KEY CONCEPTAll living things are based on atoms and their interactions.
Section 2-1 Objectives • Explain the connection between living things and atoms of different elements. • Describe how ions are formed. • Define and give examples of covalent bonds.
H O Living things consist of atoms of different elements. • An atom is the smallest basic unit of matter. • An element is one type of atom. • All known elements found on Periodic Table Hydrogen atom (H) Oxygen atom (O)
Oxygen atom (O) outermost energy level: 6 electrons (-) Nucleus:8 protons (+)8 neutrons inner energy level: 2 electrons (-) • An atom has a nucleus and electrons. • The nucleus has protons (+) and neutrons (0). • Electrons (-) are in energy levels outside nucleus. • Play major role in ALL chemical bonds
_ O H H + + • A compound is made of atoms of different elements bonded together. • water (H2O) • Other examples?
A compound is made of atoms of different elements bonded together. • carbon dioxide (CO2)
A compound is made of atoms of different elements bonded together. • many other carbon-based compounds in living things • C6H12O6
gained electron Na loses anelectron to CI ionic bond Sodium atom (Na) Chlorine atom (CI) Sodium ion (Na+) Chloride ion (CI-) Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. • An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons.(atom with a charge) • Positive (+) ions • Negative (-) ions
Form between oppositely charged ions. • Table salt Na+ and Cl-
covalent bonds Oxygen atom (O) Carbon atom (C) Oxygen atom (O) Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) Atoms share pairs of electrons in covalent bonds. • A covalent bond forms when atoms share a pair of electrons. • multiple covalent bonds
