Atoms
• An atom is the smallest part of an element that displays the property of the element.
• An element and its atom share the same name.
Composed of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, electrons
Central nucleus
• Protons- positively charged
• Neutrons- no charge
Orbiting clouds around nucleus (electron shells)
• Electrons- negatively charged, very low mass-negligible in calculations

Atomic Number and Mass Number
• Each element is represented by one or two letters to give it a unique atomic symbol. H = hydrogen, Na = sodium, C = carbon
• The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in each atom of an element.
• The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in atom’s nucleus. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the mass number.

Periodic Table
10
• Atoms of an element are arranged horizontally by increasing atomic number in rows called periods.
• Atoms of an element arranged in vertical columns are called groups. Atoms within the same group share the same binding
characteristics.
• Atoms shown in the periodic table are electrically neutral. Therefore, the atomic number tells you the number of electrons
as well as the number of protons.

Isotopes
• Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons (and therefore different atomic masses). Some isotopes spontaneously decay
• Radioactive isotopes give off energy in the form of rays and subatomic particles
• Can be helpful or harmful

Electrons and Energy
• Electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, thus it takes energy to hold electrons in place.
• It takes energy to push them away and keep them in their own shell. The more distant the shell, the more energy it takes to hold in place.
• Electrons have energy due to their relative position (potential energy).
• Electrons determine chemical behavior of atoms.
17
The Distribution of Electrons
• The Bohr model is a useful way to visualize electron location. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in energy shells (energy
levels). For atoms with atomic numbers of 20 or less, the following rules
apply:• the first energy shell can hold up to 2 electrons
• each additional shell can hold up to 8 electrons
• each lower shell is filled first before electrons are placed in the next shell
These rules cover most of the biologically significant elements.
18
Valence Electrons
• The outermost energy shell is called the valence shell.
• The valence shell is important because it determines many of an atom’s chemical properties.
• The octet rule states that the outermost shell is most stable when it has eight electrons. Exception: If an atom has only one shell, the outermost valence shell is
complete when it has two electrons. • The number of electrons in an atom’s valence shell determines whether the
atom gives up, accepts, or shares electrons to acquire eight electrons in the outer shell.
– Atoms that have their valence shells filled with electrons tend to be chemically stable.
– Atoms that do not have their valence shells filled with electrons are chemically reactive.

2.2 Compounds and Molecules
• A molecule is two or more elements bonded together. • A compound is a molecule containing at least two different elements
bonded together.
CO2, H2O, C6H12O6, etc.
In Biology – usually used interchangeably (molecule and compound)
• A formula tells you the number of each kind of atom in a molecule.
one molecule
indicates 6 atomsof carbon
indicates 6 atomsof oxygen
indicates 12 atomsof hydrogen
21
Chemical Bonding
• Bonds that exist between atoms in molecules contain energy.
• Bonds between atoms are caused by the interactions between electrons in outermost energy shells.
• The process of bond formation is called a chemical reaction.
22
Types of Bonds
• Covalent bonds• Ionic bonds• Hydrogen bonds
• An ion is an atom that has lost or gained an electron.
• An ionic bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom and the oppositely charged ions are attracted to one.
Example: formation of sodium chloride
• Salts are solid substances that usually separate and exist as individual ions in water.

Types of Bonds: Covalent Bonds• Covalent bonds result when two atoms share electrons so each atom has an octet of electrons in the outer shell.
Note: In the case of hydrogen, the outer energy shell is complete when it contains 2 electrons.
• In a nonpolar covalent bond electrons are shared equally between atoms.
Examples: hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, methane

Types of Bonds: Covalent Bonds
• In a polar covalent bond electrons are shared unequally.
Example: water
• Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. In water, the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen
atoms and the bonds are polar.
OH H
Oxygen is partially negative
Hydrogens are partially positive
30
31
2.3 Chemistry of Water• Water is a polar molecule.
The shape of a water molecule and its polarity make hydrogen bonding possible.
• A hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom.
Can occur between atoms of different molecules or within the same molecule A single hydrogen bond is easily broken while multiple hydrogen bonds are
collectively quite strong. Help to maintain the proper structure and function of complex molecules such as
proteins and DNA

2.3 Chemistry of Water
Mills Biology 2012
2.3 Chemistry of Water
• Properties of water Makes up 60-80% of most living
cells Most abundant compound in living
tissue Makes up about 66% of weight of
an adult human• About 75% of your brain is water!
• Why do we need it? Cohesion, adhesion, surface
tension, heat transfer, solvent, transport, properties of freezing.
34
Properties of Water
• Water molecules cling together because of hydrogen bonding.
This association gives water many of its unique chemical properties.
• Water has a high heat capacity.
The presence of many hydrogen bonds allow water to absorb a large amount of thermal heat without a great change in temperature.
The temperature of water rises and falls slowly.
• Allows organisms to maintain internal temperatures

Properties of Water• Water has a high heat of vaporization.
Hydrogen bonds must be broken to evaporate water.
Bodies of organisms cool when their heat is used to evaporate water.
• Water is a good solvent. Water is a good solvent because of its polarity.
Polar substances dissolve readily in water.
Hydrophilic molecules dissolve in water.
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water.

Water as a Solvent
Cohesion and Adhesion
• Cohesion Sticks to itself Polarity
• Caused by H bonds• Without these bonds water would
boil at -80C (instead of +100) and freeze at –100C (instead of 0C) this would not be compatible with life
• Adhesion Sticks to other substances polarity “add” hesion Capillary action
High surface tension due to hydrogen bonding of water.
39
Water as a Transport Medium
Water evaporates, pulling the watercolumn from the roots to the leaves.
Water molecules cling together andadhere to sides of vessels in stems.
Water enters a plant at root cells.

Properties of Water• Ice is less dense than liquid water.
At temperatures below 4°C, hydrogen bonds between water molecules become more rigid but also more open.
Water expands as it reaches 0°C and freezes. Ice floats on liquid water.
• Acts as an insulator on top of a frozen body of water
Ice floats, I’m glad!

2.4 Acids and Bases
• pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
• When water ionizes or dissociates, it releases an equal number of hydrogen (H+) ions and hydroxide (OH-) ions.
• Acids are substances that dissociate in water, releasing hydrogen ions.
• Bases are substances that either take up hydrogen ions (H+) or release hydroxide ions (OH−).

The pH Scale
• The pH scale is used to indicate the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution. Values range from 0-14
• 0 to <7 = Acidic
• 7 = Neutral
• >7 to 14 = Basic (or alkaline)
• Actually a measure of H ion concentration (negative log of the H ion concentration) (log is the power to which 10 must be raised to get a certain number)
measures grams of ion/liter of solution pH is a shorthand measurement scale wide range 10 fold change for each change in pH
• concentration of 0.1gm H ion/L = pH 1 move decimal to left for each increase of 1 pH
pH of 1 = 10-1
pH of 6 = 10-6

Buffers and pH• A buffer is a chemical or a combination of chemicals that keeps pH
within normal limits.
• Health of organisms requires maintaining the pH of body fluids within narrow limits. Human blood is normally pH 7.4 (slightly basic)
• If blood pH drops below 7.0, acidosis results
• If blood pH rises above 7.8, alkalosis results
• Both are life-threatening situations.
Body has built-in mechanisms to prevent pH changes.
