Chapter 2 Elements are made of a single kind of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical means into simpler substances. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Six elements (C, H, N, O, P, and S) are commonly found in living things. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 1 Composition of Matter Isotopes • Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons are called isotopes. • A neutron has no charge, so there is no change in charge • A neutron has mass, so the mass of an isotope is different Since Isotopes have the same number of electrons, all isotopes of an element will have the same properties of an element Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Polarity • Water is considered to be a polar molecule due to an uneven distribution of charge. • The electrons in a water molecule are shared unevenly between hydrogen and oxygen. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Polarity, continued • Solubility of Water – The polarity of water makes it effective at dissolving other polar substances such as sugars, ionic compounds, and some proteins. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Hydrogen Bonding • A hydrogen bond is the force of attraction between a hydrogen molecule with a partial positive charge and another atom or molecule with a partial or full negative charge. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Hydrogen Bonding, continued • Temperature Moderation – Water has the ability to absorb a relatively large amount of energy as heat – This property is called specific heat, the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a material by 1 degree Celsius – and the ability to cool surfaces through evaporation. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Acids and Bases • Ionization of Water – Water ionizes into hydronium ions (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH–). • Acids – Acidic solutions contain more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. 1-6.9 • Bases – Basic solutions contain more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions. 7.1-14 Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Chapter 2 Section 3 Water and Solutions Acids and Bases, continued • pH – Scientists have developed a scale for comparing the relative concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in a solution. This scale is called the pH scale, and it ranges from 0 to 14. – pH of 7 is neutral • Buffers – Buffers are chemicals that neutralize the effects of adding small amounts of either an acid or a base to a solution. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. During exercise, muscles use up oxygen as they convert chemical energy in glucose to mechanical energy. This causes chemical changes in the blood, which causes the pH of the blood to drop. If the pH of the body gets too low (below 7.4), a condition known as acidosis results. Ideal blood pH is 7.4. If the pH drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, death may occur. Buffers in the blood protect against large changes in pH. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Chapter 3 Section 1 Carbon Compounds Organic compounds contain carbon atoms and are found in living things. Most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon atoms. Carbon atoms can readily form four covalent bonds with other atoms including other carbon atoms. The carbon bonds allow the carbon atoms to form a wide variety of simple and complex organic compounds. Chapter menu Resources Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.
