1. INTRODUCTION

2. What is Chemistry?
Definition: Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes from one substance to another.
Chemistry is central to all sciences and overlaps with physics, biology, geology, and astronomy.
Learning about chemistry teaches you about the benefits and risks associated with chemicals and will help you to be an informed citizen and make intelligent choices concerning the world around you.
Chemistry teaches you to solve problems and communicate with others in an organized and logical manner.

4. Major Chemistry subdivisions:
Analytical (qualitative and quantitative) Chemistry:
Qualitative Analytical Chemistry: What is a sample of matter composed of?
Quantitative Analytical Chemistry: How much “stuff” is in a sample of matter?
Biochemistry:
The study of living systems (Biology + Chemistry)
Organic Chemistry:
The study of properties and reactions of compounds that contain Carbon
Inorganic Chemistry:
The study of properties and reactions of compounds that are not Carbon based
Physical Chemistry:
The study of the physics involved with chemical changes.

5. Major Hints in being a successful Chemistry Student
Study Everyday!! A 5 unit class requires at least 10 hours/week of study time to earn a “C”
Don’t fall behind – you will never catch up!!!
Always ask for help when you need it – don’t wait.
Working in groups is very helpful IF you have the right group!!!
Read the chapter and/or online lecture notes before class to familiarize yourself with the material.

6. ELEMENTS

7. H stands for the hydrogen atom He is helium Li is lithium
NAMING ELEMENTS
The chemical symbol and the name of the elements must be known before starting any discussion in chemistry. There is a correlation between the name and the chemical symbol.
The chemical symbol is usually the first or the first and second letter of the name.
H stands for the hydrogen atom
He is helium Li is lithium
Or it could be the first and third letter
Mg is magnesium Mn is manganese
Or it could be the letters for the “Old” (Latin, Greek, etc.) name
Fe is iron (ferrum: latin Cu is copper (cuprum)

8. NAMES OF ELEMENTS TO KNOW
H = hydrogen atom Si = silicon Ag = silver
He = helium P = phosphorus Sn = tin
Li = lithium S = sulfur Zn = zinc
Be = beryllium Cl = chlorine Ba = barium
B = boron Ar = Argon Ni = nickel
C = carbon K = potassium (kalium) Pb = lead
N = nitrogen atom Ca = calcium Xe = xenon
O = oxygen atom Cr = chromium Au = gold
F = fluorine atom Fe = iron (ferrum)
Ne = neon Hg = mercury
Na = sodium (natrium) Cu = copper (cuprum)
Mg = magnesium I = iodine atom
Al = aluminum Br = bromine atom

9. NAMING ELEMENTS H - hydrogen atom H2 - hydrogen
There are 7 homonuclear diatomic elements.
These elements do not exist “alone” readily under the conditions experienced on the surface of the Earth.
H - hydrogen atom H2 - hydrogen
N - nitrogen atom N2 - nitrogen
O - oxygen atom O2 - oxygen
F - fluorine atom F2 - fluorine
Cl - chlorine atom Cl2 - chlorine
Br - bromine atom Br2 - bromine
I - iodine atom I2 - iodine
You must be extra careful (& specific) when naming these elements

11. SCIENTIFIC METHOD

12. SCIENTIFIC METHOD
1. FACT : An observable event; indisputable evidence which does not explain but simply is.
2. HYPOTHESIS: A guess to try to explain an observation.
3. EXPERIMENT: A systematic exploration of an observation or concept.
4. THEORY: An explanation of the facts; it can be proven by experiment and it confirms an hypothesis.
5. LAW: A theory which has undergone rigorous experimentation and no contradiction can be found.
Note: MODEL: A visual or mathematical device or method used to demonstrate a theory or concept.

14. EXPERIMENTS
4/15/2018
In ancient Greece philosophers, like Aristotle, did very little physical experimentation. Mental exercises were the preferred method for solving problems.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD depends on experimentation therefore the ability to make measurements is vital when using scientific method.

16. MEASUREMENTS Rounding Off Numbers
Rule 1. When the first digit after those you want to retain is 4 or less, that digit and all other to its right are dropped. The last digit retained is not changed. The following examples are rounded off to four digits:
≡ ≡ 1.006
Rule 2. When the first digit after those you want to retain is 5 or greater, that digit and all others to the right are dropped and the last digit retained is increased by one. These examples are rounded off to four digits:
≡ ≡ 18.03
≡ 12.90

18. MEASUREMENTS Significant Figures
1. All nonzero numbers are significant figures.
2. Zero’s follow the rules below.
Zero’s between numbers are significant.
30.09 has 4 SF
Zero’s that precede are NOT significant.
has 2 SF
Zero’s at the end of decimals are significant.
has 3 SF
Zero’s at the end without decimals are either.
4050 has either 4 SF or 3 SF

19. MEASUREMENTS Significant Figures & Calculations
4/15/2018
Significant figures are based on the tools used to make the measurement. An imprecise tool will negate the precision of the other tools used. The following rules are used when measurements are used in calculations.
Adding/subtracting
The result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places.
Multiplying/dividing
The result should contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least number of significant figures.

21. MEASUREMENTS Scientific Notation
4/15/2018
Many measurements in science involve either very large numbers or very small numbers (#). Scientific notation is one method for communicating these types of numbers with minimal writing.
GENERIC FORMAT: # . # #… x 10#
A negative exponent represents a number less than 1 and a positive exponent represents a number greater than 1.
6.75 x 10-3 is the same as
6.75 x 103 is the same as 6750

22. MEASUREMENTS Scientific Notation

25. Dimensional Analysis Numerator Denominator 1. Do I want that unit?
Dimensional Analysis (also call unit analysis) is one method for solving math problems that involve measurements. The basic concept is to use the units associated with the measurement when determining the next step necessary to solve the problem. Always start with the given measurement then immediately follow the measurement with a set of parentheses.
Keep in mind, try to ask yourself the following questions in order to help yourself determine what to do next.
1. Do I want that unit?
If not, get rid of it by dividing by it if the unit is in the numerator, (if the unit is in the denominator, then multiply).
2. What do I want?
Place the unit of interest in the opposite position in the parentheses.
