1. Section 2.1 What three subatomic particles make up atoms? Where are those particles located? How are all of the isotopes of an element similar? Different? What are the two main types of chemical bonds?

2. 2.1 Vocabulary atom ionic bond nucleus ion electron covalent bond element molecule isotope van der Waals forces compound

3. Chapter 2 The Chemistry of Life Atom – the building blocks of matter (100 million atoms side by side = 1 cm in length) Subatomic particles in the atom: 1. Protons Inside the __nucleus____ 2. Neutrons 3. Electrons

5. Protons = _ +_ charge Neutrons = __0___charge Electron = ___-__ charge Protons and neutrons about the same mass Electron is very small (1/1840 mass of proton) Electrons in constant motion around the nucleus

6. Elements in the human body # Protons = # electrons Overall charge of atom is ______neutral___ Proton # also called the ___atomic number

7. Elements Pure substance Made of one type of atom More than 100, but only about 25 in living organisms

8. The Periodic Table of Elements Interactive

9. Isotopes Atoms of the same element but a different number of ___neutrons___ Identified by their mass number example: All isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because same number of __electrons______

10. Radioactive Isotopes Nuclei are _unstable___ and break down at a constant rate over time Important scientific/practical uses Geologists determine age of rocks and fossils Treat cancer Kill bacteria that cause food to spoil Labels (tracers) to follow movements of substances in organisms

11. Chemical Compounds Substance formed by the chemical combination of _____2 or more elements Combine in definite proportions Use chemical formulas to identify them __NaCl, H 2 O___ Physical and chemical properties of a compound are __different__ from the elements making it up

12. Chemical Bonds Bonding involves the electrons in the atoms Ionic Bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another _Cation__-an atom that loses electrons, positive charge _Anion__-an atom that gains electrons, negative charge

13. Ionic Bond NaCl

14. Covalent Bond H 2 O

15. Covalent Bonds Electrons are shared between atoms Single bond ______ electrons shared Double bond ______ electrons shared Triple bond _______ electrons shared Molecule- smallest unit of most compounds -formed when atoms bond covalently

16. van der Waals forces Intermolecular forces of attraction Molecules get close together and attraction develops between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules

17. Gecko Gecko’s foot covered by half a million tiny hairs Comes in contact with a large area of the wall at molecular level
