  2. LESSON # 3(Chapter 2) Chemistry’s Building Block: The Atom

  3. Life is carried on through chains of chemical reactions Cells are living things that can respond to their environment. They can move, they can reproduce, and so on. But How a cell decides to move? How a cell decides to reproduce? Cells do what they do as the result of a chain of chemical reactions. In other words, people, plants and animals function at cellular level due to CHEMISTRY

  4. WHAT IS CHEMISTRY? WHAT IS MATTER? Matter is made of ATOMS Chemistry is the branch of the Science that concerns withmatter and its transformations. MATTER: Is the substance of which physical objects are composed. Matter can be defined as anything that takes up space and has mass. Therefore, mass is a measure of quantity of matter in a given object. Every thing that exists falls into one of two categories: Matter or Energy

  5. Subatomic particles ATOM (from Greek “atomos” meaning indivisible) is the smallest particle still characterizing a chemical element. Though “atom” means indivisible, actually atoms are not indivisible. Rather they are composed of constituents parts: 1- Protons 2- Electrons 3- Neutrons

  6. Protons and neutrons are packed tightly together in a core, the atom’s nucleus Electrons move around this core some distance away

  7. The subatomic particles have mass and electric charge 1- Mass: The mass of the atom resides within the nucleus ( protons and neutrons ). Electrons are negligible with regard to mass 2- Electric Charges: Protons: Positively charged Electrons: Negatively charged Neutrons: Have no charge, but are electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom ( + charges ) is exactly equal to the number of electrons ( - charges ) . Therefore, the atom is electrically neutral.

  8. 1- THE NATURE OF MATTER IS DEFINED BY THE NUCLEUS: PROTONS AND NEUTRONS 2- THE WAY THAT ELEMENTS COMBINE WITH OTHER ELEMENTS DEPENDS ON ELECTRONS

  9. Nucleus 1- THE NATURE OF MATTER IS DEFINED BY THE NUCLEUS: PROTONS AND NEUTRONS The number of protons in the nucleusis referred as the ATOMIC NUMBERand defines each element. That is to say, each element has one and only one atomic number. The atomic number of gold is 79, meaning each atom of gold has ____ protons in its nucleus. 79 The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, meaning each hydrogen atom has ___ proton in its nucleus. 1 The atomic number of carbon is 6, meaning each carbon atom has ___ protons. 6

  10. Nucleus Generally, in the nucleus the number of protons is equal to the number of neutrons. CARBON Atomic number 6, meaning 6 protons in the nucleus. In the most common form, Carbon has ____ neutrons. 6 LEAD Atomic number 82, meaning 82 protons in the nucleus. In the most common form, Lead has ____ neutrons 82 Exception: Hydrogen Atomic number 1, meaning only one proton in the nucleus. The most common form of hydrogen has ___ neutrons. 0

  11. Nucleus When this occurs, the element is still the same element, but now it is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons in one atom is called MASS NUMBER MASS NUMBER = protons + neutrons Ex: Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, therefore the mass number of carbon is _____ 12 Though usually the number of protons in the nucleus of one specific element is equal to the number of neutrons, in some cases the number of neutrons can be different to the number of protons

Carbon 12: 6 protons + 6 neutrons However a relative small amount of carbon exists in a form that has 8 neutrons. The element is still carbon because still has 6 protons (remember that the atomic number define the element). Carbon 14: 6 protons + 8 neutrons ISOTOPE

Therefore, isotopes have a different mass number.

  14. Nucleus I s o t o p e s o f H y d r o g e n Most common form In most elements, the most common form is that one with the same number of protons and neutrons (ex: carbon 12 is much more abundant than carbon 14). Hydrogen is an exception: the moist abundant is the Hydrogen that has one proton and no neutrons.

  15. Nucleus Imaging the Body with Isotopes The radioactive isotopes technetium 99 was used in a nuclear medicine scan to provide these images of skeletal portions of the human body. ISOTOPES are unstable. Unstable atoms are radioactive: their nuclei change or decay by spitting out radiation, in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves, which can be measured by special procedures. Nuclear Medicine is based in that principle.

  16. Nucleus Positron Emission Tomography (PET scanning) to spot a Brain Tumor The radiation emitted by radioactive isotopes kills cancer cells, therefore they are used in the treatment of cancer.

First level: 2 electrons Second level: 8 electrons Third level: 8 electrons Argon has atomic number 18 18 18 18 Argon is a stable element because its outermost electron shell is filled

  20. Atoms with the outermost electron shell unfilled are unstableand reactive. Atoms with the outermost electron shell filled are stable and unreactive. Electrons

  21. Electrons Atoms attach to one another because they are seeking to fill their outer level or shell Atoms can fill their last level in two ways: 1- By sharing one or more electrons with another atom COVALENT BONDING 2- By losing or gaining one electron IONIC BONDING
