  1. Symbols

  2. Symbols Atomic Number- No. of protons Atomic Mass – No. of protons and neutrons (electron mass negligible) Chemical symbols found on Periodic table

  3. Definitions • Element- Substance consisting of one type of atom. • Isotope – Atom of an element with different number of neutrons. • Molecule – Smallest unit of substance. Retains chemical & physical properties of substance. Compose of 2 atoms held together by a bond. Atoms may be of same/different elements. • Compound- Substance composed by chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions.

  4. Relationships • Work in groups of 4 and respond to the following questions. • Are N2, H2, and O2 elements or compounds? • Are N2, H2, and O2 atoms or elements? • Is C an atom or element? • Is H20 a molecule or a compound?

  5. Elements of Life

  6. Organic Compounds • Carbohydrates (sugars) : Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen • Lipids (fats): Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Phosphorus • Proteins: Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur • Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA): Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus

  7. Isotopes have a different # of neutrons.Isotopes have the same number of electrons and behave the same way chemically.

  8. Radioisotopes • Valuable research tools. • Unstable nucleus; over time gives off subatomic particles & energy; results in stable nucleus. • Decay of radioisotopes occurs at constant rate called half life. • Use carbon isotopes to date fossils and minerals. • Use other radioisotopes in medical tests.

  9. Isotopes Why is the atomic mass not exactly double the atomic number?

  10. Periodic Table

  11. Bonding • Atoms – held together by chemical bonds. • Two types – Ionic bond and covalent bond. • Ionic bond – one or more electrons transferred from one atom to another. • Covalent bond – electrons shared between atoms. • Van der Waals Forces –Weak attractive force between molecules.

  12. Bonding • Compounds are held together by chemical bonds. • Electrons are involved in chemical bonding. • The outer shell (orbital) of atom is called valence shell. • Electrons in this shell are valence electrons.

  13. Bonding • Atoms with unfilled valence shells are chemically reactive. • Atoms seek to fill valence shell. • Bonding fills valence shell with electrons.

  14. Ionic Bond

  15. Covalent Bond

  16. Bond Strength • Covalent bonds are strongest bond. Takes more energy to break bond. • Ionic bonds are weaker than covalent. • Van der Waals forces are weak attractions. Assignment: Create a graphic organizer. Compare and contrast ionic and covalent bonds. Work with a partner.

  17. Properties of Water • Only substance on Earth found as solid, liquid, and gas. Solid less dense than liquid state. • Polarity • Cohesion • Adhesion • Capillary Action

  18. Polarity Water is polar- uneven distribution of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen bonds- Attraction between + charged H and – charged O. One atom forms multiple H bonds. H bonds give water special properties.

  19. Cohesion • Attraction between molecules of the same substance. • Surface tension – tension at surface of water is related to cohesion

  20. Adhesion • Attraction between molecules of different substances.

  21. Capillary Action Capillary action is responsible for water moving through a plant. Adhesion- water is attracted to roots, stems, and leaves. Cohesion – water column is held together as it rises.

  22. Review • What do the numbers 11 and 23 near the sodium symbol represent? • Use the Bohr model on the right. How many • a. How many valence electrons are available? • b. What is the atomic mass of this element? • c. Is this element an isotope? Why? • What elements are present in a protein? • What type of bond is occurring between the Mg and Cl? • a. Which of the two elements has a higher • electro-negativity? • b. What would happen to this compound in an • aqueous solution? • 5. On the left is a drop of water. Why does • water make drops?

  23. Mixture/Solutions/Suspensions • Mixture: Two or more elements/compounds physically mixed but not chemically mixed. • Solution: Homogeneous mixture in which one substance is dissolved (solute) in another (solvent) usually water. • Suspension: Mixture of water and non dissolved substance.

  24. Solution • NaCl dissolves in water. • NaCl is the solute; water is the solvent. • Water surrounds the Na + and Cl-.

  25. Suspensions • Blood is an example of a suspension. • Red blood cells are suspended in a liquid called plasma.

  26. pH • A molecule of water can form ions • 1 molecule in 550 million will react to form ions. • Water has the same number of H+ and OH-; it is neutral. • Solutions that have a higher concentration of H+ than water are acidic. • Solutions that have a lower concentration of H+ that water are basic (or greater OH -)

  27. pH Scale 7 = Neutral pH Below 7 = acidic pH Above 7 = basic pH Each pH change represents a 10 fold change in the level of H+. EX: pH of 4 has 10x more H+ than pH of 5 EX: pH of 5 has 10x less H+ than pH of 4

  28. Organic Molecules • Are made of carbon. • Can be very small like CO2 to very large like a protein. • Living organisms are made of and use organic molecules.

  29. Carbon • Is tetravalent; can form 4 bonds. • Bonds with many types of elements: H,N,O,P,S • Can form many types of structures.

  30. Macromolecules • Macromolecule – Giant molecule made from smaller molecules. • Polymer- Large molecule consisting of similar or identical molecules linked together. • Monomer – Subunit of polymer. • Polymerization - Process of polymer creation

  31. Polymerization

  32. Figure 5.2 The synthesis and breakdown of polymers

  33. Organic Molecules • Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are polymers (and macromolecules). • Lipids are macromolecules (but not polymers) • All are biomolecules.

  34. Carbohydrates • Made of C, H, O in 1:2:1 ratio; (CH2O) • Used for energy by all organisms, plants & some animals use them for structures. • Monosaccharides- single sugar (monomer) • Glucose is a monosaccharide used for energy.

  35. Carbohydrates • Disaccharides - Two sugars • Table sugar sucrose is a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides glucose and fructose (fruit sugar).

  36. Carbohydrates • Polysaccharides are polymers made of many monosaccharides. • Examples: - Plant starch – used to store energy - Glycogen (animal starch) – used to strore energy. - Cellulose – used by plants for structure. Cellulose

  37. Lipids • Made from C, H mostly. • Used to store energy, for cell membranes, water proof coverings, some hormones. • Three types of lipids - Triglycerides - Phospholipids - Cholesterol

  38. Triglycerides • Made of 2 components - glycerol - fatty acid chains (3) • Used to store energy (2x energy in a polysaccharide)

  39. Saturated vs. Unsaturated • Saturated Lipid- • Single bonds between Cs in carbon skeleton. • Each C single bonded to H. (i.e. saturated with H) • Chain straight / pack tightly /solids at RT. • Unsaturated Lipid – • Some Cs double bonded • Makes kink in chain • Chains can’t pack as tightly/ oils at RT.

  40. Figure 5.11 Examples of saturated and unsaturated fats and fatty acids 

  41. Saturated vs. Unsaturated • Saturated fats - Animal fats - Raise LDL or bad cholesterol levels. • Unsaturated fats -Vegetable fats - either help to raise HDL or good cholesterol levels or decrease LDL levels.

  42. Phospholipids • Phospholipids- glycerol, • 2 fatty acid chains, & phosphate group. • Function – to make up cell membranes.

  43. Cholesterol • Steroids- lipids with 4 fused carbon rings. • Cholesterol is a steroid. • Function- component of animal cell membranes. • Precursor from which other steroids are made including hormones. • High levels contribute to atherosclerosis

  44. Nucleic Acids • Made of C, H, O, N, P • Used to store and transmit genetic information. • Two types: DNA & RNA • Monomer: Nucleotide

  45. Nucleotides • Nucleotides • Nitrogenous base • Pentose (5C) sugar/ Deoxyribose in DNA • Ribose in RNA • -Phosphate group

  46. DNA DNA (polymer) is made by bonding nucleotides together. Phosphate of one nucleotide is bonded to sugar of the next nucleotide.

  47. Proteins • Made of C, H, O, N • Have many functions: - Control chemical reaction rates – Enzymes - Form bones and muscles – Structural - Hemoglobin carries oxygen – Transport - Fight disease - Antibodies

  48. Proteins • Are structurally diverse consistent with their many functions.
