Ch. 2: The Chemical Context of Life Notes

Outline:

2.1 Matter consists of chemical elements in pure form and combinations called compound s. Elements and Compounds (Pg. 31) Essential elements of life. (Pg. 32)

2.2 An elements properties depend on the structure of its atoms. Subatomic particles (pg. 32) Atomic number and atomic mass (pg. 33) Isotopes (pg. 33)  The energy levels of electrons (pg. 35) Electron distribution and chemical properties (pg. 35) Electron orbitals (pg. 36)

2.3 The formation and function of molecules is dependent on chemical bonding between atoms. Covalent bonds (pg. 38) Ionic bonds (pg. 39) Weak chemical bonds (pg. 40) Hydrogen Bonds (pg. 40) Van Der Waals Interactions (pg. 40) Molecular shape and function (pg. 41)

2.4 Chemical reactions make and break chemical bonds.
