Nucleus Protons and Neutrons Subatomic Particles Protons mass


Nucleus – Protons and Neutrons

Subatomic Particles Protons – mass ~ 1 amu, charge = +1 Neutrons – mass ~ 1 amu, no charge Electrons – mass ~ 0, charge = -1

Atomic Number – Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom Mass Number – Total number of particles (Protons and Neutrons) in an atom

Isotopes –same element (# of protons) with different mass numbers (# of neutrons) Radioactive isotopes – isotopes that spontaneously decay Half-Life – the time for ½ of the isotopes to decay

IVA Atomic Number Atomic Mass

Electron Energy Levels st 1 Energy level holds 2 electrons nd 2 and Higher hold 8 electrons (Octet Rule)

Metals • Properties of Metals – Shiny – luster – Conductors (electricity and heat) – Malleable Solids (except Hg) • Metals – tend to lose electrons when forming ions • Usually 3 or less e-s in outer level

Metals • Properties of Metals – Shiny – luster – Conductors (electricity and heat) – Malleable Solids (except Hg) • Metals – tend to lose electrons when forming ions • Usually 3 or less e-s in outer level

Nonmetals • Properties of Nonmetals – Dull – Good insulators (heat and electricity) – Brittle solids or gases • Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when forming ions • Usually 5 or more electrons in outer level

Nonmetals • Properties of Nonmetals – Dull – Good insulators (heat and electricity) – Brittle solids or gases • Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when forming ions • Usually 5 or more electrons in outer level

Metalloids (Semiconductors) • Metalloids have some properties of both metals and nonmetals

Pursuit of Full or Empty Energy Levels Atoms are more stable when their outer E level is full or empty To achieve this they will Steal, Give up, or Share electrons



Ions – atoms that have gained or lost electrons when forming ionic bonds Cations – positive ions, have Ca+ions lost an electron (metals) Anions – negative ions, have gained electrons (nonmetals)



Ionic Bond – attraction between oppositely charged ions Covalent Bond – atoms share electrons to fill outer E level




Chemistry of Water Cohesion sticks to other water molecules

Chemistry of Water Adhesion sticks to other polar molecules

Chemistry of Water Specific Heat - holds large amounts of heat, stabilizes temperature Universal Solvent - dissolves most ionic compounds (salts)

Chemistry of Water Special Thermal Expansion Water increases in volume when it freezes Making ice less dense than liquid water

Water is the “Universal Solvent” Solution – a uniform mixture Solvent - dissolves the other substance Solute – substance that is dissolved


Hydrophilic water loving Ionic or polar substances (Salts) Hydrophobic water fearing nonpolar substances (oils)


Acids - p. H less than 7 + more H than OH ions Bases - p. H greater than 7 more OH- than H+ ions Neutral – p. H of 7 equal H+ and OH ions Buffer – controls p. H by + donating or accepting H

p. H – is based on powers of 10 p. H # is actually 10 -# p. H 7 is actually 10 -7 = 0. 0000001 p. H 1 is actually -1 = 10 0. 1 -12 = 10 p. H 12 is actually 0. 0000001


Chemical Reactions

Chemical Reactions Change Substances • Yeast + sugar => carbon dioxide and ethanol • Chemical Reactions – occur when substances undergo chemical changes to form new substances • Atoms are rearranged to form new compounds or molecules



Reactants and Products H 2 + O 2 => H 2 O Reactants – the substances that enter a reaction (left) Products – substances that are produced by the reaction (right)

Chemical Energy – energy stored in chemical bonds, can be released in a reaction Exothermic – (Exo = out)(therm = heat) Reactions that release energy as light, heat or sound Endothermic – (Endo – enter) Reactions that absorb energy form the environment

Activation Energy • All reactions need some energy to begin

Catalysts • Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a reaction, but are not used in the reaction • They lower the activation energy

Enzymes • Enzymes are protein catalysts in your cells • Substrate is the molecule targeted by the enzyme

Enzymes • Enzymes are protein catalysts in your cells • Substrate is the molecule targeted by the enzyme

Enzymes are Specific Each enzyme works on one reaction

Deactivated enzyme • p. H • Temperature
