Chapter Two: Matter
Matter
 Atom-basic unit of matter
 1. Subatomic particles- protons, neutrons, electrons
 A. Protons- positive charge, center of atom (nucleus)
 B. Neutron- neutral, center of atom
 C. Electrons- negative charge, in constant motion around
nucleus
Matter
 Elements- pure substance that consists entirely of one
type of atom
 1. Represented by symbol
 2. Atomic number- number of protons in an atom
 Number of protons = number of electrons
 3. Atomic mass- protons and neutrons
 A. Number of neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
Matter
 4. Electron Cloud- area around nucleus where
electrons are orbiting

1st level- holds 2 electrons
2nd level- holds 8 electrons
3rd level- holds 8 electrons

 Atomic number:
 Atomic mass:
 Number of protons:
 Number of neutrons:
 Number of electrons:
 Isotopes- atoms that have an equal number of protons
but different number of neutrons
 Radioactive isotopes- nuclei are unstable and break down
at a constant rate over time
 Geologists determine age of rocks and fossils by analyzing
the isotopes in them
 Radiation from some isotopes are used to treat cancer
 Used as tracers
 Compounds- substance formed by the chemical
combination of two or more elements in definite
proportions
 Example – H2O
 Chemical Bonds
 Valence electrons- electrons that are available to form
bonds
 Ionic bonds- when one or more electrons are transferred
from one atom to another
 Example- NaCl
 Covalent bond- forms when electrons are shared between atoms
 Example- H2O
 Ions- positive or negative charged atom
 Positive charge= lose an electron
 Negative charge = gain an electron
 Molecules- the smallest unit of most compounds, the structure
that results when atoms are joined together by covalent bonds
 Subscript- number of atoms
 Coefficient- number of molecules of a compound
element
number of atoms
 H2O
 2H2O2
 Van derWaals Foreces- when molecules are close together, a
slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged
regions of nearby molecules
 Example: Geckos
 Physical Changes: change in form of substance not the
chemical makeup
 Ex: size, shape, states of matter
 Chemical changes- a substance changes into a new substance
 Example: rusting, digesting, rotting
Properties of Water
 Most abundant compound in living things
 Covers ¾ ‘s of Earth’s surface
 Expands when it freezes so ice is less dense than liquid
water
 Water molecule- neutral
 1. polarity- an uneven sharing of electrons between the O and
H atoms
 Example: DRAW A WATER MOLECULE
3. Hydrogen bonds
 Water can have as many as four H bonds at the same time
 A. cohesion- attraction between molecules of same substance
 Surface tension- the force that occurs because of cohesion
 Example- insect walk on water, drops of water form beads on smooth
surface
 B. adhesion- attraction between molecules of different substances
 Example- meniscus- the adhesion between water molecules and
graduated cylinder are stronger than the cohesion between water
molecules
 1. Capillary action- adhesion causes H20 to rise in a narrow tube
 A. Example- draw H20 out of roots of plant and up into the stem
and leaf
B. Solutions and Suspensions
 1. Mixture- a material composed of two or more elements or
compounds that are physically mixed together but not chemically
combined
 Example- salt and pepper, sugar water
 A. Solution-mixture of two or more substances in which the molecules
of the substances are evenly distributed
 1. Example- Salt water
 Solute- the substance that is dissolved (salt)
 Solvent- the substance in which the solute
is dissolved (water)
 H2O- the greatest solvent of Earth
 B. Suspensions- mixture of water and undissolved materials
C. Acids, Bases, pH
 1. pH scale- indicates the concentration of H ions in solution
 A. 0-14
 pH 7 = neutral, concentration of H ions and OH ions are equal
 Example- pure water
 pH below 7= acidic, more H ions than OH ions
 pH above 7= basic, more OH ions than H ions
Basic
C. Acids, Bases, pH
 2. Acids- a compound that forms H ions in solution pH of
1-3 = strong acid
 Example- HCl
 3. Bases- compound that produces hydroxide (OH) pH of
11-14 = strong base
 Example- lye , NaOH
III. Carbon Compounds
 Organic Chemistry- study of all compounds that contain bonds
between carbon atoms
 A. Chemistry of carbon
 1. carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms to form very long
chains
 B. Macromolecules- very large molecules
 1. monomers- smaller unit that can join together with other small
units to form polymers
 2. polymers- large compound formed from combinations of many
monomers
3. Dehydration synthesis
 The formation of a chemical bond by removing a water
molecule
4 types of macromolecules:
 Carbohydrates
 Lipids
 Nucleic acids
 Protein
Carbohydrates:
 compounds made up of C, H, O atoms in a 1:2:1 ratio
 A. living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy
 B. living things store extra sugar as starch (long chains of sugar molecules )
 C. monosaccharides- single sugar molecules
 Ex: glucose, galactose (milk), fructose (fruit)
 Disaccharides- sugars made up of two covalently bonded monosaccharides
 Ex: sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar)
 D. polysaccharides- large macromolecules formed from monosaccharides
 Example: glycogen (animal starch), causes muscle contractions
 Example: cellulose- tough fibers that give plants much of their strength and
rigidity. Major component of wood and paper
2. Lipids
 Macromolecules made mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms
and are not soluable in H2O
 A. stores energy, waterproof coverings, steroids
 B. example- fats, oils, waxes
 2 types:
 1. saturated- solid at room temp
 Example: butter
 2. unsaturated- liquid at room temp
 Example: olive oil
3. Nucleic Acids
 Macromolecules that contain H, O, N, C, and P which are
formed from Nucleotides (Page 47)
 A. nucleotide (monomer)- consists of sugar, phosphate,
nitrogen base
 B. Store and transmit genetic info
 C. 2 kinds DNA – deoxyribose nucleic acid sugar = deoxyribose
 RNA- ribonucleic acid sugar = ribose
4. Protein
 Polymers of amino acids which are made of N, C, H, O. They
control rate of reactions, build bones and muscles
 A. 20 different amino acids
 B. instructions for arranging amino acids into different proteins
which are stored in DNA
 C. each protein has a specific role
 D. have an amino group (-NH2) on one end, a carboxyl group (COOH) on the other end and an R group. The R group makes
proteins different.
IV. Chemical Reactions and Enzymes
 A. Chemical reactions- process that changes one set of
chemicals into another
 Example: Iron (Fe) + O
 H+ O
rust
H2O
 Reactants- what you start with
 Products- what’s produced
Subscript
B. Energy Changes
 1. Chemical reactions release energy- exothermic
 A. occur spontaneously
 B. energy released in form of heat
 2. Chemical reactions that absorb energy- Endothermic
 A. will not occur without a source of energy
 B. in plants, the energy comes from sun in animals, the energy
comes from food
Activation Energy and Catalysts
 C. Activation Energy -the energy needed to get a reaction started
 D. Catalysts- substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical
reaction
 1. Catalysts lower a reaction’s activation energy
 Enzymes- proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up
chemical reactions in cells
 A. substrate- reactant of an enzyme- catalyzed reaction
 B. Substrates bind to a site on the enzyme called the active site
 C. Enzyme-Substrate Complex- the enzyme and substrate comes
together to form this
 D. “Lock and Key” model- the fit of the enzyme
and the substrate is so precise that the fit is often
referred to as this
