1. Objectives
The science of chemistry
Matter and its Properties
Elements

2. Chemistry is a Physical Science
Chemistry: is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, the processes that matter undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany these processes.

3. Six Branches of Chemistry
1. Organic: studies carbon molecules created by life. (Petroleum, Plastics, biofuels, etc)
2. Inorganic: studies non-organic molecules. (organometallics, metal alloys, ion batteries, glass, etc)
3. Physical: The study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy (plasma TVs, energy production, etc)

4. Six Branches cont…….
4. Analytical: the identification of the components and composition of materials. (blood testing, water analysis, pollution, EPA, etc)
5. Biochemistry: the study of substances and processes occurring in living things. (Medical, pharmaceuticals, treatments, allergies, etc)
6. Theoretical: the use of mathematics and computers to understand the principles behind observed chemical behavior and to design and predict the properties of new compounds. (everything above)

5. 3 Types of Research
1. Basic Research: carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge. (NASA, HUBBLE, etc)
2. Applied Research: Generally carried out to solve a problem (developing new drugs.. Etc)
3. Technological Development: involves the production and use of products that improve our quality of life. (iPads, iPhones, Droids, etc..)

6. Matter and Its Properties
Atom: smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element.
Mass: measure of the amount of matter.
Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space.
Element: a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances and is made of one type of atom.
Compound: substance that can be broken down into simpler stable substances. Made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded.

7. Properties and Changes in Matter
Extensive properties: depend on the amount of matter that is present. (volume, mass, etc)
Intensive properties: do not depend on the amount of matter present. (melting point, boiling point, etc)
Physical Property: characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. (melting, boiling, etc)
Physical Change: change that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance. (cutting, melting, etc)

8. Change of state: physical change from one state to another.
Solid: definite volume definite shape
Liquid: definite volume indefinite shape
Gas: neither definite volume nor shape
Plasma: high-temperature state where most atoms lose their electrons.

9. Chemical Properties and Chemical Changes
Chemical properties is the substance’s ability to change into another substance.
Chemical Change ( ) or Reaction is when substances are converted into other substances
Reactants: the ‘ingredients’ – wood, oxygen & heat
Products: what are formed – ash, CO2 & steam
CO2
H2O
(Oxygen)

10. Energy and Changes in Matter
Enthalpy is the amount of energy released or absorbed during a chemical or physical change (. )
To melt from Ice to liquid, the H2O must absorb energy from the environment.
To freeze from liquid to ice, the H2O must release energy to the environment.
(energy levels) solid<liquid<gas<plasma
The Law of Conservation of Energy dictates that energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

11. Classification of Matter

12. Mixtures are made from 2 or more substances that retain their identities.
Homogeneous = same throughout
Heterogeneous = not uniform
Pure Substance has fixed composition and the same characteristic properties throughout.
Compound = 2 or more elements chemically bonded together
Element = identical atoms throughout.

13. Laboratory Chemicals and Purity
Grades of Purity, but none are 100% pure
You NEVER EVER
Return a reagent back
To the original bottle.
This will contaminate
The purity of your
Master reagent!
Primary Standard Reagents highest
ACS (American Chemical Society
Specified reagents)
USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia standard)
CP (Chemically Pure)
NF (National Formulary specifications)
FCC (Food Chemical Code specifications)
Technical (industrial chemicals) lowest

14. Elements Groups/families: vertical columns Periods: horizontal rows
Similar chemical properties
Periods: horizontal rows
Physical/chemical properties change regularly across.

15. Types of Elements
Metals: an element that is a good electrical conductor and heat conductor.
Properties: most are solid at room Temperature, malleability, ductile,
Tensile strength, luster.
Discuss the differences between
Copper and mercury.

16. Nonmetals: poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Many are gases at room temperature. Bromine is a liquid. Carbon, Phosphorous, selenium, sulfur and iodine are solids.
Tend to be brittle.

17. Metalloids: Has some characteristics of metals and some characteristics of nonmetals.
Solid at room temperature, less malleable, semiconductors, some have luster.
Which metalloid is
Essential for our
Computer-driven
Technology?
What State has a
Valley named
After it?

18. Noble Gases: Part of the nonmetals, these elements are gases at room temperature.
Generally unreactive with other elements
Which noble gas is
Close to ‘running out’
In commercial production?
Discuss why its production Is limited by radioactive
Decay.
