1 Chemistry is the study of matter

2 The Nature Of Matter All matter is made of something, even if it looks like nothing. All matter is made of something, even if it looks like nothing. We make classifications according to its properties, both chemical and physical We make classifications according to its properties, both chemical and physical

3 Three States of Matter Solid: strong interactions Fixed shapeFixed shape Not compressibleNot compressible RigidRigid DenseDense

4 Liquid: medium interactions Liquid Liquid Not rigid Not rigid Assumes shape of container Assumes shape of container Not compressible Not compressible Dense Dense

5 Gas: no interactions Not rigid Not rigid Completely fills container Completely fills container Compressible Compressible Low density Low density

6 All matter is either pure or impure Matter Pure Impure (>1 pure substance) Pure matter cannot be separated by physical means Impure matter can be separated by physical means Another word for impure matter is mixture – a solution is a common example of a mixture

7 What are physical means Filtration and centrifuge (liquids and solids) Filtration and centrifuge (liquids and solids) Crystallization (solutions) Crystallization (solutions) Distillation (solutions of liquids) Distillation (solutions of liquids) Magnetism (magnetic from non-magnetic) Magnetism (magnetic from non-magnetic) Chromatography (gases and liquids) Chromatography (gases and liquids)

8 Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous

9 Pure materials are also divided Matter Pure Element (not divisible by chemical means Compound (divisible by chemical means) Impure

10 Compounds are not mixtures Compounds have specific compositions (ratio of elements always the same - NaCl) Compounds have specific compositions (ratio of elements always the same - NaCl) Mixtures have variable composition Mixtures have variable composition Compounds have properties different from those of elements Compounds have properties different from those of elements Mixtures have similar properties to those of constituents Mixtures have similar properties to those of constituents

11 Sodium chloride is made from sodium and chlorine ELEMENTS:ELEMENTS: Sodiummetal, very reactiveSodium : metal, very reactive Chlorine: gas, very reactive, highly toxicChlorine: gas, very reactive, highly toxic COMPOUNDCOMPOUND Sodium chloride: salt, unreactive, harmlessSodium chloride: salt, unreactive, harmless

12 Chemical and Physical Properties Physical properties: things that we can measure about a substance (always the same for a pure substance) Physical properties: things that we can measure about a substance (always the same for a pure substance) o Melting point o Boiling point o Density o Electrical conductivity o Thermal conductivity o Colour Chemical properties: how substances behave in chemical reactions (always involves change in composition) Chemical properties: how substances behave in chemical reactions (always involves change in composition)

13 Intensive and Extensive properties Intensive properties do not depend on the size of the sample Intensive properties do not depend on the size of the sample o Temperature, density, melting point Extensive properties do depend on sample size Extensive properties do depend on sample size o Mass, length

14 Chemical and Physical Change Physical change: changes where ultimately no change in the chemical composition occurs – easily reversible Physical change: changes where ultimately no change in the chemical composition occurs – easily reversible o Change of state (melting, boiling etc.) o Dissolving Chemical change: a change where a chemical reaction occurs Chemical change: a change where a chemical reaction occurs

15 Decide for yourself: Chemical or physical? Grape juice turns to wine Grape juice turns to wine Wood burns to ashes Wood burns to ashes Water boils Water boils Leaves turn yellow in Fall Leaves turn yellow in Fall Rock is crushed to powder Rock is crushed to powder Salt dissolves in water Salt dissolves in water
