2 Chemistry in Biology Section 1: Atoms, Elements, and Compounds
Section 2: Chemical Reactions Section 3: Water and Solutions Section 4: The Building Blocks of Life

3 I. Atoms (and their components)
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds I. Atoms (and their components) Chemistry is the study of matter. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Neutrons and protons are located at the center of the atom. A. Protons are positively charged particles. B. Neutrons are particles that have no charge.

4 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds C. Electrons are negatively charged particles that are located outside the nucleus.

5 Electron clouds (orbitals, shells, rings, etc)
Diagraming: Start in the center closest to the nucleus and work out Place the proper # of electrons in the following arrangement: 1st: can hold 2 Formula: 2n2 2nd: can hold 8 3rd: can hold 18 4th: can hold 32

6 Valence electrons: the # of electrons in the outermost orbital of any diagram
* the closer to “full” outer shells, the more “stable” the molecule. Atoms will bond with neighboring to try to become “full”

7 There are over 100 known elements, 92 of which occur naturally.
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds II. Elements A. element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by physical or chemical means. There are over 100 known elements, 92 of which occur naturally. Each element has a unique name and symbol.

8 Atoms, Elements, and Compounds
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds The Periodic Table of Elements Horizontal rows are called periods. Vertical columns are called groups.

9 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds B. Isotopes Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons

10 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds Radioactive Isotopes When a nucleus breaks apart, it gives off radiation that can be detected and used for many applications. Medical needs, dating fossils, etc…

11 A pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds III. Compounds A pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine Compounds are always formed from a specific combination of elements in a fixed ratio. Compounds cannot be broken down into simpler compounds or elements by physical means but can by chemical

12 Chemical bond that forms when electrons are shared
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds Chemical Bonds A. Covalent bonds Chemical bond that forms when electrons are shared A molecule is a compound in which the atoms are held together by covalent bonds.

13 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds B. Ionic Bonds *Charges Electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups of atoms

14 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology

15 The elements identified as metals tend to donate electrons.
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds Some atoms tend to donate or accept electrons more easily than other atoms. The elements identified as metals tend to donate electrons. The elements identified as nonmetals tend to accept electrons.

16 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds Most ionic compounds are crystalline at room temperature and have higher melting points than molecular compounds formed by covalent bonds.

17 Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Atoms, Elements, and Compounds C. van der Waals Forces When molecules come close together, the attractive forces between slightly positive and negative regions pull on the molecules and hold them together. The strength of the attraction depends on the size of the molecule, its shape, and its ability to attract electrons.

18 IV. Reactants and Products
Section 1 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions IV. Reactants and Products A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms in substances are reorganized into different substances. Clues that a chemical reaction has taken place include the production of heat or light, and formation of a gas, liquid, or solid.

19 Reactants are the starting substances, on the left side of the arrow.
Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions Chemical Equations Chemical formulas describe the substances in the reaction and arrows indicate the process of change. Reactants are the starting substances, on the left side of the arrow. Products are the substances formed during the reaction, on the right side of the arrow.

Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions Glucose and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide and water.

21 Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions I. Balanced Equations The law of conservation of mass states matter cannot be created or destroyed. The number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must equal the number of atoms of the same element on the product side.

22 Steps for balancing (1-6):
1. write the equation and separate in half 2. assess how many of each element are on each side 3. start putting coefficients in front to try to obtain equal amounts on each side 4. coefficients are multiplied with subscripts

23 5. if it is a compound, coefficients apply to each part
6. check each part to ensure eqn is balanced **Sample problems!!!

24 Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions II. Energy Diagrams The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for reactants to form products in a chemical reaction.

25 Exo=exit; releases heat energy.
Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions A. Exothermic Exo=exit; releases heat energy. The energy of the product is lower than the energy of the reactants.

26 Endo=in; absorbed heat energy. (takes in)
Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions B. Endothermic Endo=in; absorbed heat energy. (takes in) The energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants.

27 III. Enzymes=Catalysts
Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions III. Enzymes=Catalysts A catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction. It does not increase how much product is made and it does not get used up in the reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts.

28 The reactants that bind to the enzyme are called substrates.
Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions The reactants that bind to the enzyme are called substrates. The specific location where a substrate binds on an enzyme is called the active site. * Lock and Key model or puzzle piece!!

29 Section 2 Chemistry in Biology Chemical Reactions The active site changes shape and forms the enzyme-substrate complex, which helps chemical bonds in the reactants to be broken and new bonds to form. Factors such as pH, temperature, and other substances affect enzyme activity.

Section 4 Chemistry in Biology The Building Blocks of Life B. Lipids (fats, oils, waxes)= “E storers” Molecules made mostly of carbon and hydrogen *Lipids in our body: consumable (food), phospholipids and steroids Are lipids hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

45 Section 4 Chemistry in Biology The Building Blocks of Life Lipids that have tail chains with only single bonds between the carbon atoms are called saturated fats. (s for saturated=s for single bond Lipids that have at least one double bond between carbon atoms in the tail chain are called unsaturated fats. Fats with more than one double bond in the tail are called polyunsaturated fats.
