Chemical Elements
„
Matter refers to anything that has mass and
takes up space.
„
Atoms
„
„
92 naturally occurring elements.
„
Atoms are the smallest unit of matter.
„
Only six make up 98% body weight of organisms.
„
Elements grouped in periodic table based on
individual characteristics.
„
„
Vertical columns are groups.
Horizontal
o o a rows
o are
a periods.
p od
Protons and neutrons found in nucleus.
„
CHNOPS
„ Carbon
„ Hydrogen
„ Nitrogen
„ Oxygen
„ Phosphorus
„ Sulfer
Electrons orbit nucleus.
Mass number equals sum of protons and neutrons.
„ Atomic number refers to number of protons.
„
Periodic Table
„
Atomic symbol represents each element.
Isotopes
„
Isotopes are atoms of the same element
with a differing number of neutrons.
„
„
„
„
Therefore some atoms of the same element
will
ill weigh
i h different
diff
amounts.
H 1 no neutron
H 2 1 neutron
Total population determines weight H= 1.007
thus most H is H 1

Electrons
„
Electron Orbitals
In an electrically neutral atom, positive
charges of protons are balanced by the
negative
g
charges
g of electrons.
„
„
„
„
Orbital is the volume of space where an
electron is most likely to be found.
„
„
„
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus, and thus
energy is required to push electrons into higher
orbits.

F=1s22s22p5
Ne=1s22s22p6
Notice the pattern?
Total the superscripts ad you get the atomic number
Elements and Compounds
„
„
Molecule - Two or more atoms bonded
together.
Compound - Two or more different types
of atoms bonded together.
Ionic Bonding
„
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons
are stolen from one atom to another.
„
Electron transfer causes a charge imbalance
in each atom.
„
Ions
„
Electron orbitals are the position of the
electron in relation to the energy that it uses.
We will look at s and p orbitals
S orbitals
bit l hold
h ld 2 electrons
l t
P orbitals hold 6 electrons
H =1 s1
He=1s2 This element has a full shell and is
happy
Notice all elements in column 18 are happy

Na=1s22s22p63s1
Na+ =1s22s22p6 Missing an electron

thus + charged
Cl = 1s22s22p63s23p5
Cl--=1s22s22p63s3p6 Gained an electron
Cl
thus – charged
These combine to form a matrix due to charges

Covalent Bonding
„
Covalently Bonded Molecules
Covalent bonds are formed when two
atoms share electrons so that each atom
has a complete
p
outer shell.
„
Molecule Shapes
„
Molecules have threethree-dimensional shapes.
„
Models
„ Ball and stick
„ Space
Space--filling
Covalent Bonding
„
„
Nonpolar covalent bonds are formed when
sharing of electrons between atoms is
equal.
q
Polar covalent bonds are formed due to
unequal sharing of electrons between
atoms.
Electronegativity
„
„
Hydrogen Bonding
„
A hydrogen bond is formed when polarity
within a water molecule causes the
hydrogen
y g atoms in one molecule to be
attracted to the oxygen atoms in the other
water molecules.
„
Weak and easily broken.
„
Electronegativity is the attraction of an
atom for the electrons in a covalent bond
Most electronegative is F
Charge gradient
„
„
„
„
Many together can be quite strong.
„
On one extreme is stealing on the other is
sharing or
On one extreme is ionic on the other is
covalent bonding
H bonding is in the middle

Water Molecule
Properties of Water
„
High Heat Capacity
„
„
Large number of hydrogen bonds absorb heat
without a large
g change
g in temperature.
p
High Heat of Vaporization
„
Large number of hydrogen bonds must be
broken to evaporate water.
Properties of Water
„
Solvent
„
„
„
„
„
Hydrophilic - Attracts water.
Hydrophobic - Cannot attract water.
A solution contains dissolved solutes
solutes..
Frozen water less dense than liquid water.
„
„
Ice acts as an insulator on top of a frozen
bodyy of water.
Melting ice draws heat from the environment.
Cohesive and Adhesive
„
„
Properties of Water
Water can be drawn up a tubular vessel.
High Surface Tension
Acids and Bases
„
„
Acids are substances that dissociate in
water and release hydrogen ions (H+).
Bases are substances that either take up
hydrogen ions (H+) or release hydroxide
ions (OH-).
pH Scale
„
pH scale used to indicate acidity and
basicity of a solution.
„
Ranges from 00-14
7 = Neutral
>7 = Base
„ <7 = Acid
