Why do we study chemistry in biology class?
Because everything is made of different kinds of elements

What is Matter Made of?Answer; Atoms
Atoms are composed of;a. Nucleus• Center of the atom• Contains protons (positive) &
neutrons (neutral)b. Electron cloud • Surrounding the nucleus• Contains electrons (negative)

ElementsAn element is a pure substance that cannot be
broken down into other substances by physical or chemical means.
Made of only one type of atom

F.Y.I. 92 naturally occurring elements 26 found in living things Only 6 elements make up nearly the entire weight
of an organism! 20 trace elements occur in your bodies.

Big “6” (Actually Big “4”)What happens when you mess up driving?
People “HONC” at you!
- Hydrogen (H) 10% of an animal’s weight- Oxygen (O) 63% of an animal’s weight- Nitrogen (N) 4% of an animal’s weight
(Makes up genes and proteins)- Carbon (C ) 19% of an animal’s weight

Bonding forms Compounds1. Elements can combine to form more complex
substances. 2. Compounds are formed when two or more
substances combine in a chemical bond.3. There are two main types of bonds:
o Ionic bondso Covalent bonds
4. All bonds involve the atom’s electrons (particularly the outermost, valence, electrons)
![Page 12: Biochemistry--6.1 Basic Chemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f086b61a28abfc5d8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
5. Why do elements want to bond together?
Atoms want to have full energy levels, this makes them stable.
Energy Levels are where the electrons are found- each level can hold a specific number of electronsEx. 1st level = 2 electrons
2nd level = 8 electrons
![Page 13: Biochemistry--6.1 Basic Chemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f086b61a28abfc5d8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Atoms become more stable by losing electrons or attracting electrons from other atoms - this results in a chemical bond.
![Page 14: Biochemistry--6.1 Basic Chemistry](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f086b61a28abfc5d8b45dd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Covalent Bonding Chemical bond formed when electrons are
shared. Hint: Covalent = Cooperate Example: The oxygen atoms below are
sharing their valence electrons in order to have a complete outer shell of electrons.

Ionic BondingCreated when atoms give up (donate) or
obtain (accept) electrons to empty or fill the outer energy level.The atom that loses the electron(s) becomes
positiveThe atom that gains the electron(s) becomes
negative. Atoms that have a positive or negative charge
are called Ions

Time for Questions!1. What are the four main elements that
make up living things? 2. When is an atom considered
chemically stable?3. What are the two main types of bonds
that atoms form?4. What is the main difference between
the two types of bonds you listed above?
