![Page 10: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Atomic Subparticles Protons + charge, 1 Dalton mass Neutrons no charge, 1 Dalton mass Electrons - charge, essentially no mass
![Page 11: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Atomic Model
![Page 12: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Atomic Number The number of protons in the nucleus. Each element has its own atomic
number. If you change the atomic number, you no
longer have the same element.
![Page 13: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Atomic Mass The number of protons and neutrons in
the nucleus. The atomic mass can change.
![Page 14: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Isotopes Atoms of the same element with different
atomic mass Caused by changes in the number of neutrons Used as “tracers”, used to kill cancer/bacteria
cells, used to determine age of fossils/geological formations
![Page 15: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Types of Isotopes Radioactive
Where the nucleus decays spontaneously, giving off particles and energy.
HeavyHas a stable nucleus, but masses more
than the standard isotope for the element.
![Page 16: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Energy The ability to do work THINK = ATP ATP is how living organisms have the
ability to do workThey USE ATP!!!
![Page 17: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Potential Energy Is the energy that matter stores
simply because of its position or location
Electrons have potential energy because of their position relative to the nucleus
![Page 18: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Electron Energy Levels
Energy levels around the nucleus of an atom
1st level can have 2 electrons and has the lowest potential energy
Other levels can hold more than 2 electrons and have higher energy levels
![Page 20: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Electron Orbitals The three dimensional space
where an electron is found 90% of the time.
Different orbitals have different shapes.
Each orbital can hold only 2 electrons.
![Page 21: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Electron Orbitals
![Page 22: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chemical Behavior Of An Atom Is determined by its electron
configuration in the energy levels and orbitals
This determines who is can bond with (if anyone!)
![Page 23: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Valence Electrons The electrons in the outermost energy
level Electrons available chemical bonds Atoms/Elements with same # of valence
electrons will react similarly and will have similar characteristics
![Page 24: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Octet Rule The most stable condition is to have
an outer level of 8 electrons Exception - 1st level is stable with
only 2 electrons When stable - no chemical reactions
will take place Ex: Ne, He, (Noble gases)
![Page 25: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Electrons of the first elements
![Page 26: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Chemical Bonds Forces that join atoms together to form
molecules Usually caused by sharing or
transferring valence electrons
![Page 27: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Bond Formation Depends On: The number of valence electrons
that must be gained, lost, or shared to reach the stable condition.
![Page 28: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Chemical Bond Types Nonpolar Covalent Polar Covalent Ionic Hydrogen van der Waals forces
![Page 29: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Electronegativity The attractiveness of a specific kind of
atom towards e- in another atomImportant in covalent bonds
Periodic Table trend: More electronegativity = stronger pull of e-He has highest ENIncreases as you go right and up the table
![Page 30: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nonpolar Covalent When electrons are shared equally
between atoms Very strong bond Important in many molecules found in
living things Ex: carbon to hydrogen, hydrogen to
hydrogen, oxygen to oxygen
![Page 32: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Nonpolar Covalent Can be single, double, or triple between
two atoms Each nonpolar covalent bond involves a
pair of electrons
![Page 33: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Polar Covalent When electrons are shared unequally
between atoms Results in “polar” molecules that have
charged areas Use δ symbol Ex: Water, H to O bonds
![Page 35: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ionic Bonds Formed when electrons are transferred
from one atom to another and ions are formed
Ex: NaCl Why? Two atoms electronegativity
are SO different that one atom gains e- completely
![Page 37: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Two Types of Ions Cations - have lost electrons (p+ > e-)
giving them a positive charge.Ex: Sodium (Na+)
Anions - have gained electrons (p+ < e-) giving them a negative charge.Ex: Chlorine (Cl-)
![Page 38: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Ionic Bonds Formed when cations (+) and anions (-)
attract each other Weak chemical bond
Why? Environment easily affects strength of this bond
Ex: Salt Solid in air/gas; Dissolves in liquid
![Page 39: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ionic
![Page 40: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hydrogen Bonds When a hydrogen atom bonded to one
molecule is attracted to the slightly negative area (often N or O) of another molecule
Very weak individual bondCan be a “strong” force if there are many H
bonds.
![Page 41: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hydrogen bonds Remember:
H bonds occur BETWEEN MOLECULES (not b/t atoms within ONE molecule)
Ex: H bonds hold water molecules together
![Page 42: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Hydrogen Bonds

Van der Waals Result of e- ability to move at high speeds Creates “spots” where there are “pools” of
+ and – charges Weak chemical “bond” Ex: gecko’s feet
![Page 44: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Molecular Shape Each molecule on Earth has a
characteristic shapeDetermined by the positions of the
atom’s orbitals Shape related to function
![Page 46: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Molecular Shape
Molecular shape is crucial because it determines how most molecules of life recognize and respond to one another.
Ex: Viruses (reproduction), bacteria
(reproduction), hormones/cell recognition

Chemical Reactions The making and breaking of chemical
bonds Reactions do not destroy matter, they
only rearrange it
![Page 49: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Chemical Equations A way to represent what is happening in
a chemical reaction
Ex: 2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
![Page 50: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Parts of the Equation
Reactants: - the starting materials Products: - the ending materials Note - all atoms of the reactants must
be accounted for in the products
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O

Chemical Equilibrium When the conversion of reactants to
products is balanced to the reverse reaction
Ex:
3 H2 + N2 2 NH3
![Page 53: Chapter 2: The Chemical Context of Life](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568165d7550346895dd8e745/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Chemical equilibrium
Reversible rxn When concentrations of react and prod
STOPS changingDoesn’t necessarily mean concentrations
are equal!!!!! Rxn still continues
