Section 1 – Atoms, Elements & Compounds Everything we see, are and experience
comes from stardust

Atoms
Chemistry is the study of matterAtoms are building blocks of matterAlthough discussion began in the 5th century
B.C., evidence was not in place until the 1800’s for the existence of the “atom”
![Page 4: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Atoms are made up of even smaller particlesNucleus (made up of p+’s and n0’sProtons (+)Neutrons (0)Electrons (-)
○ Move around the nucleusAtom is a result of attraction between
particlesOverall charge on an atom is zero

Elements
Pure substance that cannot be broken down by physical or chemical means
Collected in the periodic tableAtomic massChemical & physical
behavior/characteristicsState92 naturally occurringHorizontal rows called periods & vertical
columns called groups/families

Isotopes When atoms have different # of
neutrons
Isotopes will have the same chemical characteristics
![Page 9: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Radioactive Isotopes
Changing the number of neutrons can affect the stability of the nucleus
Radiation can be given off as a result Ages can be taken by measuring the
rate of decay in these radioactive isotope
![Page 10: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Compounds
Two or more different elements combined i.e. water, sodium chloride, methane Must be in a fixed ratio Are chemically & physically different from
the elements that make them up Cannot be broken down by physical
means Can be separated by chemical means
(i.e. electrolysis
![Page 11: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical Bonds
Force that holds substances together Energy levels & electrons control
bonding Forming chemical bonds stores energy
while breaking them provides energy for life processes
There are two typesCovalentionic
![Page 12: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Covalent Bonds
Share electrons in the outer shell Majority of compounds in a living
organism Called a molecule Can have single, double or triple bonds
![Page 13: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

temperature Helps maintain homeostasis in
organisms Transmits signals
![Page 15: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Van de Waal Forces
Attraction between molecules Dutch physicist named Johannes Depends on the size, shape & ability to
attract electrons Not as strong as covalent or ionic Key role in biological processes This is why water droplets form
![Page 18: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HOMEWORK 6-1

Write a poem about the difference between ionic & covalent. Have at least one line dedicated to Van de Waals forces (no examples from class or text)
![Page 19: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Section 2 – Chemical Reactions
This is why we grow, develop, reproduce & adapt
Reactant & productsChemical reactions (i.e. rust)
○ Creates a new substance (change in color, production of heat or light, formation of new gas, liquid or solid)
![Page 20: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chemical equation○ reactants on the left → products on the right○ “→” meaning yields or reacts to form○ Balanced equations – conservation of mass – use of coefficients
Unbalanced
Balanced
![Page 21: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Energy of Reactions
Most compounds cannot undergoes chemical reactions without energy
Activation energy – the minimum amount of energy that it takes for reactions to occur (high or low)
Example: a candle will not light without a flame
![Page 22: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Energy change in chemical reactionsExothermic – releases energy in the form of
heat (i.e. candle)
Endothermic – it absorbs heat energy (i.e. internal body homeostasis)
![Page 23: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Enzymes
All living functions require numerous chemical reactions
Catalyst – a substance that lowers the activation energy & does NOT get used up in the reaction
![Page 24: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Enzymes or biological catalysts will speed up biological processes, are essential to life & can be reused.i.e. amylase that is found in salivaMost enzymes are specific to one reactionSubstrates (reactants that bind to enzyme)Active site is where the substrates attach
themselves (like puzzle pieces)Once binding occurs, active site changes to
an enzyme-substrate complexpH, temperature & other substances can
affect the enzyme
![Page 25: UNIT 2 – THE CELL](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815ba3550346895dc9a7ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Water’s Polarity Is water covalent or ionic? Unequal distribution of electrons in the water
molecule Polar molecules (i.e. tug o war) Opposites attract (electrostatic attraction) –
in water this is called a hydrogen bond (F,O,N) – Van de Waal force
So what is the formula for water? What is it made of? What is the formula for ice? For water vapor?
