Basic Principles
• Chemistry is the science of the structure and interactions of matter.
• Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.– Mass is the amount of matter a substance contains– weight is the force of gravity acting on a mass.
![Page 3: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

HOW MATTER IS ORGANIZED
• Chemical Elements– Elements are given letter abbreviations called chemical
symbols.• Oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen
(N) make up 96% of body weight.
– Trace elements are present in tiny amounts
• copper, tin, selenium & zinc

Structure of Atoms
• Atoms are the smallest units of matter that retain the properties of an element
• 3 types of subatomic particles
• Nucleus: protons (p+) & neutrons (neutral charge)
• Electrons (e-) surround the nucleus as a cloud
![Page 5: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 5
Electron Shells

Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 9
CHEMICAL BONDS
• The atoms of a molecule are held together by forces of attraction called chemical bonds.
• The likelihood that an atom will form a chemical bond with another atom depends on the number of electrons in its outermost shell, also called the valence shell.
![Page 10: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 10
CHEMICAL BONDS
• An atom with a valence shell holding eight electrons (2 electrons for hydrogen and neon) is chemically stable, which means it is unlikely to form chemical bonds with other atoms.
• To achieve stability, atoms that do not have eight electrons in their valence shell (or 2 in the case of H and He) tend to empty their valence shell or fill it to the maximum extent.
• octet rule
![Page 11: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 11
Ionic Bonds
• When an atom loses or gains a valence electron, ions are formed (Figure 2.4a).
– Opposites attract
– Cations
– Anions
![Page 12: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 12
Ionic Bonds
• When this force of attraction holds ions having opposite charges together, an ionic bond results.– Sodium chloride is formed by ionic bonds (Figure 2.4)
• In general, ionic compounds exist as solids but some may dissociate into positive and negative ions in solution. Such a compound is called an electrolyte.
• Table 2.2 lists the names and symbols of the most common ions and ionic compounds in the body.
![Page 13: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 13
The Ionic Bond in Sodium Chloride
• Sodium loses an electron to become Na+ (cation)
• Chlorine gains an electron to become Cl- (anion)
• Na+ and Cl- are attracted to each other to form the compound sodium chloride (NaCl) -- table salt
• Ionic compounds generally exist as solids
![Page 14: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

– Temperature is an indirect measure of molecular motion.• Potential energy
– Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of compounds or molecules.
• Law of conservation of energy
![Page 19: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 19
Energy Transfer in Chemical Reactions
• Reactions in living systems usually involve both kinds of reactions occurring together.– exergonic reactions release energy– endergonic reactions absorb energy
• You will learn of many examples in human metabolism that involve coupled exergonic and endergonic reactions; the energy released from one reaction will drive the other.– Glucose breakdown releases energy, which is
used to build ATP molecules (that store the energy for later use in other reactions.)
![Page 20: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 20
Activation Energy• Activation energy is the
collision energy needed to break bonds & begin areaction.
• Increases in concentration &
temperature, increase the
probability of collision– more particles are in a given space when the concentration
is higher– particles move more rapidly when temperature is raised
![Page 21: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 21
Effectiveness of Catalysts
• Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
![Page 22: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 22
Catalysts or Enzymes
Example:
• Normal body temperatures and concentrations are low enough that many chemical reactions are effectively blocked by the activation energy barrier.– Lactose typically reacts very slowly with water to break down
into two simple sugars called glucose and galactose.– Lactase, an enzyme (catalyst) orients the colliding particles
(lactose and water) properly so that they touch at the spots that make the reaction happen.
– Thousands of lactose/water reactions may be catalyzed by one lactase enzyme.
– Without lactase, the lactose will remain undigested in the intestines and often causes diarrhea and cramping.
![Page 23: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 23
Synthesis Reactions--Anabolism
• Two or more atoms, ions or molecules combine to form new & larger molecules
• All the synthesis reactions in the body together are called anabolism
• Usually are endergonic because they absorb more energy than they release
• Example– combining amino acids to form a protein molecule
![Page 24: Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e1 Chapter 2 The Chemical Level of Organization Lecture Outline](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d5e5503460f94a3d914/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e 24
Decomposition Reactions--Catabolism
• Large molecules are split into smaller atoms, ions or molecules
• All decomposition reactions occurring together in the body are known as catabolism
• Usually are exergonic since they release more energy than they absorb

Cohesion of Water Molecules
• Hydrogen bonds link neighboring water molecules giving water cohesion
• Creates high surface tension– difficult to break the surface of liquid if molecules
are more attracted to each other than to surrounding air molecules
– respiratory problem causes by water’s cohesive property
• air sacs of lungs are more difficult to inflate
