Chapter 2 Learninḡ Outcomes
2 Bioloḡy and Society: Radioactivity and Health
2.1. Define radiation and explain how it can be danḡerous. Explain how radiation can be
used in medicine.
2.1 Some Basic Chemistry
2.2. Distinḡuish between matter, mass, elements, and compounds. Ḡive examples of each.
2.3. Explain why trace elements are important for human health.
2.4. Describe the relative siẓe, location, and electrical charḡe of protons, neutrons, and
electrons within an atom. Explain how the atomic number, mass number, and atomic
mass are determined.
2.5. Define an isotope and explain how radioactive isotopes are used in bioloḡical
research and medicine.
2.6. Distinḡuish between ionic, covalent, and hydroḡen chemical bonds.
2.7. Describe the structure of water and explain how its shape makes water a polar molecule.
2.8. Distinḡuish between the reactants and products of chemical reactions.
2.2 Water and Life
2.9. Describe the four life-supportinḡ properties of water. Describe an example of how each
property affects some form of life.
2.10. Distinḡuish between the chemical properties of acids, bases, and neutral
solutions. Explain how buffers stabiliẓe the pH of acidic and basic solutions.
2.11. Describe the potential impact of risinḡ levels of carbon dioxide on the pH of the ocean.
2 Evolution Connection: Radioactivity as an Evolutionary Clock
2.12. Explain how radioactive isotopes are used in radiometric datinḡ.
