QOD:In a group of 4, each pick one paragraph of the article to read. (note: paragraph 2 is the hardest one, the back page will be more helpful) When you are done reading, discuss as a group and try to answer the question: Why does the doctor not recommend the use of external cooling (such as ice baths, cold water or even air conditioners) to reduce a fever.

2.1  Chemical Elements

Chemistry as it related to biology

A. MatterWhat is matter?

Matter “stuff”

Made up of elements: substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by a chem rxn

Compound: consist of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio

• Six elements (C, H, N, O, P, S) make up 98% of living things.

• C, H, O and N make up about 96%

B. Atomic Structure

The atomic mass of an atom is about equal to the sum of its protons and neutrons

All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, the atom's atomic number

Periodic Table

(mass)

Interactive Periodic Table  |  Cartoon Periodic Table

Isotopes

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but differ in number of neutrons; e.g., a carbon atom has six protons but may have more or less than usual six neutrons.

Carbon 14  - Break it Down!

Carbon- 12 is the most common form of carbon, it has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons It is called Carbon 12 because that is its weight  (6 + 6 )

Carbon 14 has 2 extra neutrons, its weight is 14  (6 + 8 ); it is an isotope of carbon

A carbon with eight rather than six neutrons is unstable; it releases rays and subatomic particles and is a radioactive isotope.

Sample Question: A 200 g sample of muskopfonian is left in a container , the half life of muskopfonian is 1 hour. How much of the sample will be left after 4 hours?

Answer:

200 x .5 =  100 (hour 1)100 x .5  =  50  (hour 2)50 x .5 = 25 (hour 3)25 x .5 = 12.5 (hour 4)

or 200 x .54 = 12.5

Low levels of radiation such as radioactive iodine or glucose allow researchers to trace the location and activity of  the atom in living tissues; therefore these isotopes are called tracers                                 which are used in CAT scans

 High levels of radiation can cause cancerous tissues and destroy cells; careful use of radiation in turn can sterilize products and kill cancer cells.

Pick your favorite element from the table.  Turn and tell your lab partner what it is, how many protons, electrons and neutrons it has, and what it's atomic weight is.

E. Electrons and Energy

1. Electrons occupy an orbital at some level near or distant from the nucleus of the atom.

S orbital: innermost, hold 2 elections

P orbital: after s, holds 8 elections

3. When atoms absorb energy during photosynthesis, electrons are boosted to higher energy levels.4. The innermost shell of an atom is complete with two electrons; all other shells are complete with eight electrons.5. The outermost shell is the valance shell, and the number of valance e- in the outermost shell determine many of the atoms properties

DRAW IT!     QUICK!!1. Draw six protons in the nucleus of the atom. 2. Draw six neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.3. Draw two electrons in the first energy level and label them with their charge.4. Draw four electrons in the second energy level and label them with their charge.5. What element is it!? __________                           (the future of the human race depends on it!)

2.2 Elements and Compounds

A. Compounds: When two or more different elements react or bond together, they form a compound (e.g., H2O).

 Electrons possess energy and bonds that exist between atoms in molecules contain energy.

Glycine

B. Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonds: when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

- Attraction of oppositely charged ions holds the two atoms together in an ionic bond.

- Losing or gaining elections gives ions a filled outer shell, so they are more stable

Ex: sodium (Na+) and Chlorine (Cl- ) make NaCl

Cation: positively charged ion

anion: negatively charged ion

C. Covalent Bonding

• Hydrogen can give up an electron to become a hydrogen ion (H+) or share an electron with another atom to complete its outer shell of two electrons.

Covalent bonds: when two atoms share electrons so each atom has octet of electrons in the outer shell.

• Strongest type of bond

Carbon has amazing bonding properties, as we will learn in the next chapter on BIOCHEMISTRY

Structural formulas represent shared atom as a line between two atoms; e.g., single covalent bond (H-H), double covalent bond (O=O)

Bonds can be represented using structural formation, where a line represent the sharing of 2 elections

D. Nonpolar and Polar Covalent Bonds1. In nonpolar covalent bonds, sharing of electrons is equal = no

charge2. With polar covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons is unequal. =

chargeEx: water molecule (H2O), sharing of electrons by oxygen and hydrogen is not equal; the oxygen atom with more protons dominates the H2O association.

              *The oxygen then assumes a small negative charge *

Hydrogen Bond: weak attractive force between slightly positive hydrogen atom of one molecule and slightly negative atom in another or the same molecule.• Weakest bond• mainly between O, N, F and an atom of hydrogen• Many hydrogen bonds taken together are relatively strong.• Hydrogen bonds between complex molecules of cells help maintain structure and

function.

Hydrogen bonds create surface tension.

Van der Waals Interactions

When you have a molecule which is electrically dipolar (equal but opposite in charge) you have attraction between the negative pole of one molecule and positive pole of the other molecule. They are usually weaker than hydrogen bounds but exist in all matter

Notice the e- spend more time around the oxygen molecule: it’s has more protons to attract the elections

*the shape allows for one side to be more + and the other more -

Biological molecules recognize and interact with each other with specificity based on their shape

2.3. Chemistry of Water

A. Facts

1. All living things are 70.90% water.2. Because water is a polar molecule, water molecules are hydrogen bonded to each other.3. With hydrogen bonding, water is liquid between 0 C and 100 C which is critical for life.

http://www.johnkyrk.com/H2O.html

B. Properties of Water

1. High Specific Heat: The temperature of liquid water rises and falls more slowly than that of most other liquids.

a. Calorie is amount of heat energy required to raise temperature of one gram of water 1o C.b. Because water holds more heat, its temperature falls more slowly than other liquids; this protects organisms from rapid temperature changes and helps them maintain normal temperatures.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/458-how-water-works-video.htm

2. Water has a high heat of vaporization.

a. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules require a large amount of heat to break.b. This property moderates earth's surface temperature; permits living systems to exist here.c. When animals sweat, evaporation of the sweat takes away body heat, thus cooling the animal.

Heat of vaporizationEvaporative cooling

Organisms rely on heat of vaporization to remove body heat

3. Water is universal solvent, and facilitates chemical reactions both outside of and within living systems..

a. Water is a universal solvent because it dissolves a great number of solutes.b. Ionized or polar molecules attracted to water are hydrophilic.c. Nonionized and nonpolar molecules that cannot attract water are hydrophobic.

Solvents dissolve other substances (solutes) and do not lose their own properties.

If we use a simple and easy example, we can get a handle on the idea. Take a glass of warm water, put a teaspoon of table salt in it, and stir it. The salt will dissolve in the water and "disappear" from view. The water is the solvent here, the salt is the solute in this example, and the resulting salt water is a solution that we created. It's that simple.

4. Liquid water is cohesive & adhesiveCohesion = H bonds between water molecules; H2O molecules tend to stick together.Adhesive= ability of water to cling to other polar molecules

importance= Higher surface tensionTransport H2O against gravity in plants

And this hasmade all the difference!

Ice! I could use more ice!

5. Ice floats

Most (all?) substances are more dense when they are solid, but

not water… Ice floats! H bonds form a crystal allowing life to survive the winter

Major buffer system in bloodMaintains blood pH between 7.38 and 7.42

C. Acids and Bases

1. Covalently bonded water molecules ionize; the atoms dissociate into ions.2. When water ionizes or dissociates, it releases a small (107 moles/liter) but equal number of H+ and OHions; thus, its pH is neutral.3. Water dissociates into hydrogen and hydroxide ions: 

Acid molecules dissociate in water, releasing hydrogen ions (H+) ions: HCl ¨ H+ + Cl-.

Bases are molecules that take up hydrogen ions or release hydroxide ions. NaOH ¨ Na+ + OH-.

See also:  Acid & Base Coloring

6. The pH scale indicates acidity and basicity (alkalinity) of a solution.

1) One mole of water has 107 moles/liter of hydrogen ions; therefore, has neutral pH of 7.2) Acid is a substance with pH less than 7; base is a substance with pH greater than 7.3) As logarithmic scale, each lower unit has 10 times the amount of hydrogen ions as next higher pH unit;

* Buffers keep pH steady and within normal limits in living organisms..
