The periodic table logically arranges and describes all matter
Elements combine in chemical reactions to form compounds • Molecules- 2 or more atoms combined in a specific way • Compounds- different elements in a molecule, in exact, whole-number ratios, joined by a chemical bond • 2 major means of intramolecular chemical bonding: Covalent (incl. polar and nonpolar) and Ionic
Atoms seek complete valence electron shells (the octet rule)
In Ionic bonding, atoms strip valence electrons from partners, forming ions
Atoms are stable when their outer shells are filled with electrons • Shell 1: Holds 2 electrons • Shell 2: Holds 8 • Shell 3: Holds 8 • Hydrogen- 1p, 1e, seeks a second electron in its outermost shell • Carbon seeks 4 • The electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons
Noble gases have a stable electron structure • Their outer orbitals have a full complement of electrons • Noble gases are very unreactive
LE 2-7 In ionic bonding, an atom takes an electron from another atom, forming 2 ions Transfer of electron Na+ Sodium ion Cl- Chloride ion Sodium chloride (NaCl) Na Sodium atom Cl Chlorine atom
5. Ions • Ions- Charged atoms or molecules • Anion- negative ion • Cation- positive ion • Ionization- reaction producing ions • Salt- a neutral compound comprised of ions
LE 2-7a-2 Na+ Sodium ion Cl- Chloride ion Sodium chloride (NaCl)
LE 2-7b Na+ Cl-
Water dissolves many ionic compounds (“like dissolves like”) Individual soluble ions are not physically bound to each other
In covalent bonding, pairs of valence electrons are shared, and molecules are formed

The chemistry of carbon Hydrocarbons are the most basic example Combustible Can form rings Organic Chemistry
The variety of carbon compounds is limitless inorganic - lack carbon atoms organic - with carbon (plus hydrogen) biochemical - organic molecule in life • carbohydrates • proteins • lipids • nucleic acids
Covalent bonds hold together the macromolecules of life • Living things create macromolecular products for structure: • 6CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) + hν C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) • Macromolecules as reactants are broken down for energy: C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6CO2(g)+ 6H2O(l) All the reactions of a living thing are called its metabolism
Electronegativity determines properties of covalently bonded molecules
Electronegativity = “electron greediness” • Atoms in covalently bonded molecules do not always share electrons equally • This creates polar molecules • Polar regions of water molecules interact to form hydrogen bonds • Hydrogen bonds: weak/temporary intermolecular forces
Some electronegativity values • Hydrogen: 2.20 • Oxygen: 3.44 • Carbon: 2.55 • Chlorine: 3.16 • Sodium: 0.93 • Difference between: • H and O: 1.22 • H and C: 0.35
Hydrogen bonding in water determine many of water’s unique properties • H-bonds can form a lattice (ice) • H-bonds require much energy to break • H-bonds give water surface tension Hydrogen bond
Water dissolves many ionic compounds (“like dissolves like”)
0 Intermolecular Hydrogen bonds give water its surface tension
Intermolecular Hydrogen bonds require much heat in order to be broken
Water also forms ions sometimes H2O ↔ H+ + OH- salt - neutral molecule releases ions acid releases hydrogen H+, burns base releases hydroxide OH–, slimy • Spontaneously happens to water molecules • 1/ 107 water molecules are ionized in distilled water • In dH2O, [H+]= [OH-]
pH is a measure of acidity/basicity • pH = -log [H+] (logarithmic scale) • pH 1 6.9: acid • pH 7.114: base • pH 7 neutral • buffers - absorb excess H+ or OH– • - stomach 2, urine 5-7.8, blood 7.4 • Acids donate [H+] to water • Bases remove [H+] from water (or donate [OH-] to water) • Proteins are very sensitive to small changes in pH

The six functional groups that are most important in the chemistry of life: • Hydroxyl group (alcohols)* • Carbonyl group • Carboxyl group (carboxylic acids)* • Amino group* • Sulfhydryl group • Phosphate group* • Methyl group
STRUCTURE LE 4-10aa (may be written HO—) Ethanol, the alcohol present in alcoholic beverages NAME OF COMPOUNDS FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES Is polar as a result of the electronegative oxygen atom drawing electrons toward itself. Alcohols (their specific names usually end in -ol) Attracts water molecules, helping dissolve organic compounds such as sugars (see Figure 5.3).

EXAMPLE STRUCTURE LE 4-10ac Acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES NAME OF COMPOUNDS Has acidic properties because it is a source of hydrogen ions. Carboxylic acids, or organic acids The covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen is so polar that hydrogen ions (H+) tend to dissociate reversibly; for example, Acetic acid Acetate ion In cells, found in the ionic form, which is called a carboxylate group.
