom carbon atom 1p, 0n, 1e-2p, 2n, 2e- 6p, 6n, 6e-

10 atomic number: number of p; #p = #e- 2 He  2e- and 2p He

11 atomic mass (atomic wt.) : sum of masses of p+n He  2p + 2n, atomic mass = 4 4 2 He He p + n e-

12 p = n = e- = Atomic number = Atomic mass = C Carbon Atom

25 Covalent Bonding: Covalent Bonding: electron sharing O H H

26 C H H H H C H H H H

27 Hydrogen Bonding Between Water Molecules Covalent bond Hydrogen bond

28 Hydrogen Bonding Between Different Molecules

29 Examples of Organic Molecules

30 Properties of Water 1.High heat capacity-absorbs and releases large amounts of heat (land heats faster than water) 2.High heat of vaporization- sweat, cooling mechanism 3.Polarity solvent properties- universal solvent 4.Reactivity- hydrolysis and condensation (dehydration)

31 Polarity of Water Molecules

32 Chemical Reactions A  B reactant  product

33 Chemical Synthesis A + B  AB

34 Chemical Decomposition AB  A + B

35 Chemical Rearrangement AB + CD  AC + BD

36 H 2 O  OH - + H + OO HH H H + Water molecule [H 2 O] Hydroxyl ion [HO - ] Hydrogen ion [H + ] Decomposition of Water

37 Acids HCL  H + + Cl - Proton donor, i.e., they donate H + ions HCl is a strong acid with a pH 1-2

38 Bases Na + + OH -  NaOH NH 3 + H +  NH 4 OH - + H +  H 2 O HCO 3 +H +  H 2 CO 3 Proton acceptor, i.e., they take up H+ ions NaOH is a strong base ~pH 12

39 Neutralization HCl + NaOH  H 2 O + NaCl

40 Buffer- resists dramatic changes in pH; ex. tums, rolaids…buffers stomach acid

41 pH Scale Neutral7 Acidic0-6 Basic (alkaline)8-14 Type of Solution pH Value 0-14

42 Logarithmic scale pH Scale
