Forms of Energy
Chemical energystored in bonds of
chemical substances
Electrical energyresults from movement of
charged particles
Mechanical energydirectly involved in
moving matter
Radiant or electromagnetic energyexhibits
wavelike properties (i.e., visible light,
ultraviolet light, and X-rays)
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Energy Form Conversions
Energy may be converted from one form to
another
Conversion is inefficient because some
energy is lost as heat

Elements
Cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical means
Each has unique properties:
Physical properties
Are detectable with our senses, or are
measurable
Chemical properties

Identifying Elements
Mass number = mass of the protons and
neutrons
Mass numbers of atoms of an element are not
all identical
Isotopes are structural variations of elements
that differ in the number of neutrons they
contain

Molecules and Compounds
Most atoms combine chemically with other
atoms to form molecules and compounds
Moleculetwo or more atoms bonded
together (e.g., H2 or C6H12O6)
Compoundtwo or more different kinds of
atoms bonded together (e.g., C6H12O6)
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mixtures
Most matter exists as mixtures
Two or more components physically intermixed
Three types of mixtures
Solutions
Colloids
Suspensions
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Solutions
Homogeneous mixtures
Usually transparent, e.g., atmospheric air or
seawater
Solvent
Present in greatest amount, usually a liquid
Solute(s)
Present in smaller amounts
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concentration of Solutions
Expressed as
Percent, or parts per 100 parts
Milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl)
Molarity, or moles per liter (M)
1 mole = the atomic weight of an element or
molecular weight (sum of atomic weights) of
a compound in grams
1 mole of any substance contains 6.02
1023 molecules (Avogadros number)
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Colloids and Suspensions
Colloids (emulsions)
Heterogeneous translucent mixtures, e.g.,
cytosol
Large solute particles that do not settle out
Undergo sol-gel transformations
Suspensions:
Heterogeneous mixtures, e.g., blood
Large visible solutes tend to settle out

Suspension
Solute particles are very
tiny, do not settle out or
scatter light.
Solute particles are larger
than in a solution and scatter
light; do not settle out.
Solute particles are very
large, settle out, and may
scatter light.

Mixtures vs. Compounds
Mixtures
No chemical bonding between components
Can be separated physically, such as by
straining or filtering
Heterogeneous or homogeneous
Compounds
Can be separated only by breaking bonds
All are homogeneous

Chemical Bonds
Electrons occupy up to seven electron shells
(energy levels) around nucleus
Octet rule: Except for the first shell which is
full with two electrons, atoms interact in a
manner to have eight electrons in their
outermost energy level (valence shell)
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chemically Inert Elements
Stable and unreactive
Outermost energy level fully occupied or
contains eight electrons

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ionic Bonds
Ions are formed by transfer of valence shell
electrons between atoms
Anions ( charge) have gained one or more
electrons
Cations (+ charge) have lost one or more
electrons
Attraction of opposite charges results in an
ionic bond

Chloride ion (Cl)
Sodium chloride (NaCl)
(a) Sodium gains stability by losing one electron, and
chlorine becomes stable by gaining one electron.
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
(b) After electron transfer, the oppositely
charged ions formed attract each other.

Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions
Decomposition reactions: Reactions in which
fuel is broken down for energy
Also called exchange reactions because
electrons are exchanged or shared differently
Electron donors lose electrons and are
oxidized
Electron acceptors receive electrons and
become reduced
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chemical Reactions
All chemical reactions are either exergonic or
endergonic
Exergonic reactionsrelease energy
Catabolic reactions
Endergonic reactionsproducts contain more
potential energy than did reactants
Anabolic reactions
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chemical Reactions
All chemical reactions are theoretically reversible
A + B AB
AB A + B
Chemical equilibrium occurs if neither a forward nor
reverse reaction is dominant
Many biological reactions are essentially irreversible
due to
Energy requirements
Removal of products

Rate of Chemical Reactions
Rate of reaction is influenced by:
temperature rate
particle size rate
concentration of reactant rate
Catalysts: rate without being chemically
changed
Enzymes are biological catalysts
