The Nature of Matter
• Life depends on chemistry.
• Just as an architect must understand the materials that make up a building, a scientist must understand the molecules that make up a living thing.
Go to Section:
• Atoms
• The study of chemistry starts with the basic unit of matter, the atom. • The atom was first used by the Greek philosopher Democritus which
means “unable to be cut.” • There are three particles to the atom:
1. Electron - negative charge – Found in the electron cloud
2. Proton - positive charge • Found in the nucleus
3. Neutron - no charge – Found in the nucleus
Go to Section:
Elements
• An element is a pure substance that consists entirely of one type of atom. • There are 118 known elements. • The elements are mostly represented by one or two letters. • The first letter is always capitalized while the rest are lower case. • Examples:
Oxygen - O Carbon - C Sodium - Na
• An element is identified by the number of protons it has. • The elements can be found in the Periodic Table

Isotopes
• Sometimes, atoms of an element can have a different number of neutrons. • These atoms are called isotopes. • The sum of the protons and neutrons is equal to the mass number. • The average weight of all the isotopes is equal to the atomic mass.

Go to Section:
Radioactive Isotopes
• There are some isotopes that are radioactive. • This means their nucleus is unstable and break down at a constant rate over time. • The radiation that is given off can be dangerous, but could also be useful.
• Geologists can determine the ages of rocks and fossils by analyzing the isotopes found in them. • Some radiation can be used to treat cancer or be used as labels or “tracers” to follow the movement of substances.
Go to Section:
Chemical Compounds
• In nature, most elements are found combined with other elements. • Substances formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions are called chemical compounds. • The shorthand representation of a chemical compound is called a chemical formula. • Examples:
– Water : made of two hydrogen and one oxygen : H2O – Salt : one sodium and one chloride : NaCl

Go to Section:
Chemical Compounds
• The physical and chemical properties of compounds are very different from the elements that make them up. • Water:
– Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gases, but water is a liquid.
• Salt: – Sodium is a soft metal and is very explosive in water. – Chloride is a poisonous, greenish gas that was used in
WWI.
Go to Section:
Chemical Bonds
• The atoms of compounds are held together by chemical bonds.
• Much of chemistry is trying to understand how and when these bonds form.
• The bond formation is the responsibility of the electrons of each atom.
• The electrons that form the bonds are called valence electrons. • There are two types of chemical bonds:
1. Ionic Bond 2. Covalent Bond
Go to Section:
Ionic Bonds
• An ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
• In a neutral state, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
• In ionic bonds, the atom that lost the electron has a positive charge and the atom that gained the electron has a negative charge.

Covalent Bond
• A covalent bond forms when the electrons of two or more atoms are shared between the atoms. • This means the electrons flow in the electron cloud of both atoms. • Types of covalent bonds:
– Single bond: sharing of two electrons – Double bond: sharing of four electrons – Triple bond: sharing of six electrons
• The structure that results when atoms are joined together by covalent bonds is called a molecule.
Go to Section:

Go to Section:
Van der Waals Forces
• Because of their structures, atoms of different elements do not all have the same ability to attract electrons. • When atoms of a covalent bond share electrons, the sharing is not always equal. • If the sharing of the electrons is equal, the rapid movement of the electrons can create regions on a molecule that have tiny positive or negative charges. • When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of the nearby molecules. • These intermolecular forces of attraction are called van der Waals forces.
Go to Section:
Geckos
• Geckos show a great example of van der Waals forces. • A geckos foot is covered by as many as half a million tiny hair-like projections. • Each projection is further divided into hundreds of tiny, flat-surface fibers. • This design allows a great area of the geckos’ foot to attract forces with the atoms of the surface they are walking on.

Water, Water Everywhere
If you have ever seen a photograph of Earth from space, you know that much of the planet is covered by water. Water makes life on Earth possible. If life as we know it exists on some other planet, water must be present to support that life.

Properties of Water
• Water covers 3/4 of Earths Surface • Water is the single most abundant compound in most living things.
Chapter 2-2
Go to Section:
The Water Molecule
• Water is a neutral molecule, but is considered to be polar. • The oxygen atom has a stronger attraction for electrons than the hydrogen. • Therefore the electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom. • This gives the oxygen atom a negative charge and the hydrogens a positive charge. • A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms
Go to Section:
Hydrogen Bonds
• Because the water molecule is polar, it has a positive and negative side. • The positive charge of one molecule attracts to the negative charge of another molecule. • This attraction forms a hydrogen bond. • Hydrogen bonds are weaker than ionic or covalent bonds. • These hydrogen bonds are responsible for many of water’s properties.
Go to Section:
Cohesion
• Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same substance. • Water molecules can form as many as four hydrogen bonds at the same time. • Water’s cohesion causes molecules on the surface to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on a smooth surface. • This cohesion make it possible for insects to walk across the surface of a pond or lake.
Go to Section:
Adhesion
• Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances. • Example: Water in graduated cylinder
– At eye level, the water tends to dip in the middle. – This is because the adhesion between the water and the glass
molecules is stronger than the cohesion of the water molecules. • Capillary action:
– The ability of water rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.
6
Go to Section:
Solution and Suspensions
• Water is often found as part of a mixture. • A mixture is a material composed of two or more elements or
compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically combined.
• Two types of mixtures that could be made with water are solutions and suspensions.
Go to Section:
Solution
• The components of a solution are evenly distributed. • A solution is made up of two components.
1. Solute - the substance that is dissolved. 2. Solvent - the substance in which the solute dissolves.
• The best solvent in the world is water. • Example: Salt water
– When a crystal of salt is placed in water, sodium and chloride ions on the surface of the crystal are attracted to the polar water molecules.
– Ions break away from the crystal and are surrounded by water molecules.

Go to Section:
Suspensions
• Some materials do not dissolve when placed in water but separate into pieces so small that they do not settle out. • The movement of the water molecules keep the small particles suspended. • This mixture of water and nondissolved material is called a suspension. • Example:
– Blood: Blood is mostly made up of water, but contains blood cells that remain suspended as the blood travels through your body.
Go to Section:
Acids, Bases, and pH
• Water is a covalent molecule, but also has the ability to form into ions. • The following chemical equation demonstrates the reactions:
• Only about 1 in 550 million molecules of water react to form an ion.
7
Go to Section:
pH Scale
• Scientist developed a scale to determine the concentration of H+ ions in a solution. • It is called the pH scale and it ranges from 0 to 14. • At 7, the number of H+ ions is equal to the number of OH- ions. • Below 7, there are more H+ ions than OH- ions which means the solution is acidic. • Above 7, there are more OH- ions than H+ ions which means the solution is basic. • Each step on the pH scale represents a factor of 10.
Go to Section:
pH Scale
Go to Section:
Acids
• An acid is any compound that forms H+ ions in a solution. • Acidic solutions contain higher concentrations of H+ ions than pure water and have pH values below 7.
Go to Section:
Bases
• A base is a compound that produces OH- ions in solution. • Basic, or alkaline, solutions contain lower concentrations on H+ ions than pure water and have pH values above 7.
Go to Section:
Buffers
• A buffer is a weak acid or base that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp, sudden changes in pH. • Buffers are important because the cell must remain at a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. • If the pH goes beyond this range, the chemical reactions that take place may be affected.
Go to Section:
Life’s Backbone
Most of the compounds that make up living things contain carbon. In fact, carbon makes up the basic structure, or “backbone,” of these compounds. Each atom of carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level, which makes it possible for each carbon atom to form four bonds with other atoms.
As a result, carbon atoms can form long chains. A huge number of different carbon compounds exist. Each compound has a different structure. For example, carbon chains can be straight or branching. Also, other kinds of atoms can be attached to the carbon chain.

Macromolecules
• The term macromolecule means “giant molecules.” • Macromolecules are formed by small, organic compounds, called
monomers, joined together through the process called polymerization.
• The final product of this process is a polymer. • There are four groups of organic compounds found in living things:
1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Nucleic acids 4. Proteins
Go to Section:
Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. • They are used by living things as the main source of energy. • The immediate supply of energy for all cell activities comes from glucose. • Extra glucose is stored as a complex carbohydrate known as starch.

Lipids
• Lipids are molecules that are not soluble in water. • They consist of fats, oils, and waxes. • Lipids can be used to store energy. • Some lipids are important parts of biological membranes and
waterproof coverings. • Lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty
acids. • There are two types of lipids:
1. Saturated - Contain maximum number of hydrogens. 2. Unsaturated - There is at least one double bond between the
carbons.

Matter and Energy
Have you ever sat around a campfire or watched flames flicker in a fireplace? The burning of wood is a chemical reaction—a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals. A chemical reaction always involves changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction are called reactants. The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction are called products. As wood burns, molecules of cellulose are broken down and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, and energy is released.
