1
THE STUDY OF MATTER AND THE CHANGES THAT TAKE PLACE WITH THAT MATTER What is Chemistry?
2
The Chemistry World
3
MATTER: ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS AND TAKES UP SPACE Mass – the amount of matter in something Volume – the amount of space something occupies What is Matter?
4
Which of the following is matter? A car? A box? You?
5
PROPERTY: A CHARACTERISTIC OF A SUBSTANCE THAT CAN BE OBSERVED What is a property?
6
Physical Property Physical property: a property that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. Examples: Luster: Does a ring shine/glisten? malleability: the ability to be hammered into a thin sheet ductility: the ability to be stretched into a wire melting point boiling point density solubility specific heat
7
MELTING POINT: THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH A SUBSTANCE CHANGES FROM A SOLID TO A LIQUID AT A GIVEN PRESSURE WATER = 0 o C BOILING POINT: THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH A SUBSTANCE CHANGES FROM A LIQUID TO A GAS AT A GIVEN PRESSURE WATER = 100 O C Special Physical Properties
8
Chemical Property Chemical Property: Characteristics of a material that CANNOT be observed without causing a chemical change Examples: Reacting with Oxygen (oxidation): Iron Rust Apple Turning Brown Reacting with Acids: The formation of compounds (What’s a compounds?! We will get there!!!) Flammable/Nonflammable
9
What is a Pure Substance? A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties and cannot be changed into a simpler substance. (it’s homogeneous) Examples: Tin Sulfur Diamond Water Pure Sugar Table Salt
10
What is a mixture? Combination of two or more pure substances that are NOT chemically combined Substances are held together by physical forces, not chemical No chemical change takes place Each item keeps its properties in the mixture Can be separated physically
11
2 Types of Mixtures Homogeneous Mixtures Molecules are mixed up in an even distribution Solutions are mixtures that appear to be in a single substance Heterogeneous Mixtures Molecules are NOT mixed up in an even distribution Parts can be filtered out of the mixture
12
Examples of Homogeneous Mixtures Sugar water Lemonade Kool-Aid Soda Air
13
Examples of Heterogeneous Mixtures Snow globe Sand in a bucket of water Muddy water Italian Salad Dressing
14
What is an Element? Pure substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances Elements are composed of ONE kind of atom Elements are the simplest substances All the elements on earth can be found on the Periodic Table Examples: Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N)
15
What is a Molecule? Composed of two or more elements that are joined by a chemical bond. Elements can be the same: Ex: H 2, O 2, N 2 Elements can be different: Ex: C 6 H 12 O 6, H 2 O
16
MOLECULES More than 1 element Only 1 element
17
What is a Compound? Pure substance composed of two or more DIFFERENT elements joined by chemical bonds Compounds are a TYPE of MOLECULE! Can be only separated by chemical means, not physically Have their own physical and chemical properties Examples: H 2 0 ---water NaCl ----salt NH 3 ---ammonia TiO—white out
18
ANALOGY Imagine going to an ice cream store. Let's say that they have 30 different flavors of ice cream. Those are elements, the things that I have available to build my dessert from. The smallest amount of ice cream that the store will sell to me is a scoop. This is an atom. If I want, I can put two or more scoops of ice cream together. This is a molecule. If my molecule has more than one flavor of ice cream, I can call it a compound.
19
What is a Solution? - Solute: Substance being dissolved - Solvent: Substance the solute is dissolved in

OBJECTIVES: 1. DISCUSS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERMS PURE SUBSTANCE AND MIXTURE. 2. OBSERVE MATTER IN THE FORM OF PURE SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES 3. USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND IDEAS TO EXPLAIN YOUR OBSERVATIONS STC LESSON 1: The Nature of Matter NOTE: **MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY THROUGHOUT THE LESSON** WE WILL WALK THROUGH LESSON 1.1 TOGETHER THIS TIME!!!
21
OBJECTIVES: 1. DISCUSS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERMS “PURE SUBSTANCE”. 2. DISCUSS HOW YOU DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PURE SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES. 3. USE YOUR OWN TECHNIQUES TO DISCOVER WHETHER SEVERAL SAMPLES OF MATTER ARE PURE SUBSTANCES OR MIXTURES STC LESSON 2: Pure Substance or Mixture? NOTE: **MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY THROUGHOUT THE LESSON**
