Chemistry and Life
• All organisms share fundamental similarities in their chemical composition and basic metabolic processes
• The structure of atoms determines the way they form chemical bonds to produce complex compounds
• molecular biology• Chemistry and physics of the molecules that constitute
living things

Inorganic and Organic Compounds
• inorganic compounds • Small, simple substances • Biologically important groups include water, simple acids
and bases, and simple salts
• organic compounds• Generally large, complex carbon-containing compounds• Typically, two or more carbon atoms are bonded to each
other to form the backbone, or skeleton, of the molecule

2.1 ELEMENTS AND ATOMS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Name the principal chemical elements in living things and provide an important function of each
• Compare the physical properties (mass and charge) and locations of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Distinguish between the atomic number and the mass number of an
atom
• Define the terms orbital and electron shell; relate electron shells to principal energy levels

Elements
• elements • Substances that can’t be broken down into simpler
substances by ordinary chemical reactions• Each element has a chemical symbol (Example: C for
carbon)
• Four elements (oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen) make up more than 96% of the mass of most organisms• Calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, are
present in smaller quantities• Iodine and copper are trace elements

Atoms and Matter
• atom• Smallest unit of an element that retains that element’s
chemical properties• Made up of tiny subatomic particles of matter
• matter• Anything that has mass and takes up space
![Page 8: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Subatomic Particles
• There are three basic types of subatomic particles:• An electron carries a unit of negative electric charge• A proton carries a unit of positive charge• A neutron is an uncharged particle
• Protons and neutrons compose the atomic nucleus
• Electrons move rapidly around the atomic nucleus
• In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons
![Page 9: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Atomic Number and the Periodic Table
• Every element has a fixed number of protons in the atomic nucleus (atomic number) which determines an atom’s identity and defines the element
• The periodic table is a chart of the elements arranged in order by atomic number and chemical behavior
• Bohr models represent the electron configurations of elements as a series of concentric rings
![Page 10: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Atomic Mass
• The mass of a subatomic particle is expressed in terms of the atomic mass unit (amu) or dalton
• One amu equals the approximate mass of a single proton or a single neutron; an electron is about 1/1800 amu
• The atomic mass of an atom equals the total number of protons and neutrons, expressed in amus or daltons
![Page 13: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Isotopes
• Most elements consist of a mixture of atoms with different numbers of neutrons and different masses
• isotopes• Atoms of the same element (having the same number of
protons and electrons) with varying numbers of neutrons
• The mass of an element is expressed as an average of the masses of its isotopes
![Page 15: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Isotopes of Carbon
![Page 16: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Radioisotopes
• Some isotopes are unstable and tend to break down (decay) to a more stable isotope (usually a different element)
• radioisotope• Unstable isotope that emits radiation as it decays• Example: 14C decays to 14N when a neutron decomposes
to form a proton and a fast-moving electron
• Radioactive decay can be detected by autoradiography, on photographic film
![Page 17: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Radioisotopes in Biology
• Radioisotopes such as 3H (tritium), 14C, and 32P can replace normal molecules and are used as tracers in research
• In medicine, radioisotopes are used for both diagnosis (such as thyroid function or blood flow) and treatment (such as cancer)
![Page 18: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Autoradiography
• Tritium (3H) incorporated into the DNA of a fruit fly

Atomic Orbitals and Energy
• Electrons move through characteristic regions of 3-D space (orbitals), each containing a maximum of 2 electrons
• The energy of an electron depends on the orbital it occupies
• Electrons in orbitals with similar energies (the same principal energy level) make up an electron shell
• Electrons farther from the nucleus generally have greater energy than those closer to the nucleus
![Page 20: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Valence Electrons
• The most energetic electrons (valence electrons) occupy the valence shell, represented as the outermost concentric ring in a Bohr model
• Valence electrons participate in chemical reactions
• An electron can move to a higher orbital by receiving more energy, or give up energy and sink to a lower orbital
• Changes in electron energy levels are important in energy conversions in organisms

2.2 CHEMICAL REACTIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Explain how the number of valence electrons of an atom is related to its chemical properties
• Distinguish among simplest, molecular, and structural chemical formulas
• Explain why the mole concept is so useful to chemists
![Page 33: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Valence Electrons
• Chemical behavior of an atom is determined by the number and arrangement of its valence electrons
• Atoms with full valence shells are unreactive
• When the valence shell is not full, an atom tends to lose, gain, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell
• Elements in the same vertical column (group) of the periodic table have similar chemical properties
![Page 34: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Compounds and Molecules
• Two or more atoms may combine chemically
• A chemical compound consists of atoms of two or more different elements combined in a fixed ratio
• Two or more atoms joined very strongly form a stable molecule
• Example: H20 (water) is a molecular compound
![Page 35: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Chemical Formulas
• A chemical formula is a shorthand expression that describes the chemical composition of a substance
• In a simplest formula (empirical formula), subscripts give the smallest ratios for atoms in a compound (e.g. NH2)
• A molecular formula gives the actual numbers of each type of atom per molecule (e.g. N2H4)
• A structural formula shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule (e.g. water, H—O—H)
![Page 36: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Mole
• The molecular mass of a compound equals the sum of the atomic masses of the component atoms of a single molecule
• The amount of a compound whose mass in grams is equivalent to its molecular mass is 1 mole (mol)
• Example:
• Molecular mass of water (H2O) is (hydrogen: 2 × 1 amu) + (oxygen: 1 × 16 amu) = 18 amu
• 1 mol of water is 18 grams (g)
![Page 37: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Mole (cont.)
• 1 mol of any substance has exactly the same number of atoms or molecules: 6.02 × 1023 (Avogadro’s number)
• Avogadro’s number allows scientists to calculate the number of atoms or molecules in sample simply by weighing it
• A 1 molar solution (1 M) contains 1 mol of a substance dissolved in a total volume of 1 liter (L)
![Page 38: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Chemical Reactions
• Chemical reactions, such as the reaction between glucose and oxygen, are described by chemical equations:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
• Substances that participate in the reaction (reactants) are written on the left side of the arrow
• Substances formed by the reaction (products) are written on the right side
![Page 39: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Chemical Reactions (cont.)
• Many reactions proceed forward and reverse simultaneously
• At dynamic equilibrium, the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3
• When this reaction reaches equilibrium, there will be more reactants (CO2 and H2O) than product (H2CO3)
![Page 40: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Key Concepts 2.2
• The chemical properties of an atom are determined by its highest-energy electrons, known as valence electrons
![Page 41: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

2.3 CHEMICAL BONDS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
• Distinguish among covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions
• Compare them in terms of the mechanisms by which they form and their relative strengths
![Page 44: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Chemical Bonds
• Atoms can be held together by chemical bonds
• Valence electrons dictate how many bonds an atom can form
• bond energy• Energy necessary to break a chemical bond
• Two types of strong chemical bonds: covalent and ionic
![Page 45: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds involve sharing electrons between atoms in a way that fills each atom’s valence shell
• A molecule consists of atoms joined by covalent bonds
• Example: hydrogen gas (H2)
• Unlike atoms linked by covalent bonds form a covalent compound
![Page 46: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Lewis Structure
• A simple way of representing valence electrons is to use dots placed around the chemical symbol of the element:
• Oxygen (6 valence electrons) shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to complete its valence shell of 8 – each hydrogen atom completes a valence shell of 2
![Page 47: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Carbon Bonds
• Carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell, all of which are available for covalent bonding (e.g. methane, CH4)

Single, Double, and Triple Covalent Bonds
• When one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms, the covalent bond is called a single covalent bond
• A double covalent bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared (represented by two parallel solid lines)
• A triple covalent bond is formed when three pairs of electrons are shared (represented by three parallel solid lines)

Molecular Shape and Function
• The functions of molecules in living cells are determined largely by their geometric shapes
• When atoms form covalent bonds, orbitals in valence shells may become rearranged (orbital hybridization), affecting the shape of the resulting molecule
• Example: In methane (CH4), the hybridized valence shell orbitals of the carbon form a tetrahedron
![Page 54: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
• electronegativity • A measure of an atom’s attraction for shared electrons in
chemical bonds (e.g. oxygen has high electronegativity)
• nonpolar covalent bond• When covalently bonded atoms have similar
electronegativities, electrons are shared equally
• polar covalent bond • Covalent bond between atoms that differ in
electronegativity; electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus of the atom with greater electron affinity
![Page 57: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Polar Molecules
• A polar covalent bond has two dissimilar ends (poles), one with a partial positive charge and the other partially negative
• A polar molecule has one end with a partial positive charge and another end with a partial negative charge
• Example: Water has a partial positive charge at the hydrogen end and a partial negative charge at the oxygen end, where “shared” electrons are more likely to be

Ions
• An atoms or group of atoms with 1 or more units of electric charge is called an ion
• Atoms with 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons to other atoms and become positively charged cations
• Atoms with 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons tend to gain electrons from other atoms and become negatively charged anions
![Page 62: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Functions of Ions
• The properties of ions are different from those of the electrically neutral atoms from which they were derived
• Electric charges of cations and anions provide a basis for energy transformations within the cell, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and other biological processes
![Page 63: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Ions and Biological Processes
• Sodium, potassium, and chloride ions are essential for a nerve cell to stimulate muscle fibers, initiating a muscle contraction
• Calcium ions in the muscle cell are required for muscle contraction

Ionic Bonds
• An ionic bond is formed by attraction between the positive charge of a cation and the negative charge of an anion
• An ionic compound is a substance consisting of anions and cations bonded by their opposite charges
• Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl), an ionic compound• When sodium reacts with chlorine, sodium’s single
valence electron is transferred completely to chlorine• Sodium becomes a cation (Na+); chlorine becomes an
anion (Cl−)

Ionic Compounds in Solution
• In the absence of water, ionic bonds are very strong
• Example: Electrical attraction in ionic bonds holds Na+ and Cl− together to form NaCl (sodium chloride, table salt)
• When placed in water, ionic compounds (such as sodium chloride) tend to dissociate into individual ions :
NaCl (in H2O) → Na+ + Cl–

Water as a Solvent
• Water is an excellent solvent, capable of dissolving many substances (solutes)
• Because of their polarity, water molecules easily dissolve polar or ionic substances
• In solution, each cation or anion is surrounded by oppositely charged ends of the water molecules (hydration)

Hydrogen Bonds
• Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak bonds (easily formed and broken) that are very important in living organisms
• When hydrogen combines with a relatively electronegative atom, it acquires a partial positive charge
• Hydrogen bonds form between an atom with a partial negative charge and a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to oxygen or nitrogen
• Water molecules interact with one another extensively through hydrogen bond formation

van der Waals Interactions
• Adjacent molecules may interact in transient regions of weak positive and negative charge
• The resulting attractive forces (van der Waals interactions) operate over very short distances and are weaker and less specific than other types of interactions
• They are important when they occur in large numbers and when molecular shapes permit close contact between atoms

2.4 REDOX REACTIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
• Distinguish between the terms oxidation and reduction, and relate these processes to the transfer of energy
![Page 80: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Redox Reactions
• Many energy conversions involve oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions in which an electron (and its energy) is transferred from one substance to another
• oxidation • Chemical process in which an atom, ion, or molecule loses
one or more electrons
• reduction• Chemical process in which an atom, ion, or molecule gains
one or more electrons
![Page 81: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Redox Reactions (cont.)
• Redox reactions occur simultaneously; one substance accepts electrons that are removed from the other• The oxidizing agent accepts electrons and is reduced • The reducing agent gives up electrons and is oxidized
• In cells, oxidation often involves removal of a hydrogen atom (an electron plus a proton) from a covalent compound• Reduction often involves the addition of a hydrogen atom

Hydrogen Bonds Between Water Molecules
• Water molecules are polar
• Hydrogen bonds form between the partial positive charge (hydrogen) of one water molecule and the partial negative charge (oxygen) of a neighboring water molecule
• Each water molecule can form hydrogen bonds with up to four neighboring water molecules
![Page 88: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

Cohesion and Adhesion
• cohesion • Tendency of water molecules to stick to one another, due
to hydrogen bonds among molecules• Any force exerted on part of a column of water is
transmitted to the column as a whole• Major mechanism of water movement in plants
• adhesion• The ability of water to stick to other substances,
particularly those with charges on their surfaces• Explains how water makes things wet
![Page 90: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Capillary Action and Surface Tension
• capillary action• The tendency of water to move in narrow tubes, even
against the force of gravity• A combination of adhesive and cohesive forces
• surface tension • Molecules at water’s surface crowd together, producing a
strong layer as they are pulled downward by the attraction (cohesion) of water molecules beneath them
![Page 91: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Capillary Action
• Adhesion between water and glass in a narrow tube pulls other water up by cohesion
• In the wider tube, adhesion is not strong enough to overcome the cohesion below

Interactions with Water
• Because water molecules are polar, water dissolves many kinds of substances, and excludes others
• Hydrophilic (“water-loving”) substances interact easily with water (polar and ionic compounds)
• Hydrophobic (“water-fearing”) substances are not soluble in water (nonpolar molecules)
• Hydrophobic interactions occur between groups of nonpolar molecules, which cluster together in water
![Page 94: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Water and Temperature
• Water exists in three states, which differ in degree of hydrogen bonding: gas (vapor), liquid, and ice (crystalline)
• Adding heat energy makes molecules move faster (increases kinetic energy) and breaks hydrogen bonds
• heat• The total kinetic energy in a sample of a substance
• temperature• The average kinetic energy of the particles
![Page 95: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Water and Temperature (cont.)
• Much of the heat energy added is used to break hydrogen bonds – less energy is available to speed the movement of water molecules (increasing temperature)
• heat of vaporization• Amount of heat energy required to change 1 g of a

Water and Temperature (cont.)
• evaporative cooling• As water is heated, some molecules move faster than
others and are more likely to evaporate, taking heat with them and lowering the temperature of the water
• Humans dissipate excess heat as sweat evaporates
• specific heat• A large amount of energy is required to raise the
temperature of water (1 cal/g of water per degree Celsius)• Maintains constant environmental temperatures

Water and Temperature (cont.)
• Hydrogen bonding causes ice to have unique properties with important environmental consequences
• Liquid water expands as it freezes, making ice about 10% less dense than liquid water – ice floats on denser cold water
• Ice insulates liquid water below it, retarding freezing and permitting organisms to survive without freezing

2.6 ACIDS, BASES, AND SALTS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• Contrast acids and bases, and discuss their properties
• Convert the hydrogen ion concentration (moles per liter) of a solution to a pH value and describe how buffers help
minimize changes in pH
• Describe the composition of a salt and explain why salts are important in organisms
![Page 105: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Ionization of Water
• In pure water, a small number of water molecules dissociate into hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH−)
HOH ↔ H+ + OH−
• The concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in pure water are exactly equal
• Such a solution is said to be neutral – neither acidic nor basic
![Page 106: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Acids and Bases
• acid • Substance that dissociates in solution to yield hydrogen
ions (H+) and anion; a proton donor• Acid → H+ + anion
• base • Substance that dissociates in solution to yield a hydroxide
ion (OH−) and a cation; a proton acceptor• NaOH → Na+ + OH-
• OH- + H+ → H2O
![Page 107: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Acids and Bases (cont.)
• Some bases do not dissociate to yield hydroxide ions directly
• Example: Ammonia (NH3) acts as a base by accepting a proton from water, producing an ammonium ion (NH4
+) and releasing a hydroxide ion:
• NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH−
![Page 108: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
pH
• A solution’s acidity is expressed in terms of pH
• pH• The negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion
concentration [H+] (expressed in moles per liter):
• pH = −log10[H+]
• The negative logarithm corresponds to a positive pH value• Pure water has a hydrogen ion concentration of 0.0000001
(10—7 mol/L) • Logarithm = −7; pH is 7
![Page 109: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
pH of Solutions
• neutral solution (pH 7)• Equal concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions
(concentration of each is 10−7 mol/L)
• acidic solution (pH <7)• Hydrogen ion concentration is higher than hydroxide ion
concentration
• basic solution (pH >7)• Hydrogen ion concentration is lower than hydroxide ion
concentration

pH Values
• pH of most plant and animal cells (and their environment) ranges from around 7.2 to 7.4

Buffers Minimize pH Change
• Homeostatic mechanisms maintain appropriate pH values
• Example: pH of human blood is about 7.4 and must be maintained within very narrow limits
• buffer• Substance that resists changes in pH when an acid or
base is added• A buffering system includes a weak acid or a weak base
![Page 115: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
A Buffering System
• In blood, carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, a weak acid that dissociates to yield H+ and bicarbonate:
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3–
• Addition of excess hydrogen ions shifts the system to the left, as H+ combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonic acid
• Addition of hydroxide ions shifts the system to the right
![Page 116: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Formation of Salts
• When an acid and a base are mixed in water, anions from the acid and cations from the base combine to form a salt
• salt • Compound in which the hydrogen ion of an acid is
replaced by some other cation• Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a salt in which the
H+ of HCl has been replaced by the cation Na+
• HCl + NaOH → H2O + NaCl
![Page 117: Www.cengage.com/biology/solomon Albia Dugger Miami Dade College Eldra Solomon Linda Berg Diana W. Martin Chapter 2 Atoms and Molecules: The Chemical Basis](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020714/551a764f550346b52d8b5193/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Salts (cont.)
• When a salt, acid, or base is dissolved in water, its dissociated ions (electrolytes) can conduct an electric current
• Animals and plants contain a variety of dissolved salts (important mineral ions) essential for fluid balance and acid–base balance
• Homeostatic mechanisms maintain concentrations and relative amounts of various cations and anions
