Key Concepts

Elements of Life

  • Definition: Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

  • Essential Elements: Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen are essential for life.

  • Trace Elements: Include iron, iodine, and copper, which are required in small amounts.

Structure of Atoms

  • Attractive Forces: Atoms are the prime building blocks of matter.

  • Subatomic Particles:

    • Protons: Positive charge (+)

    • Neutrons: No charge

    • Electrons: Negative charge (-)

  • Isotopes: Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Chemical Bonds

  • Definition: Compounds consist of two or more elements tied together by chemical bonds.

  • Types of Bonds:

    • Ionic Bonds: Formed when electrons are transferred, resulting in charged ions.

    • Covalent Bonds: Formed when electrons are shared; can be polar or non-polar based on electron sharing.

Properties of Water

  • Hydrogen Bonds: Weak attractions between molecules influenced by the electrical polarity of water molecules.

    • Cohesion: Water molecules stick together, contributing to surface tension.

    • Adhesion: Water molecules adhere to other substances.

  • Capillary Action: Combination of cohesion and adhesion that assists water movement in plant systems.

  • Surface Tension: The strong cohesive forces allow some objects to float on the surface of water.

Conclusion

  • Understanding the structure of atoms, chemical bonds, and properties of water is fundamental in the study of biological systems.
