• All atoms are considered neutral in charge
unless designated with a symbol of
charge, in which case they are considered
an ion; # electrons = # protons except in
ions
• The # of neutrons is equal to or greater
than the number of protons.

• Electrons exist at varying energy levels
• The further they are from the nucleus, the
more energy they have
– Think centripetal force
• Electrons tend to occupy the lowest
energy level (closest to nucleus) possible
• Electrons can be “excited” to higher
energy levels for very brief periods
– Example: Light energy during photosynthesis

4 Major Types of Bonds4 Major Types of Bonds
• Strongest to weakest
– Covalent bonds
– Ionic bonds
– Hydrogen bonds
– van der Waals interactions
46. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Covalent BondsCovalent Bonds
• Strongest
• Generally occurs when two nonmetals interact
• A pair, or pairs, of e- are shared
• Single covalent bond
– One pair of e- shared between two atoms
– Represented by a single line in structural formula
• Double covalent bond
– Two pairs of e- shared between two atoms
– Represented by a double line in structural formula
• Triple covalent bond
– Three pairs of e- shared between two atoms
– Represented by a triple line in structural formula
51. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Polar vs. Nonpolar Covalent BondsPolar vs. Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
• It’s all about electronegativity
– Electronegativity
• The affinity an atom has for electrons
– i.e. How strongly it pulls on both its own e- and the e- of other
atoms
• All atoms are electronegative, some more than
others
• Polarity, whether or not a molecule is polar or
nonpolar, can have a big effect on the behavior
of the molecule.
52. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Nonpolar Covalent BondsNonpolar Covalent Bonds
• Occurs between two atoms of the same
electronegativity.
• Electrons are shared equally
– Both atoms are pulling with the same force
• Examples – eneg = electronegativity
– O=O (O2)
• Same atom – same eneg
– C—H
• Carbon and hydrogen have the same eneg
53. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Polar Covalent BondsPolar Covalent Bonds
• Occurs between two atoms of differing eneg
• Electrons are not shared equally
– i.e. e- spend more time around one atom than the
other
• This creates a slight polarity of charge in the
molecule
– More eneg atom gains slightly negative charge
– Less eneg atom gains a slightly positive charge
• Note – oxygen is the big one here
• Example
– H – O bond
– Hydrogen is slightly positive, oxygen slightly negative
58. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Ionic BondsIonic Bonds
• Also strong
– Relatively weak around water
• Around water, ionically bonded substances dissociate into
ions
• Generally occur between a metal and a
nonmetal
– Metal loses electron, nonmetal gains electron
• Electrons are not shared, they are transferred
from one atom to another
• Differences in eneg are great
• Ions (charged particles) are formed
• An ionic bond is an attraction between
oppositely charged ions.
59. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Examples of Ionic BondsExamples of Ionic Bonds
• Na + Cl Na+
+ Cl-
NaCl
– Cl steals an e- from Na, gains a 1- charge and leaves
Na with a 1+ charge. The oppositely charged ions are
attracted.
• Mg + 2F Mg2+
+ 2F-
MgF2
– Two fluorinessteal 1 e- each from Mg, gain a 1-
charge and leave Mg with a 2+ charge. The
oppositely charged ions are attracted.
62. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Hydrogen BondsHydrogen Bonds
• Hbonding is an attraction between the slightly
positively charged atom in one polar bond and
the slightly negatively charged atom in a
different polar bond
• Occur only between polar molecules or polar
regions of molecules
• Weak, short-lived bonds (still very important)
• This can happen between two different
molecules or between different regions of the
same molecule
67. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Van der Waals InteractionsVan der Waals Interactions
• Due to the random movement of electrons
• Weak
• Short-lived
• Can occur in both polar and nonpolar molecules
• Only occur when molecules are very close
together
• Allows all molecules to be attracted to one
another
• Plays role in the shape of larger molecules
70. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Molecular ShapeMolecular Shape
• Every covalently bonded molecule has a
characteristic size and shape.
FOR IB BIO…the only thing about shape to
remember is:
• Biological Structure is related to function
– i.e. A molecule’s structure is directly related to
its “job”
• Molecules communicate via shape
79. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
6CO6CO22 + 6H+ 6H22OO CC66HH1212OO66 + 60+ 6022
• Represented by chemical equations
– Reactants on the left
– Products on the right
– Some bonds are broken and reformed
– Mass is conserved in a reaction
• In a balanced chemical equation, the total # of
atoms of each element must be equal on both
sides of the equation
• Is this equation balanced?
80. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
EquilibriumEquilibrium
• In some reactions, all of the reactants are
converted to products
• Most reactions, however, are reversible –
they can go in either direction
• CO2 + H2O H2CO3
• Eventually, equilibrium will be met.
– This is when the reaction is occurring in both
directions at the same rate
82. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Exergonic/Endergonic ReactionsExergonic/Endergonic Reactions
and Free Energyand Free Energy
• Free energy – energy that can be used to do work
• Exergonic reactions
– release free energy
– result in products with less stored energy than the reactants
– Reactants (high E) products (lower E) + E (free)
– C6H12O6 + 602 6CO2 + 6H2O + E
– Molecules are being broken down (catabolism)
• Endergonic reactions
– store free energy
– result in products with more stored energy then the reactants
– Reactants (lower E) + E (free) products (high E)
– 6CO2 + 6H2O + E C6H12O6 + 602
– Molecules are being built up (anabolism)

Oxidation – Reduction ReactionsOxidation – Reduction Reactions
REDOXREDOX
• LEO the lion goes GER
• Loses e- oxidation, gains e- reduction
• Any time an ion is formed – redox reaction
• Example
– Na + Cl Na+
+ Cl-
• Na has lost e- and has been oxidized
• Cl has gained an e- and has been
reduced
84. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Redox in Covalent bondsRedox in Covalent bonds
• Redox rxns can also involve covalent bonding
• Atom can be reduced if it becomes bonded to a
highly eneg atom.
– i.e. it’s own e- are being pulled away from it
• Example
– C-H bond broken, H replaced with O, C-O
– Oxygen is highly e-neg
– Carbon has been oxidized
– Oxygen has been reduced
85. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Dalton’s Atomic TheoryDalton’s Atomic Theory
• We already have discussed this, but to
make it more clear the following 5 ideas
are the keys to make the Atomic Theory
more easy to identify
• 1. Elements are made of tiny particles
called atoms.
• 2. All atoms of a given element are
identical
86. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Dalton’s Atomic TheoryDalton’s Atomic Theory
• 3. The atoms of a given element are
different from those of any other element.
• 4. Atoms of one element can combine
with atoms of other elements to form
compounds. A given compound always
has the same relative numbers and types
of atoms.
87. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Dalton’s Atomic TheoryDalton’s Atomic Theory
• 5. Atoms are indivisible in chemical
processes. That is, atoms are not created
or destroyed in chemical reactions. A
chemical reaction simply changes the way
the atoms are grouped together.

Describing SolutionsDescribing Solutions
• A solution is a uniform mixture
• Two types of parts
– Solvent –the dissolving agent
• Water is a great example (especially in cells)
– Solutes – are dissolved in the solvent
• Anything dissolved in a substance
• There can be many solutes in a given solvent
• Example – mix salt and water
– Water is the _____
– Salt is the _______
90. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Like Dissolves LikeLike Dissolves Like
• Polar vs. nonpolar
• Polar and nonpolar substances repel one
another
• So . . .
• Polar (and ionic) solutes will dissolve in
polar solvents
• Nonpolar solutes will dissolve in nonpolar
solvents
• Think oil (nonpolar) and vinegar (polar)
91. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Hydrophobic vs. HydrophilicHydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic
• HYDROPHOBIC
• Hydro = water
• Phobic = fearing
• Don’t dissolve in water
• Nonpolar substances
• OIL
• HYDROPHILIC
• Hydro = water
• Philic = loving
• Do dissolve in water
• Polar/ionic substances
• VINEGAR
92. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
ReviewReview
• Like dissolves like
• Hydrophilic and hydrophobic, i.e. nonpolar and
polar molecules, literally repel one another
• All polar molecules are hydrophilic
• All ionic molecules are hydrophilic
• All nonpolar molecules are hydrophobic
• However
– Some molecules can be both hydrophobic and
hydrophilic (in different areas)
– Example – phospholipids
96. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Concentration of a SolutionConcentration of a Solution
• A measure of the amount of solute/solvent
• Lots of solute and/or low solvent = a high
concentration (represented by [x] )
• Aqueous solution – water is the solvent
– Very important to life
• Saturated solution – cannot dissolve any
more solute
101. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Dissociation into IonsDissociation into Ions
• To break into separate ions in solution
• Ionically bonded substances do this
– NaCl Na+
(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
• Covalently bonded substances don’t
dissociate into ions, with one exception
• Water is the “exception”
– H2O H+
+ OH-
• Note H+
and H3O+
are synonymous
102. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
Acids and BasesAcids and Bases
• Acids
• H3O+
↔ H+
+ H2O
• H3O+
= Hydronium
• Acidity or alkalinity (bases) is actually a measure
of hydronium and hydroxide ions dissolved in a
solution
• BASES
• OH-
= hydroxide ion
• REMEMBER: NaOH ↔ Na+
+ OH-
106. 09/10/1309/10/13 cottinghamcottingham
pH and lifepH and life
• Control of pH is very important to living things
(homeostasis)
• Example
– Human blood pH range generally 7.35 – 7.45
– Anything below 7 or above 7.8 can be deadly
• Buffers
– Weak acid/base that can neutralize small amounts of
another acid/base
– H2CO3 H+
+ HCO3
-
– Carbonic acid hydrogen ion + bicarbonate ion
