1 Chemistry of Life

2 All matter is made up of atoms.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. All matter is made up of atoms.

3 protons electrons neutrons

4 Matter can be composed of an element,
a compound, or a mixture.

5 Element – a pure substance made of one type of atom, and it
cannot be broken down. Aluminum, Al

6 There are 109 elements.

7 96% of the mass of a human is made of only 4 elements – carbon,
96% of the mass of a human is made of only 4 elements – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.

8 Most elements do not exist alone. Elements combine to form compounds.
Compound - a pure substance that is composed of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds. O H H

9 ELEMENT COMPOUND

10 MIXTURE

11 O H H Water, H2O The elements that make up a compound
    The elements that make up a compound are held together by chemical bonds. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two atoms. Chemical bond Chemical bond O  Water, H2O H H

12 There are two types of chemical bonds:
Covalent bond Ionic bond

13 O Covalent bond Covalent bond – chemical bond between atoms
    Covalent bond – chemical bond between atoms in which electrons are shared. Covalent bond O H H

14 Cl- Ionic bond (2) Ionic bond – chemical bond between atoms
    (2) Ionic bond – chemical bond between atoms in which electrons are transferred to other atom. Ionic bond Cl- Na+

15 Acid Base Strongest acid Strongest Base
