2-1 Atoms and Atomic Structure
• Elements and Isotopes
• Elements are determined by the atomic number of an
atom
• Remember atomic number = number of protons
• Elements are the most basic chemicals
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
2-1 Atoms and Atomic Structure
• Elements and Isotopes
• Isotopes are the specific version of an element based
on its mass number
• Mass number = number of protons plus the number of
neutrons
• Only neutrons are different because the number of
protons determines the element
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
2-1 Atoms and Atomic Structure
• Atomic Weights
• Exact mass of all particles
• Measured in moles
• Average of the mass numbers of the isotopes
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
2-1 Atoms and Atomic Structure
• Electrons and Energy Levels
• Electrons in the electron cloud determine the reactivity of an
atom
• The electron cloud contains shells, or energy levels that hold a
maximum number of electrons
• Lower shells fill first
• Outermost shell is the valence shell, and it determines
bonding
• The number of electrons per shell corresponds to the number
of atoms in that row of the periodic table

2-2 Molecules and Compounds
• Ionic Bonds
• One atom—the electron donor—loses one or more
electrons and becomes a cation, with a positive
charge
• Another atom—the electron acceptor—gains those
same electrons and becomes an anion, with a
negative charge
• Attraction between the opposite charges then draws
the two ions together

1 A sodium (Na) atom loses an
electron, which is accepted by a chlorine (Cl) atom. 2 Because the
sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) ions have opposite charges, they are
attracted to one another. 3 The association of sodium and chloride
ions forms the ionic compound sodium chloride.

disproportionately strong pull on the electrons
• Form polar molecules — like water

Reactions
In a description of a chemical reaction, the participants at the start of the reaction are called
reactants, and the reaction generates one or more products. An arrow indicates the direction of
the reaction, from reactants (usually on the left) to products (usually on the right). In the following
reaction, two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to produce a single molecule
of water.
VISUAL REPRESENTATION
Chemical reactions neither create nor destroy
atoms; they merely rearrange atoms into new
combinations. Therefore, the numbers of atoms
of each element must always be the same on
both sides of the equation for a chemical
reaction. When this is the case, the
equation is balanced.

Ions
A superscript plus or minus sign following the symbol of an element indicates an ion. A single plus
sign indicates a cation with a charge of 1. (The original atom has lost one electron.) A single minus
sign indicates an anion with a charge of 1. (The original atom has gained one electron.) If more than
one electron has been lost or gained, the charge on the ion is indicated by a number preceding the
plus or minus sign.

Water molecule. In a
water molecule, oxygen
forms polar covalent
bonds with two
hydrogen atoms.
Because both hydrogen
atoms are at one end of
the molecule, it has an
uneven distribution of
charges, creating
positive and negative
poles.

Sodium chloride in
solution. Ionic compounds,
such as sodium chloride,
dissociate in water as the
polar water molecules break
the ionic bonds in the large
crystal structure. Each ion in
solution is surrounded by
water molecules, creating
hydration spheres.

Glucose in solution.
Hydration spheres also
form around an organic
molecule containing
polar covalent bonds. If
the molecule binds
water strongly, as does
glucose, it will be
carried into solution—in
other words, it will
dissolve. Note that the
molecule does not
dissociate, as occurs
for ionic compounds.

Linear chain of amino acids
Primary structure. The
primary structure of a
polypeptide is the

so on) along
bond
its length.

Alpha-helix
Secondary structure. Secondary structure is primarily the result of
hydrogen bonding along the length of the polypeptide chain. Such
bonding often produces a simple spiral (an alpha-helix) or a flattened
arrangement known as a pleated sheet.

Heme units
Tertiary structure. Tertiary
structure is the coiling and folding
of a polypeptide.
Hemoglobin
(globular protein)
Quaternary structure.
Quaternary structure develops
when separate polypeptide
subunits interact to form a larger
molecule. A single hemoglobin
molecule contains four globular
subunits.

2-11 Proteins
• Fibrous Proteins
• Structural sheets or strands
• Globular Proteins
• Soluble spheres with active functions
• Protein function is based on shape
• Shape is based on sequence of amino acids

2-11 Proteins
• Enzyme Function
• Enzymes are catalysts
• Proteins that lower the activation energy of a chemical
reaction
• Are not changed or used up in the reaction
• Enzymes also exhibit:
1. Specificity — will only work on limited types of
substrates
2. Saturation Limits — by their concentration
3. Regulation — by other cellular chemicals

•
Structure of Nucleic Acids
•
DNA and RNA are strings of nucleotides
•
Nucleotides
•
Are the building blocks of DNA and RNA
•
Have three molecular parts
1. A pentose sugar (deoxyribose or ribose)
2. Phosphate group
3. Nitrogenous base (A, G, T, C, or U)

2-12 Nucleic Acids
• DNA and RNA
• DNA is double stranded, and the bases form hydrogen bonds to hold
the DNA together
• Sometimes RNA can bind to itself but is usually a single strand
• DNA forms a twisting double helix
• Complementary base pairs
• Purines pair with pyrimidines
• DNA
• Adenine (A) and thymine (T)
• Cytosine (C) and guanine (G)
• RNA
• Uracil (U) replaces thymine (T)
