Chemistry and Matter Chemistry The study of matter and the changes that it undergoes Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space Mass A measurement of the amount of matter in an object However, everything is not made of matter Heat, light, radio waves, and magnetic fields are not made of matter
10
Chemistry and Matter (Continued) Why does scientists measure matter in terms of mass, and not in terms of weight? Your body is made of matter and you usually weigh yourself in pounds Weight is a measure of the amount of matter in your body Weight also includes the effect of Earth’s gravitational pull on your body This force is not the same everywhere on Earth Scientists use mass to measure matter instead of weight because they need to compare measurements taken in different locations
11
Chemistry and Matter (continued) Matter Made up of particles, called atoms, that are so small they cannot be seen with an ordinary light microscope The structure, composition, and behavior of all matter can be explained by atoms and the changes they undergo Because there are so many types of matter, there are many areas of study in the field of chemistry

13
Scientific Methods Scientific method A systematic approach used to answer a question or study a situation An organized way for scientists to do research A way for scientists to verify the work of other scientists Typically includes making observations, forming a hypothesis, performing an experiment, and arriving at a conclusion
14
Scientific Method (continued) Observations Scientific study usually begins with observations A scientists will begin with qualitative data Information that describes color, odor, shape, or some other physical characteristic that relates to the five senses Scientists also use quantitative data Data that is numerical It tells how much, how little, how big, or how fast
15
PRACTICE PROBLEMS 1. Identify each of the following as an example of qualitative data or quantitative data. a. Taste of an apple b. Mass of a brick c. Speed of a car d. Length of a rod e. Texture of a leaf f. Weight of an elephant

22
Scientific Method (continued) Hypothesis A possible explanation for what has been observed Based on the observations of ozone thinning and CFC buildup in the atmosphere, the chemists Mario Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland hypothesized that CFCs break down in the atmosphere due to the Sun’s ultraviolet rays They further hypothesized that a chlorine particle produced by the breakdown of CFCs could break down ozone
23
Scientific Method (continued) Experiment A set of controlled observations that test a hypothesis In an experiment, a scientist will set up and change one variable at a time A variable is a quantity that can have more than one value Independent variable The variable changed in an experiment Dependent variable The variable that you watch to see how it changes as a result of your changes to the independent variable
24
Scientific Method (continued) Experiment (continued) Example: If you wanted to test the effect of fertilizer on plant growth, you would change the amount of fertilizer applied would be the independent variable and plant growth would be the dependent variable Many experiments also include a control A standard for comparison In the example above, plants to which no fertilizer is applied
25
Scientific Method (continued) Conclusion A judgment based on the data obtained in the experiment If data supports a hypothesis, the hypothesis is tentatively affirmed Hypotheses are never proven; they are always subject to additional research If additional data do not support a hypothesis, the hypothesis is discarded or modified Most hypotheses are not supported by data Whether the hypothesis is supported or not, the data collected may still be useful Data from many experiments can be used to form a visual, verbal, and/or mathematical explanation called a model of the phenomenon be studied
26
Scientific Method (continued) Theory An explanation that has been supported by many experiments State broad principles of nature Theories are the best explanations of phenomena that scientists have at any given time, they are always subject to new experimental data and are modified to include new data Scientific law Describes a relationship in nature that is supported by many experiments and for which no exception has been found Scientists may use models and theories to explain why this relationship exists
