2
Aim: What are the basic concepts that you need to know about chemistry?
3
What are all living things made of? Elements
4
Four Basic Elements of Life… Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) Nitrogen (N)
5
What are molecules? Atoms joined together
6
What are bonds? They are formed when atoms join together. Bonds store energy.
7
How do we release energy? Break the bond
8
What can we learn from a formula? CO 2 The elements in each molecule The number of atoms of each element
9
CO2 How many carbon atoms in 1 molecule of CO 2 ? How many oxygen atoms in 1 molecule of CO 2 ?
10
How do we write water using chemical symbols? H20H20 How many hydrogen atoms in 1 molecule of water? 2 How many oxygen atoms in 1 molecule of water? 1
11
What can we learn from a structural formula? Kinds of atoms Number of atoms Arrangement of atoms Shows the bonds Bonds
12
How do we write a chemical equation? Start Finish Raw materials Products
13
What can we learn from a chemical equation? C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 6H 2 O + 6CO 2 GlucoseOxygenWater Carbon dioxide
14
Which are the raw materials? C6H12O6 + O2 6H2O + 6CO2 C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) O 2 (oxygen)
15
What are the products? C6H12O6 + O2 6H2O + 6CO2 6H 2 O (water) 6CO 2 (carbon dioxide)
16
How many carbon atoms are present in a molecule of glucose? C 6 H 12 O 6 6
17
How many water molecules are produced? 6H 2 O Check the number in front of the formula 6
18
How many glucose molecules are used? C 6 H 12 O 6 If there is no number in front, it is 1. 1
19
Types of molecules OrganicInorganic
20
What do organic molecules have in common? C & H Examples Carbon and hydrogen
21
C O What do inorganic molecules have in common? DOESN’T have BOTH Carbon & Hydrogen!
