–has 2 protons
![Page 12: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mass Number• found by adding number
of neutrons & number of protons
• He = 4• some atoms of an element
may have different mass numbers
• these are isotopes– same number of
protons & electrons but different number of neutrons
![Page 13: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Number of Electrons• net charge of an atom is zero• each proton has one positive
charge• each electron has one
negative charge• neutrons have no charge• to be neural atom must have
the same number of electrons and protons
• atom of helium with 2 protons • has 2 electrons
![Page 14: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Chemical Properties• arrangement of electrons
determines chemical properties of an atom
• electrons orbit around nucleus• found at different energy levels-
shells• each shell accommodates a
specific number of electrons
![Page 17: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Electron Shells• innermost shell-2 • 2nd & 3rd-8• number of electrons in
outermost shell determines chemical properties of atom
• those with shells that are not full will interact with other atoms & participate in chemical reactions
• those with full shells do not interact-inert
![Page 18: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electron Shells• H-only one electron in outer most shell
– very reactive
• C, N, & O• also highly reactive since outer shells are incomplete• He-inert or nonreactive because outer shell is full
![Page 19: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Atom Interactions-Chemical Bonds• when an atom with an incomplete outer
shell reacts with another atom with an incomplete outer shell they can interact or form a bond
• Share
• Donate
• Receive electrons
• in this way both atoms can have a completed outer shell
![Page 21: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Types of Chemical Bonds
• Covalent Bonds– share electrons
• Ionic– give or receive
electrons
![Page 22: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Covalent Bonds• 2 atoms with incomplete shells
• each share a couple electrons
• so at any one time one atom has a completed outer shell
• forms molecules

In Class Exercise• Pretend you are an atom
• Take the number of your birth month as your atomic number
• Determine the configuration of electrons in your valence shell
• Find another atom that you might interact with to form ions or new molecules
• Demonstrate-draw on the board
![Page 28: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Chemical Reactions• elements combine to make molecules &
compounds• 2 H2 + O2 2H2O• 2 molecules of H react with one
molecule of O (reactants) to form 2 molecules of water (product)
• arrow indicates direction of reaction• two sides of equation on either side of
arrow must balance
![Page 29: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Water• single most important
constituent of body
• life on Earth depends on unusual structure & nature of water
![Page 30: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Importance of Water• Organisms consist mostly of water
– 2/3rds total body weight of humans
• Biochemistry is a wet chemistry– biological molecules do not
react chemically unless in solution
• Water is an important reactant– nearly all chemical reactions in
the body occur in water• Foods are digested to their
building blocks by decomposition reactions called hydrolysis– involves addition of water
• When large molecules form from smaller ones, water is removed in dehydration synthesis or condensation reactions
![Page 31: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Water Structure• 2 H atoms attached covalently
to one O2 molecule• sharing of electrons is not equal• oxygen pulls more on
electrons than does hydrogen • electrons spend more time near
oxygen than hydrogen• unequal sharing produces-
polar bond• Nonpolar bond
– bonds in which two atoms involved have an equal pull on electrons
![Page 32: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Water Structure• O2 attracts electrons more strongly than H-
giving water an asymmetrical distribution of charge
• result-V-shape
• H end has positive charge
• Oxygen end has negative charge
• water has 2 poles-polar
• polarity results in weak electrical attractions between neighboring water molecules
![Page 33: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Polarity of Water• Polarity results in weak
electrical attraction between neighboring water molecules
• slightly positive Hs in one water molecule attract slightly negatively charged O2 in another water molecule
• opposite electrical charges attract
• water molecules attract each othermaking water kind of sticky
• these weak attractions-hydrogen bonds– much weaker than covalent
or ionic bonds
![Page 34: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Polarity, H Bonding & Water’s Properties
• cohesive nature
• ability to moderate temperature
• ice floating
• universal solvent properties
![Page 35: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dissociation• compounds formed by ionic
bonds will ionize or dissociate in water
• dissociation produces cations (+) & anions (-)
• aqueous solution containing anions & cations will conduct electrical currents
• cations move to negative side having a + change & anions move to positive side having a – charge
• soluble inorganic molecules whose ions will conduct an electrical current in solution are called electrolytes
• NaCl is an electrolyte• NaCl + H2ONa+ + Cl-
![Page 36: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Acids• H+ & OH- are in solutions at all times• H2O <-------> H+ + OH- -reversible
reaction• some compounds add more hydrogen ions• others remove them• compound that donates hydrogen ion-
acid• HClH+ + Cl-
• acidic solution is one that has more H+ than OH-
![Page 37: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Bases• compound that accepts or
removes hydrogen ions is a base
• NaOHNa+ +OH-
• basic solution- has more OH- than H+
![Page 38: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
pH scale• pH = potential hydrogen• scale developed in
1909 by Dane Soren Sorensen– beer brewer looking
for a way to check acidity of beer
• describes how acidic or basic a solution is
• scale ranges from 0-14• 0 = most acidic• 14 = most basic• 7=neutral
![Page 39: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
pH• at neutral pH• H+ = OH-
• pH < 7 is acidic• pH > than 7 is more basic or alkaline
![Page 40: Chemicals of Life. Chemistry chemicals give cells properties of life –must know principles of chemistry to understand biology –organisms-bags of chemicals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55150c945503465e608b49f6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Buffers• pH of blood ranges
between 7.35-7.45• value must be maintained
in narrow range• even small change can
lead to severe metabolic consequences
• biological fluids contain buffers– substances that resist
changes in pH by accepting H+ when in excess & donating H+
when depleted
