Chemical Composition of the Human Body
- Oxygen: The most abundant element in the body, vital for respiration and energy production
- Carbon: The backbone of all organic molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids
- Hydrogen: A key component of water, which makes up a significant portion of the body.
- Nitrogen: A crucial element in proteins and nucleic acids, essential for cell growth and function
Role of Chemical Reactions in Medical
- Drug Action: Medicines interact with specific molecules within the body to achieve their therapeutic effects.
- Diagnostic Testing: Chemical tests like blood and urine analysis help diagnose and monitor various medical conditions.
Atomic Theory
- Proposed by Leucippus and Democritus in the 5th century
- Revived in the 1st century BCE by Lucretius
- Modern atomic theory began in the 19th century with the work of John Dalton
- Rutherford's atomic model established in the early 20th century through alpha particle scattering experiments from a thin gold foil
Rutherford Atomic Model
- The positive charge and most of the mass of an atom are concentrated in a small volume called the nucleus.
- Electrons surround the nucleus and revolve around it at high speed in circular paths called orbits.
- Electrons and the nucleus are held together by electrostatic force of attraction.
Quantum Mechanics
- Schrödinger equation devised in the 1920s, which describes the quantum dynamics of atomic electrons
- Supercomputers are used to solve the Schrödinger equation and calculate properties of atoms and molecules
- Quantum numbers describe the size, shape, and orientation of orbitals on an atom
Atomic Structure and Symbolism
- An atom contains a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons
- The nucleus contains the majority of the atom's mass because protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons
- If the nucleus were the size of a blueberry, the atom would be about the size of a football stadium
Atomic Mass
- Proton: mass of 1.0073 amu and a charge of 1+
- Neutron: mass 1.0087 amu and a charge of zero
Chemical Formula
- A way of presenting information about chemical proportions of atoms in a compound or molecule
- Uses element symbols, numbers, and other symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, plus and minus signs
Examples of Chemical Formulas
- Water: H₂O
- Methane: CH₄
- Table salt: NaCl
Finding Oxidation Numbers
- Oxidation numbers can be determined using the periodic table
Fundamental Laws of Chemistry
- Law 1: The Conservation of Mass
- Ancient Greek philosophy: "Nothing arises from nothing"
- Antoine Lavoisier reformulated the law for chemistry
- Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed
- Total mass before and after a chemical reaction is the same
- Law 2: Definite Proportions
- Developed by Joseph Proust
- Regardless of the quantity or source, when a compound is broken down, the masses of the constituents will always have the same proportions.
Electromagnetic Wave/Energy
- A form of radiation that travels through the universe.
Types of Electromagnetic Waves
- Radio Waves
- AM and FM broadcasting, radar, Bluetooth
- Microwaves
- Used in microwave ovens, communication (satellite and mobile)
- Infrared Waves
- Heat energy radiated from warm objects, used in night vision devices and remote controls
Optics
- Deals with the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and instruments used to detect it.
Electromagnetic Light Waves
- No medium required for travel
- Travel at 300,000 km/s (the fastest speed in the universe)
- Travel fastest through a vacuum
- Visible light is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, detected by the human eye.
The Bohr Model
- Description of the structure of atoms, especially hydrogen
- Proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913
- Amended the view of electron motion, incorporating the spectral series of light emitted by hydrogen atoms.
- Electrons radiate light when transitioning from an outer orbit to an inner orbit.
The Quantum Theory
- Basis of modern physics, explaining matter and energy behavior at atomic and subatomic levels.
- Introduced by Max Planck in 1900 to explain radiation color changes from glowing bodies at increasing temperatures.
Measuring Matter
- Scientists use equipment to measure matter: pipettes, burets, graduated cylinders, balances, metric sticks/rulers.
- Errors in measurements can occur due to improper equipment use or damage.
- Instruments can be used for direct measurements of macroscopic properties of chemical substances.
Base Quantities and Units
- Mass: Kilogram (kg)
- Length: Meter (m)
- Time: Second (s)
- Temperature: Kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance: Mole (mol)
- Intensity of light: Candela (cd)
Density
- Defined as a substance's mass divided by its volume.
- Usually a measured property, affecting significant figures in calculations.
- Common units are g/mL, g/cm3, g/L, kg/L.
Temperature
- A measure of average amount of energy of motion (average kinetic energy)
- Expresses hotness or coldness using arbitrary scales
- Indicates the direction of heat energy flow.
Types of Energy
- Mechanical Energy: Energy possessed by an object due to its motion or position.
- Can be kinetic (energy of motion) or potential (stored energy of position)
- Thermal Energy: Produced by a rise in temperature, causing atoms and molecules to move faster and collide.
