chapter 2. Matter—anything that has mass and takes up space. Elements—basic building blocks of matter; cannot be broken down by chemical means. •Over 90% of the human body is made up of only four elements: carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H). Atoms Atom—smallest unit of an element that retains its physical and chemical properties. •Atoms bond together to form molecules. •Parts of an atom (called subatomic particles): •Neutrons—neutral (uncharged). •Protons—positively charged. •Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. •Electrons—negatively charged; orbit around the nucleus in electron shells. Loading… ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› The Atomic Structure of Select Elements (Figure 2.2) Access the text alternative for these images ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› The Periodic Table Atomic number—the number of protons. •Differs for every element. Mass number—sum of the number of protons and neutrons. •Protons and neutrons each have a mass equal to one atomic mass unit (AMU). •Electrons have a negligible mass. Atomic mass—the average AMU for all isotopes of that atom. Loading… ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Isotopes Isotopes—atoms of the same element (with the same atomic number) but a different number of neutrons. •They differ in their atomic mass. Radioisotopes—unstable isotopes; they emit energy called radiation. •Radiation can damage cells and cause cancer. •Useful for imaging the body, killing bacteria in food, sterilizing equipment and killing cancer cells. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Molecules and Compounds Molecules—atoms bonded together. •Can be made of the same atom or different atoms. •That is, O2, H2O. Compounds—molecules made of different atoms. •That is, H2O (not O2). Two types of bonds join atoms: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Ionic Bonding Atoms are most stable when their outer electron shell, the valence shell, is full. During an ionic reaction, atoms donate or take on electrons to fill their valence shell. •This results in the formation of positive or negative ions (charged particles). Ionic bond—the attraction between a positive and negative ion. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Covalent Bonding Covalent bonds—atoms share electrons to fill their valence shells. •Each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair. •The electrons spend time in the valence shells of both atoms. •Double covalent bonds share two pairs of electrons; triple covalent bonds share three pairs. •Depicted by one, two, or three straight lines. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Water and Life 2 Water is the most abundant molecule in organisms, making up about 70% of the total body weight. Water is a polar molecule. •Electrons spend more time around the oxygen than the hydrogens, creating a partial negative charge. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Water (Figure 2.7a) Access the text alternative for these images Loading… ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Water is a Solvent 1 Properties of water, continued: •Water is a solvent (dissolves many substances). •Solution—water with dissolved solutes. •Salts dissociate, or separate, when dissolved in water, facilitating chemical reactions. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Water is a Solvent 2 Properties of water, continued: •Water is a solvent, continued: •Polar molecules attract water, so are hydrophilic. •Hydrophobic molecules do not attract water; are nonpolar. •In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally (no partial charges). •That is, vegetable oil is nonpolar, so won’t dissolve in water. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Acids and Bases 1 Acids are substances that dissociate in water, releasing hydrogen ions (H+). •That is, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is produced by the stomach and aids in digestion. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Acids and Bases 2 Bases are substances that take up hydrogen ions (H+) or release hydroxide ions (OH−). •That is, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› The pH Scale The pH scale is a measure of acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution . •Ranges from 0 to 14. •7 is neutral; hydrogen ion (H+) concentration is equal to hydroxide (OH−) concentration. •A pH below 7 is acidic (H+ is greater than OH−) and above 7 is basic (OH− is greater than H+). •The concentration of hydrogen ions between each pH number changes by a factor of 10. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› The pH Scale (Figure 2.10) Access the text alternative for these images ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Buffers Buffer—a solution that resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. •Important within the body or in the ecosystem as a whole; pH values need to stay within a narrow range. •That is, carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions act as buffers in the blood; they absorb H+ and OH−produced by metabolism. •This prevents changes in pH. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Molecules of Life 2 The four major organic molecules in the body: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. •Organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen and are associated with cells. •Each is composed of subunits. ©2020 McGraw-Hill Education ‹#› Molecules of Life 3 Dehydration reaction—a type of synthesis chemical reaction that removes water, linking subunits together into macromolecules (large molecules).
