Chapter 2 Part 1 The Chemical Level of Organization Atoms and Elements View Video: Chemistry Part 1 View Video: Chemistry Part 2 View Video: Ionic Bonding View Video: Covalent Bonding Chemical Elements Elements are any substances that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances - it’s the smallest amount of matter Elements are shown in the periodic table Of the 92 naturally occurring elements, 24 of them have biological role 6 elements = 98.5% of body weight – oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus Of the 98.5%, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up 96% – The remainder 4% are made of lesser and trace elements the body needs Major Elements in Living Organisms Chemical Elements Minerals—inorganic elements extracted from soil by plants and passed up food chain to humans – Ca, P, Cl, Mg, K, Na, and S – Constitute about 4% of body weight – Important for body structure (Ca crystals in teeth, bones, etc.) – Important for enzymes’ functions – Electrolytes—mineral salts needed for nerve and muscle function ©McGraw-Hill Education.

Through Chemical bonds – forces that hold atoms together within a molecule or attract one molecule to another Types of Chemical Bonds – Ionic bonds – Covalent bonds – Hydrogen bonds Atoms and Elements View Video: Ionic Bonds Ions = Anions and Cations Some elements can give up or gain electrons Anion – atom that gained electrons and has a negative charge because it has gain a negatively charged electron Cation (pronounced “cat”ion) – atom that lost an electron and has a positive charge because it has more positively charged protons Give Up Electron Gain Electron Ions = Anions and Cation Cations Anion Opposites Attract – So an Atom that Gives Up an Electron and is Positive is Attracted to Atom that Gained the Electron is Negative. They Create an IONIC BOND – An Attraction Bond Electrolytes are Ions Atoms that have a positive or negative charge Electrolyte importance – chemical reactivity – osmotic effects (influence water movement) – electrical effects on nerve and muscle tissue Electrolyte balance is one of the most important considerations in patient care Common Ions in the Body Ionic Bonds The attraction of a cation to an anion Once the electrons are donated by one and received by the other, the positive and negative charges are attracted to each other Relatively weak attraction that is easily disrupted in water, as when salt dissolves Cl Na (c) Ionic bond in sodium chloride (NaCl) Na+ Cl– (d) Packing of ions in a crystal of sodium chloride Atoms and Elements View Video: Covalent Bonds Covalent Bonds Formed by sharing electrons – the electrons orbit around both nuclei of the atoms Types of covalent bonds – single - sharing of 1 pair electrons – double - sharing of 2 pairs of electrons – triple – sharing of 3 pairs of electfons Single Covalent Bond (a) Figure 2.6a ©McGraw-Hill Education.
