3 Atoms Make Up All Matter Matter is any material that takes up space. Section 2.1 Dog: Photodisc/Getty Images RF

4 Atoms Make Up All Matter The matter that makes up every object consists of one or more elements. Section 2.1 Dog: Photodisc/Getty Images RF

5 Atoms Make Up All Matter An element is a substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means into other substances. Section 2.1 Dog: Photodisc/Getty Images RF

6 Bulk vs. Trace Elements Bulk elements are required in the largest amount and make up the bulk of living cells Bulk elements C, H, O, N, P, Na, Mg, K, Ca Trace elements are required but in smaller amounts Trace elements: Fe, Zn, Cr A person w/out essential elements can become sick or die Ex. No Iodine or low Iron

7 Atoms Make Up All Matter The periodic table lists all of the known elements. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

8 Atoms Make Up All Matter This abbreviated periodic table shows some of the most important elements in life. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

9 Atoms Make Up All Matter In a complete periodic table (like the one in Appendix D), each box contains four pieces of information: Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

10 Atoms Make Up All Matter (1) The element s full name. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

11 Atoms Make Up All Matter (2) The element s one-letter symbol, like those in this abbreviated periodic table. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

12 Atoms Make Up All Matter (3) and (4): The element s atomic number and atomic weight. To understand these, we first need to learn about protons, neutrons, and electrons. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

13 Atoms Make Up All Matter This is an atom, the smallest piece of an element that retains the characteristics of the element. Section 2.1 Figure 2.2

14 Atoms Make Up All Matter An atom is composed of three smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Section 2.1 Figure 2.2

15 Atoms Make Up All Matter Protons and neutrons are close together in the nucleus, which is the center of the atom. Section 2.1 Figure 2.2

16 Atoms Make Up All Matter Electrons surround the nucleus. They are very small and move very fast. How can atom made up mostly empty space still feel solid? Section 2.1 Figure 2.2

17 Atoms Make Up All Matter Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged. Section 2.1 Table 2.1

18 Atoms Make Up All Matter An element s atomic number indicates how many protons are in each atom of that element. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

19 Atoms Make Up All Matter An atom s mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of the atom shown below is 12. Section 2.1 Figure 2.2

20 Atoms Make Up All Matter The number of neutrons may vary among atoms of the same element. An isotope is any of these different forms of an element. Section 2.1 Figure 2.3

21 Atoms Make Up All Matter Each isotope of an element therefore has a different mass number. Carbon isotopes have mass numbers of 12, 13, and 14. Section 2.1 Figure 2.3

22 Atoms Make Up All Matter An element s atomic weight is the average mass of all isotopes of that element. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

23 Atoms Make Up All Matter Carbon s atomic weight is close to 12, even though some carbon isotopes have an atomic mass of 13 and 14. This low atomic weight means that most carbon isotopes have an atomic mass of 12. Section 2.1 Figure 2.1

24 Quick Check Question #1 The atomic mass of nitrogen is very near 14, indicating that most nitrogen atoms have a mass number of 14. How many neutrons does the average nitrogen atom have? A. 0 B. 7 C. 8 D. 14 E. Not enough information to determine. Flower: Doug Sherman/Geofile/RF

25 Quick Check Question #1 The atomic mass of nitrogen is very near 14, indicating that most nitrogen atoms have a mass number of 14. How many neutrons does the average nitrogen atom have? A. 0 B. 7 C. 8 D. 14 E. Not enough information to determine. Flower: Doug Sherman/Geofile/RF

26 Mastering Concepts 1. Which 4 chemical elements are required in the largest amounts? -C,H,O,N 2. What is the location of p +, n 0, and e -, in an atom? - p +, n 0 inside nucleus; e - in orbitals 3. What does the atomic # indicate? - # of - p + 4. What s the relationship btw mass # and atomic weight? -Mass # total weight of - p +, n 0 also can deduce # of n 0 5. What constitutes an isotope? -same # - p +, but varying # of n 0 Newt Brand X Pictures/PunchStock RF

27 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Atoms are organized into molecules O H Molecules are 2 or more chemically joined atoms H H O H Each of these water molecules is a composite of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Section 2.2

28 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Electrons determine bonding. The number and distribution of electrons around an atom determines whether atoms react with one another. Section 2.2 Figure 2.4

29 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Electrons exist in energy shells of various distances from the atom s nucleus. The shell farthest from the nucleus is important for bonding. Section 2.2 Figure 2.4

30 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Within each energy shell, electrons are arranged in pairs. Unpaired electrons form bonds with other atoms. Section 2.2 Figure 2.4

31 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Atoms are most stable when their outer shells have no vacancies. Bonding with other atoms fills the vacancies. Section 2.2 Figure 2.4

32 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms For example, carbon has four vacancies in its outer shell. Hydrogen has one vacancy. Section 2.2 Figure 2.7

33 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms When four hydrogen atoms share their electrons with one carbon atom, all five atoms fill their outer energy shells. Section 2.2 Figure 2.7

34 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The result is a methane molecule. Notice how the outer shells of the atoms overlap to form this molecule. Section 2.2 Figure 2.7

35 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms When atoms share electrons, as in this methane molecule, covalent bonds are formed. Section 2.2 Figure 2.7

36 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Some covalent bonds, called double bonds, share four electrons between atoms. Section 2.2 Figure 2.8

37 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Water forms by a similar process to methane. Water is held together by single covalent bonds. Each bond has two electrons. Section 2.2 Figure 2.7

38 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms In methane, all atoms equally share electrons (nonpolar). In water, the oxygen atom pulls the electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms (polar). Section 2.2

39 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Electronegativity is a measure of an atom s ability to attract electrons. Section 2.2

40 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Look at a periodic table to determine the relative electronegativity of two elements. Section 2.2 Figure 2.5

41 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The carbon and hydrogen atoms that make up methane have similar electronegativities. Neither pulls electrons much more strongly than the other. Section 2.2 Figure 2.5

42 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Methane is therefore held together by nonpolar covalent bonds. Section 2.2 Figure 2.5

43 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The oxygen and hydrogen atoms of a water molecule have very different electronegativities. Oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen. Section 2.2 Figure 2.5

44 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Since electrons spend more time near oxygen, the oxygen atom has a slightly negative charge. The hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge. Section 2.2 Figure 2.9

45 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The charge difference between oxygen and hydrogen in water gives the bonds polarity. A water molecule is held together by polar covalent bonds. Section 2.2 Figure 2.9

46 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The polarity of water molecules results in another bond type, called the hydrogen bond. Section 2.2 Water McGraw-Hill Education/Jacques Cornell Photographer Figure 2.9

47 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom of one water molecule attracts the slight negative charge on the oxygen of an adjacent water molecule. The result is a hydrogen bond. Section 2.2 Water McGraw-Hill Education/Jacques Cornell Photographer Figure 2.10

48 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Hydrogen bonds give water unique properties, and they are important in protein and DNA structure. We will return to these ideas later in the lecture. Section 2.2 Water McGraw-Hill Education/Jacques Cornell Photographer Figure 2.10

49 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Some atoms have such different electronegativities that one atom completely pulls an electron from the other. Section 2.2 Figure 2.5

50 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms The atom that loses an electron is positively charged; the atom that gains an electron is negatively charged. This charge difference attracts the atoms to each other, forming an ionic bond. Section 2.2 Figure 2.6

51 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Notice that even in an ionic bond, both atoms achieve full outer energy shells. Section 2.2 Figure 2.6

52 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms In summary, you can use electronegativity to make predictions about bonding. Section 2.2

53 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Two elements with similar electronegativities will likely form nonpolar covalent bonds. Section 2.2

54 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Two elements with moderately different electronegativities will likely form polar covalent bonds. Section 2.2

55 Chemical Bonds Link Atoms Two elements with very different electronegativities will likely form ionic bonds. Section 2.2

74 Organisms Balance Acids and Bases The ph scale is based on the amount of H + in a solution. Section 2.4 Figure 2.14

75 Organisms Balance Acids and Bases Acidic solutions have a low ph and a high H + concentration. Section 2.4 Figure 2.14

76 Organisms Balance Acids and Bases Basic solutions have a high ph and a low H + concentration. Bases have more OH - ions than H + ions. Section 2.4 Figure 2.14

77 Organisms Balance Acids and Bases If an organism strays too far from its optimal ph, it could die. Buffer solutions help maintain a constant ph by consuming or releasing H +. Section 2.4 Figure 2.14

100 Organic Molecules: Nucleic Acids Dehydration synthesis links two nucleotides. Hydrolysis separates nucleotides. Section 2.5 Figure 2.22

101 Organic Molecules: Lipids Lipids are hydrophobic and energy-rich. This class of organic molecules includes triglycerides (fats) and sterols. Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures RF; Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy RF Section 2.5 Figures 2.24, 2.26

102 Organic Molecules: Lipids Unlike carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, lipids are not built from chains of monomers. Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures RF; Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy RF Figures 2.24, 2.26

103 Organic Molecules: Lipids Dehydration synthesis links three fatty acids to a glycerol molecule, forming a triglyceride. Hydrolysis separates fatty acids from glycerol. Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures RF; Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy RF Figures 2.24, 2.26

104 Organic Molecules: Lipids All carbons of a saturated fatty acid are bonded to four other atoms. Saturated fat Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures (RF); Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy (RF). Figure 2.24

105 Organic Molecules: Lipids An unsaturated fatty acid contains at least one double bond, so at least two carbons are only bonded to three other atoms. Saturated fat Unsaturated fat Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures (RF); Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy (RF) Figure 2.24

106 Organic Molecules: Lipids Double bonds create kinks in the fatty acids that prevent them from packing close together. Unsaturated fats like oils are therefore liquids. Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures (RF); Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy (RF) Figure 2.24

107 Organic Molecules: Lipids Trans fats have double bonds, like unsaturated fats, but remain straight. They therefore are solid at room temperature. Section 2.5 Fried chicken: Burke/Triolo/Brand X Pictures RF; Butter: D. Hurst/Alamy RF Figure 2.25
