2.1 FAU High Bio 2
Robin Barkes・24 minutes read
The lesson discusses the structure of atoms, elements, isotopes, chemical compounds, and bonds, emphasizing the importance of understanding chemistry in biology. It introduces key concepts such as the composition of atoms, the role of electrons in chemical behavior, and the formation of chemical compounds through ionic and covalent bonds.
Insights
- The lesson focuses on understanding the composition of atoms, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, with isotopes having the same chemical properties despite differing neutron numbers.
- Chemical compounds are formed through the combination of elements in specific ratios, with various types of chemical bonds like ionic and covalent bonds determining the interactions between atoms.

Chemistry Basics: Atoms, Elements, Isotopes, Electrons
- The goal of the lesson is to define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge, such as chemistry.
- Objectives include identifying the three subatomic particles in atoms, explaining isotopes of an element, describing compounds, and discussing chemical bonds.
- Living things are made of chemical compounds, with biologists needing to understand the chemistry of life.
- Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, with protons and neutrons forming the nucleus.
- The concept of the atom originated from the Greek philosopher Democritus around 2,500 years ago.
- Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties due to the same number of electrons.
- Elements are pure substances with only one type of atom, with over 100 known elements.
- The atomic number indicates the number of protons in an atom, balancing the electrical charge with electrons.
- Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, with the mass number representing the total protons and neutrons.
- Electrons vary in energy levels and are found in different electron shells around the nucleus, influencing chemical behavior.

"Neon's Orbitals and Chemical Bonding Basics"
- Neon has five orbitals, with the first shell having one S orbital and the second shell having one 2S orbital and three 2P orbitals.
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, with the second shell capable of holding up to 8 electrons.
- Reactivity of an atom is due to unpaired electrons in its valence shell, which interact to complete their shells.
- Chemical compounds are formed by the combination of two or more elements in definite proportions, with properties different from their component elements.
- Chemical bonds include ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred between atoms, and covalent bonds, where electrons are shared.
- Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, creating positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that attract each other.
- Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, with varying degrees of sharing leading to nonpolar or polar covalent bonds.
