Document Summary

Atoms, molecules and life: atoms are the fundamental structural units of matter and are composed of three types of particles. In the nucleus, there are protons charged positive and uncharged neutrons. Elements: an element is a substance that cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical reactions. Subject is given the sugar glucose with a radioactive isotope of fluorine attached; tumor cells use large amounts of glucose so radioactivity is highest there: author animation: atomic structure. Electrons can absorb and release energy: electricity flow through filament causing heat, heat bumps electrons into higher-energy electron shells, as electrons fall back to their original shells they release energy as light. 1 hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms = water: hydrogen and oxygen atoms gain stability by interacting with each other, single electrons from each of two hydrogen molecules fill the outer shell of an oxygen atom. Covalent bonds involve shared electrons (picture in book) Water makes up 60-90% body weight of most organisms.
