Chemistry of Life
Atoms, elements & Molecules
Digital Text-"The Periodic Table"

2
Poll
The four most common elements found in living organisms are Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and
Carbon
Fluorine
Sodium
Potassium
3
Living things consist of atoms of different elements
Atom is the smallest basic unit of matter
4
All atoms share the same basic structure...
Protons (positive charge +)
Neutrons (Neutral charge )
Electrons (Negative charge -)
These smaller inner particles are located within the nucleus
5
All atoms share the same basic structure...
Multiple scientists spent years to describe or model what the atom looked like
John Dalton was the first to say that all matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms & could not be divided any further
JJ Thompson & Rutherford discover the inner particles (i.e. electron, neutron, & proton)
6
Multiple Choice
An atom has equally numbered positive & negative charged particles, which makes the net charge
positive
negative
no charge (neutral)
Wait...I have to do math?

9
Elements
Elements differ in the # of Protons
The atomic # of an element is defined by the # of protons
The # of electrons of each element determines the properties of that element (i.e. gas, liquid, solid, metal. nonmetal)
Compounds involve two different elements bonded together (Ex: H2O & CO2)
10
Poll
Another way of describing a compound is to say,
Different groups of atoms combining together
More than one element combines with a molecule
Molecules composed of more than one different atom
The bonded pairing of different elements to form new substances

How are elements different from compounds?
12
Atomic Love Connection?
A molecule is 2 or more atoms held together by covalent bonds. Almost all of the substances that makeup organisms (i.e. ATP, DNA, RNA, Water) are molecules.
