Chemistry of Life
Chapter 6 page 141
Elements
• Everything on earth is made of elements– Rock– Flower– Water– Etc
• Definition– A substance that cannot be broken down into
simpler chemical substances
Elements in a human
• Only 4 of the 90 naturally occurring elements make up more than 96% of the mass of a human– O – C– H– N
Elements in the Human Body (percent by mass)
64%

Other elements
Atoms
• Definition– Smallest particle of an element that has the
characteristics of that element• Thus…
– Building blocks of elements
Structure of Atoms
• Nucleus– Contains:
• Protons positively charged• Neutrons no charge
• Energy Levels– Contain:
• Electrons negatively charged
Energy Levels
• Page 143– Electrons travel around nucleus in energy
levels• 1st level can hold 2 electrons• 2nd level can hold 8 electrons• 3rd level can hold 18 electrons
Oxygen
• 8 electrons
• 8 protons
• 8 neutrons– Draw an example of an oxygen atom
What is a compound?
• Water is not an element (H20)
• It’s a compound– Substance that is composed of two or more
different elements

• Isomers – Compounds with the same formula but different structures:
Isotopes – Atoms of the same element with different #’s of
neutrons
• C-12– Has 6 protons and 6 neutrons
• C-13 – Has 6 protons and 7 neutrons
• C – 14– Has 6 protons and 8 neutrons
• Are C-13 and C-14 equal?
Reactants vs. Products
•C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 C12H22O11+ H2O
•2 H2O2 2 H2O + O2
• 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6 + 6O2
Covalent Bonding
• Sharing Electrons
Ionic Bonding• Bond formed when electrons are transferred
• Catalyst– Speeds up chemical reactions
• Enzymes are catalysts
Acids have sour taste and are corrosive Bases have a slippery
feeling and a bitter taste
Chemical Reactions
• Bonds between atoms are formed or broken
