Biol1161—Pres2 Simple Chemistry
*Energy is the capability to do work*, usually meaning to move something.
Energy exists in forms that can be changed from one to the other, including:
* Chemical
* Electrical
* Mechanical
* Radiant
* Matter
Matter exists in states including solid, liquid, gaseous. Matter can be converted to energy and energy to matter under special circumstances.
Atoms are the basic material of matter.
All matter is made from atoms.
An element is matter consisting on one distinctive type of atom.
There are 92 natural elements on earth (hydrogen to uranium), plus 10 or more artificially produced trans-uranium elements.
59 elements typically form part of the human body.
The four major elements of the body are:
* Oxygen—65%
* Carbon—18%
* Hydrogen—9.5%
* Nitrogen—3.2%
*Water (H2*O) forms about 70-75% of body weight: WATER IS NOT AN ELEMENT—it is a compound!
*An atom is made of smaller particles, subatomic particles*, but when broken down to these particles it cannot be put back together.
*Protons have a positive charge
*Electrons have a negative charge
*Neutrons have a neutral charge
THE NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM ARE ALWAYS...
