WELCOME TO CHM-151 GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1 INSTRUCTOR: KEN COSTELLO
Chemistry is a Vast Subject More than your instructor or yourself can ever learn
3 kinds of elements build a brick Brick becomes building block for a layer of bricks Layer of bricks becomes building block for wall of bricks
CHEMISTRY The power ofbuilding blocks
Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons are the building blocks for elements Nitrogen-7 Hydrogen Carbon-6 Oxygen-8
Organic Building Blocks S P C O N H Hydrocarbons/plastic Carbohydrates & Lipids/plastics Amino acids & proteins More amino acids & proteins Nucleic acids, RNA, & DNA Iron, copper, magnesium
Proteins Hair (keratin) Fingernails (keratin) Skin (collagen) Collagen is made from 3 amino acids that form a helix. These sections spontaneously self-assemble.

Si Si O O O O Si O O Si Si O O O O Oxygen 50% & Silicon 30% Main building blocks of minerals The other common elements in order of abundance are the metals aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
Nylon was discovered in 1935. The name nylon is derived from two cities where it was discovered namely New York (NY) and London (LON).

4 Known Forces • Electromagnetic Force • Electrostatic • Magnetic • Light • Strong Nuclear Force • Weak Nuclear Force • Gravity
Electrons “love” protons • Electrons are strongly attracted to protons. The more protons present the stronger the attraction. +
