1. Study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes.
Chemistry
Study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes.

2. 5 Major Branches of Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Carbon based
Inorganic Chemistry
Non-carbon based
Physical Chemistry
Energies within an atom
Analytical Chemistry
Qualitative and Quantitative study of matter.
Biochemistry
Chemistry within living organisms.

3. Types of Research Basic Research Applied Research
Studies chemistry for the sake of increasing knowledge.
Applied Research
Studies chemistry to solve practical problems.

4. Matter and its Properties
Atoms
Smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical identity of the element.
Elements
Cannot be broken down into simpler substance.
Made up of one type of atom.
Compounds
Can only be broken down into simpler substance through chemical reactions.
Made up of two or more different atoms.

5. Properties and Changes
Physical Properties
Characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Extensive
Depend on the amount of matter.
Mass, volume or amount energy
Intensive
Doesn’t depend on the amount of matter.
Boiling/Melting points, density conductivity.

6. States of Matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma
Definite shape and definite volume.
Tightly packed
Liquid
Matter that flows; Fixed volume and no definite shape.
Loosely packed, stay together as a unit.
Gas
No definite shape or volume.
Widely spaced, free to move alone.
Plasma
Atoms lose their electrons and become charged particles.

8. States of Matter High Temperature Low Temperature
Gas
Liquid
Solid
Low Temperature
Note: Any substance can be in any state at any given temperature.

10. Chemical Properties The actual composition of a substance.
Ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions and to form new substances.

11. Changes Physical Change Chemical Change
Change that doesn’t involve a change in the identity of the substance.
Chemical Change
Change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
Involves a chemical reaction
Reactants  Products

13. Mixtures
Consist of a physical blend of two or more substances, that retain their same internal composition.
Can be separated by physical means.
Homogeneous (solution)
Uniform in composition, only one phase visible.
Heterogeneous
Not uniform throughout, two or more phases visible.

14. Mixtures Separations of Mixtures Distillation Filtering
Crystallization
Extraction
Chromatography

16. Pure Substance Contains a fixed composition throughout.
Homogenous sample of matter.
Elements and Compounds
Law of Definite Composition
A compound has the same ratio of elements by mass, no matter how large of a sample given.
H2O
11.2% Hydrogen and 88.8% Oxygen
H2O2
5.9% Hydrogen and 94.1% Oxygen

17. Summary

18. Chemical Symbols Representation of an element. One to two letters.
Two letter symbols, 1st is capitalized and 2nd is lower case.
Some symbols are from their Latin or German origins.

20. Introduction to the Periodic Table
Groups (Families)
Vertical columns
Periods
Horizontal rows

21. Types of Elements Metals Nonmetals Metalloids Noble gases
Luster, good conductors, ductile and malleable.
Nonmetals
Dull, poor conductors, non-ductile and brittle.
Metalloids
Share traits of both metals and nonmetals.
Noble gases
Unreactive, “inert” gas found in group 18.
