wipe out societies and even whole civilizations.
• Droughts are catastrophic because life cannot exist
without water.

eventually end up at the chemical level.
• Chemical reactions are always occurring in the
human body.

The Structure of Atoms
• Atoms are composed of subatomic particles.
– A proton is positively charged.
– An electron is negatively charged.
– A neutron is electrically neutral.
• Most atoms have protons and neutrons packed
tightly into the nucleus.
– The nucleus is the atom’s central core.
– Electrons orbit the nucleus.

• Elements differ in the number of subatomic
particles in their atoms.
– The number of protons, the atomic number,
determines which element it is.
– Mass is a measure of the amount of material in
an object.
– An atom’s mass number is the sum of the
number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.

Isotopes
• Isotopes are alternate mass forms of an element.
• Isotopes
– have the same number of protons and electrons
but
– differ in their number of neutrons.

• The nucleus of a radioactive isotope decays
spontaneously, giving off particles and energy.
• Radioactive isotopes have many uses in research
and medicine.
– They can be used to determine the fate of atoms in
living organisms.
– They are used in PET scans to diagnose heart
disorders and some cancers.

• Uncontrolled exposure to radioactive isotopes can
harm living organisms by damaging DNA.

Electron Arrangement and the Chemical Properties
of Atoms
• Of the three subatomic particles, only electrons are
directly involved in the chemical activity of an atom.
• Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific
electron shells.
• The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the
greater its energy.
• The number of electrons in the outermost shell
determines the chemical properties of an atom.

Chemical Bonding and Molecules
• Chemical reactions enable atoms to give up or
acquire electrons, completing their outer shells.
• Chemical reactions usually result in atoms
– staying close together and
– being held together by attractions called chemical
bonds.

Ionic Bonds
• When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes
electrically charged.
– Charged atoms are called ions.
– Ionic bonds are formed between oppositely
charged ions.

Covalent Bonds
• A covalent bond forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of outer-shell electrons.
• Covalent bonds are the strongest of the various bonds.
• Covalent bonds hold atoms together in a molecule.
• The number of covalent bonds an atom can form is equal to the number of additional electrons needed to fill its outer shell.

Hydrogen Bonds
• Water is a compound in which the electrons in its
covalent bonds are not shared equally.
– This causes water to be a polar molecule, one
with an uneven distribution of charge.

• The polarity of water results in weak electrical
attractions between neighboring water molecules.
– These weak attractions are called hydrogen
bonds.

Chemical Reactions
• Cells constantly rearrange molecules by breaking
existing chemical bonds and forming new ones.
– Such changes in the chemical composition of
matter are called chemical reactions.
– A simple example is the reaction between oxygen
gas and hydrogen gas that forms water.

WATER AND LIFE
• Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for
3 billion years.
– Modern life remains tied to water.
– Your cells are composed of 70–95% water.
• The abundance of water is a major reason Earth is
habitable.

Water’s Life-Supporting Properties
• The polarity of water molecules and the hydrogen
bonding that results explain most of water’s life-
supporting properties.
– Water molecules stick together.
– Water has a strong resistance to change in
temperature.
– Frozen water floats.
– Water is a common solvent for life.

The Cohesion of Water
• Water molecules stick together as a result of
hydrogen bonding.
– This tendency of molecules of the same kind to
stick together is called cohesion.
– Cohesion is vital for the transport of water from the
roots to the leaves of plants.

• Surface tension is the measure of how difficult it is
to stretch or break the surface of a liquid.
– Hydrogen bonds give water an unusually high
surface tension.

How Water Moderates Temperature
• Because of hydrogen bonding, water has a strong
resistance to temperature change.
• Heat and temperature are related, but different.
– Heat is the amount of energy associated with the
movement of the atoms and molecules in a body of
matter.
– Temperature measures the intensity of heat.
• Water can absorb and store large amounts of heat
while only changing a few degrees in temperature.

• Water can moderate temperatures.
– Earth’s giant water supply causes temperatures to
stay within limits that permit life.
– Evaporative cooling occurs when a substance
evaporates and the surface of the liquid remaining
behind cools down.

The Biological Significance of Ice Floating
• When water molecules get cold enough, they move
apart, forming ice.
• A chunk of ice has fewer water molecules than an
equal volume of liquid water.
• Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid
water.

• If ice did not float, ponds, lakes, and even the
oceans would freeze solid.
• Life in water could not survive if bodies of water
froze solid.

Water as the Solvent of Life
• A solution is a liquid consisting of a homogeneous
mixture of two or more substances.
– The dissolving agent is the solvent.
– The dissolved substance is the solute.
• When water is the solvent, the result is an
aqueous solution.

• Observation: Human brains shrink as we age.
• Question: Can aerobic exercise slow or reverse
brain loss?
• Hypothesis: MRI scans will reveal differences
between people who regularly exercised
aerobically and those who did not.

• Prediction: Brains of active people shrink less
than the brains of less active people.
• Experiment: Twenty-nine people in their 60s and
70s exercised for three one-hour sessions per
week. A control group of 29 people engaged in
non-aerobic stretching exercises for the same
periods.
• Results: The aerobic group showed significant
increases in brain volume compared to the non-
aerobic group.

Acids, Bases, and pH
• A chemical compound that releases H+ to a
solution is an acid.
• A compound that accepts H+ and removes them
from solution is a base.
• To describe the acidity of a solution, chemists use
the pH scale.

• Buffers are substances that resist pH change.
• Buffers
– accept H+ ions when they are in excess and
– donate H+ ions when they are depleted.
• Increases in global CO2 concentrations may lead to
– the acidification of the oceans and
– ecological disasters.

Evolution Connection:
The Search for Extraterrestrial Life
• If life similar to ours has evolved elsewhere in the
universe, then it too would depend upon water.
• Researchers at NASA missions have found
evidence that water was once abundant on Mars.
• Microbial life may exist below the Martian surface.
