The CHEMISTRY
of Life
CHEMISTRY is the foundation of
BIOLOGY.

Elements in the same column have the same valence & similar
chemical properties

REACTIVITY•Atoms tend to• complete a partially filled valence shell or• empty a partially filled valence shell

Biological Bonds

–
H2 (hydrogen gas)
Biological systems are composed of primarily non-metals (CNOPSH)
Non-metals share electrons with each other to complete their valence shells
COVALENT
balanced, stable.Good building
block
Non-polarPolar
hydrocarbons = CxHx

Polar Bonds
oxygen has stronger “attraction” for the electrons than hydrogen
oxygen has higher electronegativity

Hydrogen Bonding

H Between the “negative-ish”
oxygen
and
The ”positive-ish” hydrogen
WEAKThere is strength in numbers
