Elements
Chemistry in Biology
An element is a pure substance that cannot
be broken down into other substances by
physical or chemical means.
There are over 100 known elements, 92 of
which occur naturally.
Each element has a unique name and symbol.
These are found on the periodic table.

IsotopesChemistry in Biology
Atoms of the same element that have the
same number of protons and electrons but
have a different number of neutrons
The atomic mass on the periodic table is an
average of all the isotopes.

Compounds
Chemistry in Biology
A pure substance formed when two or more
different elements combine
Compounds are always formed from a specific
combination of elements in a fixed ratio.
For example, water is always made from 2
hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom

Valence Electrons
A valence electron is an electron in the outermost
shell/ring.
All atoms want to have a full outer shell.
They will either take, give, or share electrons to get a full
outer shell.

Chemical Bonds
Covalent bonds
A chemical bond that
forms when electrons
are shared
These bonds form
between two non-
metals
A molecule is a compound in which the
atoms are held together by covalent
bonds.

Ionic Bonds
One atom gives electrons to another atom.
This makes one atom positive (more protons)
and one negative (more electrons) so they
attract to each other.

Sometimes in covalent molecules, the
sharing of electrons is not even. One
atom may have the electrons more
often. This creates slight positive and
negative charges within the molecule.
This is called a dipole.
Water is a prime
example. The oxygen is
more electronegative,
meaning it pulls the
electrons towards itself

Hydrogen (polar) bonds
These dipoles allow
molecules to be
attracted to each
other (the positive
attracts to the
negative charge on
another molecule)
These kind of
molecules are called
polar.

Van der Waals forces
The electrons in
all molecules are
moving around
So sometimes
when molecules
come close to
each other, a
dipole will be
formed for a brief
period
These temporary
dipoles hold
molecules
together
