Chemistry and Matter
2
Definition of Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes.
3
Definition of Chemistry
Chemicals are the substances that make up matter
4
Definition of Chemistry
Chemists study the composition and behavior of matter, and they modify materials for new purposes
5
Five Branches of Chemistry
(1) Organic- study of carbon containing compounds Ex: the human body, environment, pharmaceuticals
6
Five Branches of Chemistry
(2) Inorganic- study of everything that doesn’t contain C such as metals Ex: metals found in drinking water
7
Five Branches of Chemistry
(3) Physical- study of properties and changes of matter and their relationships to energy Ex: solar engineer, lasers, electrochemists
8
Five Branches of Chemistry
(4) Analytical- study of identification of components and composition of materials Ex: measurement, quality control chemist, flavor developer
9
Five Branches of Chemistry
(5) Biochemistry- study of substances and processes occurring in living things Ex: doctors, biotech firms, microbiologist
10
Quick Review Which branch of chemistry would… A) test a fish for mercury metal
11
Quick Review Which branch of chemistry would… B) synthesize a new drug containing carbon that would help cure cancer
12
Quick Review Which branch of chemistry would… C) design a wind turbine to generate energy
13
Quick Review Which branch of chemistry would… D) research the role of vitamins in the human body
14
Quick Review Which branch of chemistry would… E) measure the amount of potassium ion in your blood
15
Matter anything that has mass and takes up space Everything is made up of matter
16
Pure Substance matter that has uniform and definite composition All samples of one substance have identical physical properties
17
Physical Property quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition Intensive property= doesn’t depend on size Extensive property= depends on size examples
18
Physical Change alteration of a given substance without changing its composition examples
19
Chemical Reaction one or more substances changing to a new substance Reactants form products in a chemical reaction

22
Chemical Reaction
23
Chemical Property ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction and form a new substance.
24
Chemical Changes examples
25
Chemical vs. Physical In chemical rxns energy is absorbed or released, there is a change in color or odor, and the change can’t be reversed physically while most physical changes can be reversed
26
Physical and Chemical Properties
27
Physical and Chemical Changes
28
Law of Conservation of Mass
29
Law of Conservation of Mass
states that in any physical or chemical change, mass is neither created nor destroyed. It is conserved so that the mass of products equals the mass of the reactants.
30
Law of Conservation of Mass
magnesium and oxygen yield magnesium oxide 2Mg + O2 2MgO

Sum Up : Physical or chemical?
Bending a piece of wire Burning coal Cooking steak Cutting grass Corroding nail Dissolving sugar in coffee Fermenting a grape
32
Sum Up : Physical or chemical?
The following is a description of an unknown substance. The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal. Its density is 1.738g/cm3. The substance burns in air to produce an intense white light. It reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid. It can be pounded into thin sheets.
33
States of Matter A physical state of a substance is a physical property of that substance Handout
34
States of Matter
35
States of Matter What is the vocabulary associated with the phase changes between solid, liquids, and gases? How do phase changes occur? What is really happening to the particles of a substance during a phase change?

Building Blocks of Matter
41
Pure Substance Matter that has uniform and definite composition Matter that cannot be separated physically Elements and compounds
42
Element pure substance that is made of only one kind of atom simplest form of matter that can exist under normal laboratory conditions
43
Element
44
Element The periodic table organizes the elements Handout
45
Element
46
Atom An atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element
47
Compound substance that is made from the atoms of 2 or more different elements that are chemically bonded, and it can be separated by chemical means
48
Compound
49
Compound
50
Compound Properties of a compound are usually quite different from their elemental components
51
Compound
52
Mixtures physical blend of 2 or more kinds of matter and each retains its own identity and properties in the mixture Easily separated physically
53
Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform in composition
54
Mixtures Homogenous mixtures are completely uniform in composition; the components are evenly distributed throughout
55
Mixtures
56
Separation of Mixtures
Physical properties, filtration, distillation, magnetic properties, and solubility
