Draguesku Chemistry 0113 GLUCOSE 1 What is Chemistry anyway?? I have written the definition below for you Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Chemistry is: The study of matter; its properties and composition; the changes that matter undergoes. BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY 1. ORGANIC: The study of compounds that contain carbon My friend told me that I am made of CARBON. Is that right?? Yes all animals (including humans) are a carbon based life forms 2 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 2. INORGANIC: The study of compounds that do not contain carbon 3. Biochemistry The study of the chemicals and chemical reactions in living things But I thought this was BIOLOGY!! Why do am I learning about chemistry??? Because Life requires about 25 chemical elements 3 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 All Matter is made up of Chemical Elements CHEMICAL ELEMENT is a substance that cannot be broken down into another substance by ordinary means Elements have only ONE kind of atom Most abundant: 96.3% O= Oxygen C = Carbon H= Hydrogen N=Nitrogen 4 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Greek word that means Unable to cut Atoms are the basic unit of Matter Made up of 3 Sub Atomic Particles Proton Neutron + charge 0 charge Electron - charge atom 5 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 1. Neutrons are Neutral which means they have no charge 2. Protons have a positive (+) charge 3. Electrons have a negative (-) charge He=helium 6 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Negative charge Orbit the nucleus at the speed of light So fast that they look like an electron cloud surrounding the nucleus The cloud is larger than the nucleus 7 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 # of protons = # of electrons That means there is no charge Atom is neutral The # of PROTONS = THE ATOMIC NUMBER The number of protons in an atom is unique for each element 8 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Example: He (Helium) has 2 protons therefore the ATOMIC NUMBER is 2 Also called Atomic Mass= ATOMIC WEIGHT # NEUTRONS + # PROTONS 9 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Name of element Atomic number Chemical symbol Atomic mass ISOTOPES Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons How do you Know??? 10 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 The number of neutrons will change the atomic mass EXAMPLE: CARBON 13, CARBON 14 ETC 11 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 The number of Electrons stays the SAME So the Chemical Properties stay the SAME IMPORTANT!! 12 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Some Isotopes are Radioactive That means they are Unstable This means that the nucleus breaks down over time USES FOR ISOTOPES Carbon dating o Age fossils and rocks Kill bacteria Medical diagnosis 13 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Uncontrolled exposure harms the organism. Especially the DNA! Electron arrangement determines the Chemical Properties of the atom. 14 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 The farther away the electron is from the nucleus the more energy it has. Electrons are located in the Electron shells Each shell has a limited number of electrons that can accommodated First shell = max 2 2nd shell = max 8 3rd shell (last shell) = max 8 (valence) 15 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Definition: 2 or more elements combine in a definite proportion (fixed ratio) The proportions are shown in the Chemical Formula Ex: H2O = 2 Hydrogen: 1 Oxygen 16 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Chemical properties of compounds are usually different from the elements that form it Ex.Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) are gasses But They combine to form a liquid…………..H2O Hold Atoms in compounds together 17 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Type definition Ionic bond Electrons are transferred from one atom to another Key word End result example Covalent Bond Electrons are shared between atoms Transferred Shared IONS Molecules atoms that The smallest unit in a are either compound (+) or (-) Na+ ClH2O 18 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~pgore/PhysicalScience/ionic_bond_animation.gif Ex: Sodium (Na) transfers an electron And becomes Positive. Chlorine (CL) gains an electron to become Negative 19 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Text book p. 38 20 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Hydrogen cannot give up its electron but it can share it with oxygen. To be stable (to complete the valence shell) oxygen must have 2 electrons shared. Van der Waals Forces The rapid movement of electrons can cause a slight (+) or (-) charge. Ex: a Gecko 21 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Necessary for life 1. Carbohydrates Contains: Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Includes: Sugar Starch (stored energy) Breaks down in the body To form GLUCOSE 22 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 2. Lipids (fats, oils and waxes) Contains: Carbon Hydrogen Function: Stores Energy Part of biological membranes Water proof coverings 23 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 3. Nucleic Acid (formed from Nucleotides) Contain: (made up of) Sugar Phosphate Nitrogenous Base Function: Store and transmit hereditary or genetic information 24 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 2 TYPES OF NUCLEIC ACID 1.DNA NUCLEIC ACID 2.RNA 4. Protein necessary for growth & repair of body structures Contain: always Hydrogen Sulfur Oxygen Phosphorus sometimes Carbon Nitrogen 25 Draguesku Chemistry 0113 Enzymes: A special type of protein REGULATES chemical activities in the body and other organisms Acts as a CATALYST (speeds up chemical reactions) 26
