Section 1 
➢ Organisms are composed of matter, which is anything that takes up space and has mass
...
 
➢ Element~ is a substance that can not be broken down to other substances by chemical 
reactions 
➢ Compound~ is a substance consisting of two or more different elements combined in a 
fix ratio
...
 
➢ Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H), and Nitrogen (N) ­ make up 96% of living 
matter
...
 
➢ Trace Elements ­ are those required by an organism in only minute quantities
...
 
➢ Three kinds of particles 
○ Neutrons, protons, and electrons 
○ Neutrons and protons are packed together tightly to form a dense core, or atomic 
nucleus, at the center of the atoms
...
 
➢ Protons, which is unique to that element, is called the atomic number and is written as a 
subscript to the left of the symbol for the element
...
 
➢ Atomic mass­ is an approximation of the total mass of an atom
...
 
➢ Energy­ is defined as the capacity to cause change, for instance by doing work 
➢ Potential energy­ is the energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure
...
 
➢ Electron shells ­ is an electron’s energy level is correlated with its average distance from 
the nucleus; these average distances are represented symbolically
...
 
➢ Orbital ­ is the three­dimensional space where an electron is found 90% of the time
...
 
➢ Covalent bond ­ is the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms
...
 
➢ Where the line represents a single covalent bond, or simply a single bond ­ that is, a pair 
of shared electrons 
➢ This notation, which represent both atoms and bonding, is called a structural formula
...
 
➢ The atoms are thus joined by what is called a double covalent bond, or simply a double 
bond
...
 
➢ The attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond is called its 
electronegativity
...
 
➢ A charged atom ( or molecules) is called an ion 
➢ When the charge is positive, the ion is specifically called a cation; the sodium atom has 
become a cation
...
 
➢ Compounds formed by ionic bond are called ionic compounds or salt
