Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life
• Can you list the levels of organization?
![Page 2: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Matter
• Matter – Anything that has mass and takes up space – made up of atoms.
States of matter
– Solid – has definite shape and volume
– Liquid – has definite volume, changeable shape
– Gas – has changeable shape and volume

Understanding Basic Chemistry
• Atom – the smallest particle into which a substance can be broken by ordinary chemical means.– Parts of an Atom:
• Proton – in the nucleus and has a positive charge
• Neutron – in the nucleus and has a neutral charge
• Electron – in the orbital (shell, energy level) and has a negative charge
![Page 4: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons
• Atomic Number = protons
• Electrons usually equal the protons if the atom is neutral.
• Remember an atom is defined by it’s number of protons. If you change the protons you change the atom!!!!!!!!

• Valence – number of electrons in the outer energy level. Example 7
• Oxidation Number – number of electrons an atom has gained or lost and the charge associated. Ex. Looking at the above valence of 7 the oxidation number is: -1
• Octet Rule - filling the outer energy level to 8 electrons (exception is the first energy level that can only hold two electrons)

Atom - The smallest particle into which a substance can be broken by ordinary chemical means.
•Remember an atom has a nucleus that consists of neutrons (neutral) and protons (positive)
•Electrons (negative) are found orbiting the nucleus

General Chemistry You Should Remember
![Page 13: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mixtures
• Mixtures – two or more substances not chemically combined – therefore they retain their own properties
![Page 14: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Types of Mixtures:
1. Solutions – evenly combined mixture composed of:
• Solvent – does the dissolving ex. Water
• Solute – the substance being dissolved ex. Sugar
![Page 15: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. Suspensions –The particles will spread out and eventually settle – large particles (saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated)
• Example sand in water (whole blood)
3. Colloid – a mixture that has medium particles – held in solution by their association with water
• ex. Liquid jello….. Mayonnaise
![Page 16: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mixtures Compared with Compounds
• No chemical bonding takes place in mixtures• Most mixtures can be separated by physical
means• Mixtures can be heterogeneous or
homogeneous• Compounds cannot be separated by physical
means• All compounds are homogeneous
![Page 17: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Writing Chemical Equations• The left side of an equation is called the
reactants.
• The right side of an equation is called the products
• An arrow separates the reactants from the products. The arrow is called a “yields” sign
Ex. Na + Cl NaCl
![Page 18: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TYPES OF BONDS(Bonds store energy)
IONIC BONDS- ELECTRONS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE ATOM TO ANOTHER AND IONS ARE FORMED
• Ions are charged atoms resulting from the gain or loss of electrons
• Anions have gained one or more electrons (taking is negative)
• Cations have lost one or more electrons (giving is positive)
•

Covalent bonds- when atoms share electrons (the strongest bond)
e.x. Peptide bonds – between C and N in proteins
![Page 21: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Hydrogen bonds- a “bond” between hydrogen and 2 small electronegative
atoms ex. f, n, o (the weakest bond – and remember it is really an attraction.
![Page 23: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Electrons shared equally between atoms produce nonpolar covalent molecules
Unequal sharing of electrons produces polar covalent molecules (ex. Water!) (unequal causes a “charge” on each molecule)
Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Molecules

Types of Reactions• Chemical Reactions – the process of breaking
down chemical bonds and/or forming new ones (a chemical equations shows this)– To do this an activation energy is needed
( the energy that is needed to get the reaction going)• Exothermic – there is a net release of
energy (it feels warm)• Endothermic – there is a net absorption
of energy (feels cool)

Two or more elements or compounds combine to make a more complex substance (ex. Dehydration synthesis – takes H2O away)
Compounds break down into simpler substances (ex
hydrolysis – puts H2O back)
Occurs when one element replaces another one in a compound
Occurs when different atoms in two different
compounds trade places

SUMMARYSUMMARY
1. The Atomic Number of an atom =
number of
protons in the nucleus. (or electrons in a neutral atom)
2. The Atomic Mass of an atom =
number of Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus.
![Page 32: Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56812c70550346895d910743/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3. Remember:
•Protons are positive,
•Neutrons are neutral
•electrons are negative.
4. Protons, Neutrons are in the nucleus and electrons are in the
shell.

5. The number of Protons =
Number of Electrons in a neutral atom or the atomic number.
6. A “normal” atom has a neutral charge
7. An atom that has given or taken electrons is called an
ion (cation gave….. Anion took)
8. An atom that has a different number of neutrons is called an
isotope

9. Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells/energy levels/orbitals.
10. Each shell can only carry a set number of electrons

11. Valence – number of electrons in the outer energy level. Example 7
12. Oxidation Number – number of electrons an atom has gained or lost and the charge associated. Ex. Looking at the above valence of 7 the oxidation number is: -1
13. Octet Rule - filling the outer energy level to 8 electrons (exception is the first energy level that can only hold two electrons)
