Chemistry Review - Elements
• Pure substance made up of only one kind
of atom
• 90 occur naturally
• 25 essential to life: O, C, H, N
– 0= 65%, C=18.5%, H=9.5%, N=3.2%
• Atom: smallest unit of matter that cannot
be broken down by chemical means.
Chemistry Review Atoms
• Three major parts. (Pg24)
– Protons: Positive Charge. Inside Nucleus
– Neutrons: Neutral Charge. Inside
Nucleus:
– Electrons: Negative Charge. Outside
Nucleus
• 2 electrons in first shell
• 8 electrons in the second shell
• Eight is Great! Will not React with other
atoms.
• If the outer shell is not full it will react.

Combining Chemicals
Periodic
Table
Bonding
• Compound: When two or more different
elements combine.
• Hydrogen Bond: H2O
– When hydrogen bonds with a highly electronegative
atom (O or N). Creates a polar molecule.
• Covalent bond: CO2
– When atoms on the same side of the chart (same
size) bond. Share electrons.
• Can be polar or nonpolar
• Both Hydrogen and Covalent bonds form
molecules, ionic bonds do not.

Example of a chemical reaction
Combining Chemicals continued
• Ionic Bonds: When atoms on different
sides of the chart (different size) bond.
Steal electrons. Create Ions
• Ion: Charged particle either negative or
positive.
• NaCl = table salt

Checkpoint
• What are the meanings of atomic
number, mass number, ion and
molecule?
• What is the significance of the
valence (outer) shell of an atom?
• Distinguish among ionic, covalent,
and hydrogen bonding.
Solution
• A mixture in which one or more
substances are evenly distributed in
another substance.
• Solute: smaller word, smaller thing
• Solvent: bigger word, bigger thing
The Importance of Water
• Polar molecule (it has a negative and positive
charge.)
– Can dissolve both Ionic and Polar-Covalent
molecules
• Surface Tension
– Cohesion: Sticks to itself.
– Adhesion: Like a band-aid. Sticks to stuff
• Capillary Action: Climbs up thin tubes
Organic Compounds:
All organic compounds contain Carbon.
• Nucleic Acids: pg. 39 DNA and
RNA
–Made of nucleotides: Sugar,
Phosphate, and a Nitrogen
Base. A::T, C:::G, U
• ATP: energy cells run on.
