I. Atoms

A. the basic unit of matter B. matter is anything that takes up space and

has massC. all things are made of atomsD. microscopic … need special microscope to

view1. 100 million atoms lined up in a row

would only measure 1 cm long

E. Atomic Structure/components1. Subatomic particles:

a. protons 1- positive charge

2- mass weight 1.0073 b. neutrons 1- no charge 2- mass weight 1.0087 c. electrons 1- negative charge 2- mass weight 0.000549

All atoms have the same amt of protons and electrons

Atomic number - # of protons Atomic Mass - #p + #n

II. Elements & Isotopes A. Element is a substance that cannot be broken down B. Elements are made up of lots and lots of the same kind of atom C. more than 100 elements known 1. represents with a single or 2 letters D. only about 2 dozen in living organisms 1. examples – Ca, O, H, C, N, P, K, S, Na, Li, Zn, Mg, Cu, Fe, Se, I, F Co, Al, Si, Br, Ar, Mn, Sr, Pb, V E. Essential Elements of Life: C H N O P S Ca K

F. Isotopes 1. atoms of the same element that have differ masses due to the differ number of neutrons on the nucleus a. example: Carbon -12 ; Carbon -13; Carbon – 14 b. all isotopes have the same chemical properties

G. Radioactive Isotopes 1. isotopes that give off radioactivity and have unstable nuclei 2. these isotopes break down at a consist rate after a period of time 3. although very dangerous, can be helpful

a. Aging Fossils/Rocks b. Treat cancer c. Radioactive “tags” – trace substances d. PET scan (CT scan)

III. Compounds

A. a substance made of 2 or more elements 1. example – H2O

B. held together by chemical bonds

C. main types: - ionic- covalent bond- hydrogen - van der waals

Isotopes weight the same.

1. In number of neutrons only

2. In number of protons only

3. In number of protons & mass

4. In number of neutrons & mass

D. Ionic bonds 1. formed when 1 or more electrons are transferred from 1 atom to another a. opposite charges attract to form an ionic bond (Na(+)) (Cl(-)) b. when atoms lose electrons, the atoms becomes positive c. when atoms gain electrons, they become negative 2. when an atom becomes positively or negatively charged, they become known as ions a. if positively charged known as cation b. if negatively charged known as anion

E. Covalent bonds

1. forms when electrons are shared between atoms 2. Two types a. polar covalent

1- unequal sharing due to size differences 2- example: H2O

b. nonpolar covalent 1- equal sharing of electrons

F. Hydrogen Bonds

Hydrogen bond is the weak attraction between δ+ of H and δ- of O or N of a different molecule

G. Van der Waals Interactions 1. Electrons move creating weak positive and negatively charged regions (even if non- polar) 2. named after the scientist 3. can hold even large molecules together 4. geckos show this force

a. climbing up the smoothest surface, geckos can hold on even with 1 toe b. a gecko foot is covered w/ half million projections

c. the projections are dived into 100s of tiny flat fibers designed to come onto contact with a surface at the molecular level

d. van der waals forces form btwn the surface molecules and the gecko foot

e. when a gecko wants to move it peels its foot off at angle then reapplies it elsewhere on the surface
