Six main branches of Chemistry
Organic Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Physical Chemistry Biochemistry Theoretical Chemistry These branches often overlap
12
The study of most carbon-containig compounds.
Organic Chemistry The study of most carbon-containig compounds.
13
Inorganic Chemistry The study of non-organic substances, many of which have organic fragments bonded to metals (organometallics). Ethyl alcohol boiling at 78°C Physical property: boiling point is associated with a phase change. It describes an inherent characteristic of alcohol. Hardness of a diamond. Physical property: describes an inherent characteristic of diamond – hardness. Sugar fermenting to form ethyl alcohol. Chemical property: describes behavior of sugar – forming a new substance (ethyl alcohol) through a chemical reaction.
14
Physical Chemistry The study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy. Analytical Chemistry The identification of the components and composition of materials. Biochemistry The study of substances and processes ocurring in living things.
15
Why to study chemistry? Should you use hot water or cold water to remove a grase stain from a shirt? How could you prepare for a career in nursering, firefighting, or journalisim? If your local goverment wanted to build a solid waste incinerator in your town, what questions would you ask about the project?
16
Three general reason to study chemistry.
1. Explaining the natural world Cut apple turning brown. Water expands as it freeze.
17
Three general reason to study chemistry.
2. Preparing people for career oportunities. Many carrers require the knowledge of chemistry. Interviewing Chemists Keeping grass healthy Which chemicals to use to fight different types of fire.
18
Three general reason to study chemistry.
3. Producing informed citizens. Would be better spent money on space exploration or cancer research? Through voting, citizen have a say in the decision their government make. Ex: How much money to provide for scientific research. Knowledge of Chemistry and other sciences can help you evaluate the data presented, arrive at an informed opinion and take appropriate actions.
19
Chemistry, Technology and Society
1. Basic Research It is carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge. Ex: How and why a specific reaction occurs and what the properties of a substance are. Plunkett´s research team determined the nonstick properties, molecules structure and chemical composition of the new material. Teflon -- Roy J Plunkett - Scientific Discovery Plunkett´s research team determined the nonstick properties, molecular structure and chemical composition of the new material

Chemistry, Technology and Society
3. Technological Development Involves the production and use of products that improve our quality of life. Ex: Computers, biomaterials, energy sources Chemical structure Basic and Applied reserach Reflection properties Technological development Building network Optical fiber
22
Observations and measurements
Instruments make it possible to: Look at nanostructures (extremely tiny structures) Analyze the arrangement of atoms and molecules. (X Ray diffraction patterns) Scanning Electron Microscopy, Copyright © 2016 The University of Alabama
23
Observations and measurements
Wheigh micromasses Measure low quantities 1 g = 10-6 g According to "Biomonitoring of Mercury Exposure with Single Human Hair Strand“, 1 cm of hair has an average mass of 54 g.
24
Chemicals In all areas of chemistry scientists work with chemicals. Chemical is any substance that has a definite composition. Ex: Sucrose or cane sugar It has a definite composition (atoms that compose it). It is produced by certain plants in the photosintesis.
25
C12H22O11 Chemicals Ex: Sucrose or cane sugar
It has a definite composition (atoms that compose it). C12H22O11 It is produced by certain plants in the photosintesis. Sorghum Date palm C12H22O11
26
Knowing the properties of chemicals is important. Why?
Allow chemists to find suitable uses, example: Artificial sweeteners and synthetic fibers Saccharin Aspartame
27
Name six branches of study in chemistry.
Concept Check What is Chemistry? The study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Name six branches of study in chemistry. Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Theoretical Chemistry. 1 (burning of wood) What is meant by the word chemical, as used by scientists?
