Basic Chemistry • Chapter 2
MATTER & ENERGY • Matter • Anything that occupies space and can be weighed • Chemistry examines the nature of matter • Energy • No mass • Ability to do work • Matter is the substance that is moved by energy
Matter • Building blocks: solid, liquid, gas • Physical change –nature of substance is unchanged • Chemical change –nature of substance is changed
ENERGY • No mass • We measure the effect of energy on matter • Two types: Kinetic and Potential
ENERGY • Forms: • Chemical -stored within bonds, released as heat • Electrical -movement of charged partials (e-) • Mechanical -direct movement of matter • Radiant -electromagnetic waves • Energy is converted from one form to another, any not used is released as heat.
COMPOSITION OF MATTER • Elements • Atoms • Protons (p+) –positive charge • Neutrons(n0) –neutral or no charge • Electrons (e-) –negative charge • Opposites attract! http://www.chemicalelements.com/
ATOMS • Orbital Model –electron cloud • Atomic number –number of protons • Atomic mass –sum of all protons and neutrons • Isotopes –vary in number of neutrons • Radioisotopes –radioactivity, heavy isotopes
CHEMICAL BONDS & REACTIONS • Molecules, Compounds, Reactions, OH MY! • Molecules =same • Compounds =different • Reactions =associations or dissociations of atoms • Bonds form between molecules and compounds • Energy relationships
CHEMICAL BONDS • Bonds are energy relationships • Opposites attract while “like” or same repels • Role of electrons • Occupy fixed regions called electron shells or energy levels • Valence shell electrons participate in bonds
ENERGY LEVELS • Valence Shells (energy levels) • Outer shell • If fewer than 8 electrons will try to: share, gain, lose
CHEMICAL BONDS • Ionic –one atom gains electron and second loses • Covalent –electrons are shared between atoms • Hydrogen –form bridge between two electrically negative atoms
CHEMICAL REACTIONS • Synthesis –larger molecule formed • Decomposition –larger molecule is degraded • Exchange –synthesis and decomposition; switch
BIOCHEMISTRY • Inorganic compounds do not contain carbon atoms • Water, salts (electrolytes), acids and bases • Organic compounds contain carbon atoms • Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
INORGANIC COMPOUNDS • Water –thermoregulatory, universal solvent, reactivity, cushioning, lubrication • Salts –cations other than H+, electrolytes • Acids –H+, proton donors • Bases –OH-, proton acceptors • pH –concentration of acid; [protons] pH 7 =1 x 10-7 pH2 =1 x 10-2 pH12 =1 x 10-12
pH 7 =1 x 10-7=0.0000007 pH6 =1 x 10-6 =0.000006 pH1 =1 x 10-1 =0.1 pH14 =1 x 10-14 =0.000000000000014
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS • Large, complex molecules • Functional groups are reactive parts • Monomers combine to form polymers • Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, ATP
CARBOHYDRATES • “Hydrated Carbon” • Monosaccharides are building blocks • Disaccharides –double sugars • Polysaccharides –branching chains
LIPIDS • More carbon & hydrogen than oxygen • Insoluble in water • Saturated or unsaturated • Triglycerides –fatty acids + glycerol • Phospholipids –contain phosphorus • Steroids –flat with interlocking rings
PROTEINS • Amino acids are building blocks • Amine + acid group + functional group (R) • Most are complex in structure Tertiary Primary Secondary
PROTEINS • Fibrous or Globular • Function depends on shape • Enzymes (end in –ase)
NUCLEIC ACIDS • Building blocks are nucleotides • Code for genes • 5 types: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thyamine, uracil • Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) & Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE • Chemical energy • Adenine base + ribose sugar + 3 phosphates • Phosphate bonds are high energy
