Module 1C – Basic Chemistry
Chemistry – the scientific study of the structure and properties of matter
Why do we study chemistry in a biology course?All living organisms are composed of chemicals. To understand life, we must understand the structure, function, and properties of these chemicals.

Objective # 6
List the 3 main types of subatomic particles and indicate the mass and electrical charge of each.

Objective # 7
Describe the basic structure of the atom and be able to define the following terms: nucleus, orbital, energy level, isotope, and ion.
5
Objective 7
Each atom is composed of:Protons and neutrons which are densely packed together in the central part of the atom called the nucleus.Electrons which are in constant motion around the nucleus.
[Note: most hydrogen atoms have no neutrons and atoms can lose some or all of their electrons]

Objective 7
As electrons move around the nucleus, they do not follow a specific path and it is impossible to say exactly where any specific electron is at any given time. However, the volume of space where there is a 90% chance of finding a particular electron is called its orbital.
8
Objective 7
Orbitals:hold a maximum of 2 electrons each.come in a variety of shapes, which are represented by probability clouds.several orbitals may be the same average distance from the nucleus and thus contain electrons of the same average energy. Such electrons are said to occupy the same energy level or shell.Energy levels or shells are often represented as concentric circles around the nucleus

Objective 7
The first energy level has one spherical orbital:

Objective 7
Here you can see a composite of all 5 orbitals found in the first 2 energy levels:
12
Objective 7
The higher the energy level, the farther from the nucleus the electrons tend to be , and the more energy they have:
3
13
Objective 7
Rules for filling energy levels:The first electrons enter the K shell, up to a maximum of 2.The next electrons enter the L shell, up to a maximum of 8.
14
Objective 7
The pattern for filling higher shells becomes more complex and will not concern us. However, what you should remember is that even though any shell beyond L can hold more than 8 electrons, it will not hold more than 8 when it is the outermost shell.
15
Objective 7
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes:

Objective 7
Normally, the number of electrons in an atom equals the number of protons and the overall charge of the atom is zero.
However, atoms often gain or lose electrons:If an atom gains electrons, it will have an extra negative charge for each electron gained.If an atom loses electrons, it will have an extra positive charge for each electron lost.
18
Objective 7
The gain of electron(s) is called reductionand the loss of electrons is called oxidation.Atoms that have gained or lost electrons and are no longer electrically neutral are called ions:
positive ions = cationsnegative ions = anions

Objective # 8
Define the term “element” and know the names and chemical symbols of the principle elements found in living organisms.
21
Objective 8
Element:A substance composed of only one type of atom – i.e. all the atoms have the same number of protons. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons. However, the number of neutrons and electrons can vary.
22
Objective 8
A copy of the Periodic Table can be seen on the next slide. Each box in the table represents one element.Elements found in living organisms in more than trace amounts are shaded in green . Of these, 4 elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen) make up about 96% of the mass of living organisms.

Objective # 9

Objective # 11
Explain the difference between an element, a compound, and a mixture.
30
Objective 11
Element: a substance composed of only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). The atoms may occur signally, or they may be joined to form molecules. The smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of the element is an atom. e.g. hydrogen
6
31
Objective 11
Compound: a substance composed of 2 or more elements that have been joined by chemical bonds. The smallest unit of a compound that retains the properties of the compound is a molecule. e.g. waterMixture: a combination of 2 or more substances that do NOT chemically combine and retain their individual properties. e.g. sugar mixed with salt
32
Objective # 12
Explain how the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom affects the number and type of chemical bonds the atom can form.
33
Objective 12
Electrons in the outermost shell are called:valence electrons
Atoms join together in ways that give each atom a stable outer shell of electrons:If the first shell is the outer shell, it is stable with 2 electrons.If any other shell is the outer shell, it is stable with 8 electrons.

Objective 12
How can an atom obtain a stable outer shell of electrons if it doesn’t already have one?Gain electronsLose electronsShare electrons
What determines which one?36
Objective 12
Different atoms attract their outer electrons with different intensity. The electronegativity of an atom is the amount of energy needed to remove electrons. The more strongly an atom attracts electrons, the higher its electronegativity.
7
37
Objective 12
In general:The closer the electrons are to the nucleus, the higher the electronegativity.The more nearly full the shell is, the higher the electronegativity.
38
Objective 12
39
Objective # 13
Discuss the mechanism involved in forming the following types of chemical bonds, describe their characteristics, and be able to give examples of each:
a) Ionic bondb) Nonpolar covalent bondc) Polar covalent bondd) Hydrogen bond
40
Objective 13a
Ionic bond: If an atom with a very high electronegativity comes near an atom with a very low electronegativity, there may be a transfer of electrons from the 2nd atom to the 1st to give both atoms a stable outer shell.The transfer of electrons produces oppositely charged ions that attract each other to form an ionic bond. e.g. Na and Cl

43
Objective 13b
Nonpolar covalent bond:If 2 atoms with the same electronegativity come near each other, neither can remove electrons from the other. However, they may share electrons to obtain a stable outer shell.Since the atoms have the same electronegativity the electrons are shared equally. e.g. two H atoms

Objective 13c
Polar covalent bond:If 2 atoms have different electronegativities, but the difference is not large enough to allow one atom to remove electrons from the other, they may share electrons unequally.The electrons tend to stay closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity. e.g. H2O:

Objective # 15
Describe the process of dissociation and be able to distinguish between acids, bases, and salts.
62
Objective 15
Because of the polar structure of water, many ionic and polar substances are pulled apart into oppositely charged ions when they dissolve in water. This is called ionization or dissociation.
63
Objective 15
Substances held together by relatively weak ionic bonds show a large amount of dissociation in water:
NaCl → Na+ + Cl-
These substances are called salts. Because they are good conductors of electricity, they are also called electrolytes.
64
Objective 15
Substances held together by stronger covalent bonds may also show some dissociation when dissolved in water:
CH3COOH → CH3COO- + H+
In fact, water itself undergoes a small amount of dissociation:
H2O → H+ + OH-
65
Objective 15
In pure water:[H+] = [OH-] = 1 x 10-7 M
In all aqueous solutions:[H+] [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 M2
This means as the [H+] increases, [OH-] decreases, and vice versa.
66
Objective 15
Substances that increase the [H+] of a solution are called acids:
HCl → H+ + Cl-
Substances that decrease the [H+] of a solution are called bases:
NaOH → Na+ + OH-
12
67
Objective # 16
Describe the pH scale and know how to use it.
68
Objective 16
pH is used to measure how acidic or basic a solution is.pH is defined as the negative log of the [H+] of a solution.If a solution has a [OH-] of 1x10-3 M,What is its [H+]?What is its pH?
69
Objective 16
70
Objective # 17
Explain the role that buffers play in living organisms.
71
Objective 17
A buffer is a substance that helps minimize the change in the pH of a solution when acids or bases are added.Buffers work by releasing H+ when their concentration falls and absorbing H+ when their concentration rises.
72
Objective 17
Relationship between pH andamount of base added
13
73
Objective 17
Buffers are important to living organisms because most cells can survive and function normally only within a relatively narrow pH range.
