Atoms: The Building Blocks of Elements
• An atom is the smallest particle of an
element that has the characteristics of that
element.
• Atoms are the basic building blocks of all
matter.
The structure of an atom
• The center of an atom is called the nucleus
(NEW klee us).
• All nuclei contain positively charged
particles called protons (p+).
• Most contain particles that have no charge,
called neutrons (n0).
The Structure of an atom
• The region of space surrounding the nucleus
contains extremely small, negatively charged
particles called electrons (e-)
Nucleus
Electron
energy
levels
• This region of
space is referred
to as an electron
cloud.
The Structure of an atom
• Because opposites attract, the negatively
charged electrons are held in the electron
cloud by the positively charged nucleus.
Electron energy levels
• Electrons exist
around the nucleus
in regions known
as energy levels.
Nucleus
8 protons (p+)
8 neutrons (n0)
Oxygen atom
• The first energy level can hold only two
electrons. The second level can hold a
maximum of eight electrons. The third
level can hold up to 18 electrons.
Electron energy levels
• Atoms contain equal numbers of electrons
and protons; therefore, they have no net
charge.
Isotopes of an Element
• Atoms of the same element always have the
same number of protons but may contain
different numbers of neutrons.
• Atoms of the same element that have
different numbers of neutrons are called
isotopes (I suh tophs) of that element.
Compounds and Bonding
• A compound is a substance that is composed
of atoms of two or more different elements
that are chemically combined.
• Table salt (NaCl)
is a compound
composed of the
elements sodium
and chlorine.
How covalent bonds form
• Atoms combine with other atoms only when
the resulting compound is more stable than
the individual atoms.
• For many elements, an atom becomes stable
when its outermost energy level is full.
• Sharing electrons with other atoms is
one way for elements to become stable.
How covalent bonds form
• Two hydrogen
atoms can combine
with each other
by sharing their
electrons.
• Each atom
becomes stable
by sharing its
electron with
the other atom.
Hydrogen molecule
How covalent bonds form

How covalent bonds form
• The attraction of
the positively
charged nuclei
for the shared,
negatively
charged
electrons holds
the atoms
together.
Hydrogen molecule
How covalent bonds form
• A covalent bond
holds the two
hydrogen atoms
together.
• A molecule is a
group of atoms
held together by
covalent bonds.
It has no overall
charge.
Water
molecule
How ionic bonds form
• An atom (or group of atoms) that gains or
loses electrons has an electrical charge and is
called an ion. An ion is a charged particle
made of atoms.
• The attractive
force between two
ions of opposite
charge is known as
an ionic bond.

Chemical Reactions
• Chemical reactions occur when bonds are
formed or broken, causing substances to
recombine into different substances.

Writing chemical equations
• In a chemical
reaction, substances
that undergo
chemical reactions,
are called reactants.
• Substances formed
by chemical
reactions, are called
products.
Writing chemical equations
• A molecule of table sugar can be represented
by the formula: C12H22O11.
• The easiest way to understand chemical
equations is to know that atoms are neither
created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
They are simply rearranged.
Mixtures and Solutions
• A mixture is a combination of substances in
which the individual components retain their
own properties.
• Neither component of the mixture changes.
Mixtures and Solutions
• A solution is a mixture in which one or more
substances (solutes) are distributed evenly in
another substance (solvent).
• Sugar molecules
in a powdered
drink mix
dissolve easily in
water to form a
solution.
Acids and bases
• Chemical reactions can occur only when
conditions are right.
• A reaction may depend on:
- energy availability
- temperature
- concentration of a substance
- pH of the surrounding environment
Acids and bases
• The pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a
solution is.
• A scale with values ranging from below 0 to
above 14 is used to measure pH.
More acidic
Neutral
More basic
Acids and bases
• Substances with a pH below 7 are acidic. An
acid is any substance that forms hydrogen
ions (H+) in water.
• A solution is neutral if its pH equals 7.
More acidic

More basic
Acids and bases
• Substances with a
pH above 7 are
basic. A base is any
substance that forms
hydroxide ions (OH-)
in water.

Question 4
Sodium and chlorine combine to form table
salt. What do you know to be true?
A. Sodium and chlorine are sharing electrons in
their outer energy levels.
B. Sodium and chlorine atoms have no overall
electrical charge.
Question 4
Sodium and chlorine combine to form table
salt. What do you know to be true?
C. Sodium and chlorine are less stable in the
compound sodium chloride.
D. Sodium and chlorine atoms in table salt have
full outer energy levels.
The answer is D. Sodium and chlorine
atoms combine because the resulting
compound, table salt, is more stable than
the individual atoms. Sodium loses an
electron in its outer energy level, chlorine
gains that electron in its outer energy
level, and an ionic bond is formed.
Section Objectives
• Relate water’s unique features to polarity.
• Identify how the process of diffusion occurs
and why it is important to cells.
Water and Its
Importance
• Water is perhaps the
most important
compound in living
organisms.
• Water makes up 70
to 95 percent of most
organisms.
Water is Polar
• Sometimes, when atoms form covalent bonds
they do not share the electrons equally. This
is called a polar bond.
Water is Polar
• A polar molecule is a molecule with an
unequal distribution of charge; that is,
each molecule has a positive end and a
negative end.
• Water is an example of a polar molecule.
• Water can dissolve many ionic
compounds, such as salt, and many other
polar molecules, such as sugar.
Water is Polar
• Water molecules also attract other water
molecules.
Hydrogen atom
• Weak hydrogen
bonds are formed
between positively
charged hydrogen
atoms and negatively
charged oxygen
atoms.
Hydrogen atom
Oxygen atom
Water resists temperature changes
• Water resists changes in temperature.
Therefore, water requires more heat to
increase its temperature than do most other
common liquids. (Specific Heat)
Water expands when it freezes
• Water is one of the
few substances that
expands when it
freezes.
• Ice is less dense
than liquid water so
it floats as it forms
in a body of water.
Early observations: Bownian motion
• In 1827, Scottish scientist Robert Brown used a
microscope to observe pollen grains suspended
in water. He noticed that the grains moved
constantly in little jerks, as if being struck by
invisible objects.
• This motion is now called Brownian motion.
• Today we know that Brown was observing
evidence of the random motion of atoms
and molecules.
The process of diffusion
• Diffusion is the net movement of particles from
an area of higher concentration to an area of
lower concentration.
• Diffusion results because of the random
movement of particles (Brownian motion).
• Three key factors—concentration,
temperature, and pressure—affect the rate
of diffusion.
The results of diffusion
• When a cell is in
dynamic equilibrium
moving
with its environment, Material
out of cell equals
material moving
materials move into
into cell
and out of the cell at
equal rates. As a
result, there is no net
change in concentration
inside or outside the cell.
Diffusion in living systems
• The difference in concentration of a substance
across space is called a concentration gradient.
• Ions and molecules diffuse from an area of
higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration, moving with the gradient.
• Dynamic equilibrium occurs when there
is no longer a concentration gradient.
Question 1
Explain why water is important to living
organisms.
Answer
Living organisms must have water for life
processes, because critical molecules and ions
must be free to move and collide, which only
happens when they are dissolved in water.
Water also transports materials in living
organisms, such as in blood or sap.
Question 2
+
Positively
charged end
How does
water's chemical
structure impact
its role in living
organisms?
+
―
Negatively
charged end
Because water is polar, it can dissolve many
ionic compounds and polar molecules. Water
has the property of capillary action that enables
plants to get water from the ground. Water also
resists temperature changes, which allows cells
to maintain homeostasis.
Question 3
Which of the following best describes diffusion?
A. slow process resulting from random
movement of particles
B. net movement of particles from area of low
concentration to area of high concentration
Question 3
Which of the following best describes diffusion?
C. rapid process that is unaffected by increases
in temperature
D. net movement of particles from high to low
concentrations that accelerates when
pressure decreases
The answer is A. Diffusion is a slow process
resulting from the random movement of
particles, and is the net movement of particles
from areas of high concentration to areas of
lower concentration.
Section Objectives:
• Classify the variety of organic compounds.
• Describe how polymers are formed and broken
down in organisms.
• Compare the chemical structures of
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic
acids, and relate their importance to living
things.
• Identify the effects of enzymes.
The Role of Carbon in Organisms
• A carbon atom has four electrons available for
bonding in its outer energy level. In order to
become stable, a carbon atom forms four
covalent bonds that fill its outer energy level.
The Role of Carbon in Organisms
• Two carbon atoms can form various types of
covalent bonds—single, double or triple.
Single Bond
Double Bond
Triple Bond
Molecular chains
• Carbon compounds vary greatly in size.
• When carbon atoms bond to each other, they
can form straight chains, branched chains, or
rings.
Molecular chains
• Small molecules bond together to form chains
called polymers. A polymer is a large molecule
formed when many smaller molecules bond
together.
The structure of carbohydrates
• A carbohydrate is a biomolecule
composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen with a ratio of about two
hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom for
every carbon atom.
The structure of carbohydrates
• The simplest type of carbohydrate is a
simple sugar called a monosaccharide (mah
noh SA kuh ride). (ie. glucose, fructose)
• The largest carbohydrate molecules are
polysaccharides, polymers composed of
many monosaccharide subunits. (ie.
potatoes, liver)
The structure of lipids
• Lipids are large biomolecules that are made
mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small
amount of oxygen. (ie. fats, oils, waxes)
• They are insoluble in water because their
molecules are nonpolar and are not attracted
by water molecules.
The structure of proteins
• A protein is a large, complex polymer
composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.
The structure of proteins
• The basic building blocks of proteins are
called amino acids.
• There are about 20 common amino acids that
can make literally thousands of proteins.
The structure of proteins
• Peptide bonds are covalent bonds formed
between amino acids.
The structure of proteins
• Proteins are the building blocks of many
structural components of organisms.
The structure of proteins
• Enzymes are important proteins found in
living things. An enzyme is a protein that
changes the rate of a chemical reaction.
• They speed the
reactions in
digestion of food.

The structure of nucleic acids
• A nucleic (noo KLAY ihk) acid is a complex
biomolecule that stores cellular information in
the form of a code.
• Nucleic acids are polymers made of smaller
subunits called nucleotides.
The structure of nucleic acids
• Nucleotides are arranged in three groups—a
nitrogenous base, a simple sugar, and a
phosphate group.
