1 Introduction to Chemistry

2 Chemistry The study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter, the processes that matter undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany these processes.

3 Branches of Chemistry Organic – carbon containing compounds Inorganic – metals and anything not organic Physical – properties / changes / energy Analytical – identification and composition of materials Biochemistry – living things Theoretical – math & computers to understand

4 Research & Technology Basic Research – for the sake of knowledge Applied Research – to solve a problem Technological Development – improve quality of life

5 Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

6  Mass is a measure of the amount of matter.  Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.

7 Building Blocks of Matter Atom – smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element. Element – pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances and is made of one type of atom.

8 Compound – substance that can be broken down into simple stable substances. Each compound is made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded.

9 Extensive Properties  Volume  Mass  Amount of energy depend on the amount of matter present.

10 Intensive Properties  Melting Point  Boiling Point  Density  Electrical Conductivity do not depend on the amount of matter present.

11 Physical Properties  Density  Color  Melting point can be observed or measured without changing the identity of a substance.

12 Chemical Properties  Flammability (tendency of a substance to burn in air)  Reactivity  Toxicity relate to a substance’s ability to undergo changes that transform it into a different substance.

13 Physical Changes  If it is still the same substance when you are done with it, it is a physical change.  Ex: Crushing, tearing, Evaporating Water (still H 2 O), any phase change.

14 Chemical Changes  If it is NOT the same substance when you are done with it, it is a chemical change.  Ex: Cooking or burning something, Rusting metal.

15 How Do You Know?  Chemical Change: Bubbling, color change, temperature change.

16  Energy is always either used or given off in any physical or chemical change.  Energy cannot be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy). Energy

17 *Ask Yourself …  Has the change altered the identity of the substance?  If yes … Chemical Change  If no … Physical Change

18 States of Matter  Solid – definite shape and definite volume.

19 States of Matter  Liquid – indefinite shape but definite volume – takes shape of container.

20 States of Matter  Gas – no definite shape or volume – expands to fill container and takes shape of container.

21 States of Matter  Plasma – no definite shape or volume – a high temperature state where atoms lose most of their electrons.

22 States of Matter

23 Changes in State

24 Changes in Matter

25  Mixture: A blend of two or more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties. Can be separated.  Pure Substance: Has a fixed composition. Classification of Matter

26  Compounds (Ex: water, sodium chloride, sucrose)  Elements (Ex: gold, aluminum, oxygen, chlorine) Pure Substances

27  Homogeneous: same throughout (Ex: air, stainless steel, solutions like sugar-water)  Heterogeneous: not the same throughout (Ex: granite, wood, blood) *Mixtures

28  Filtration – pour liquid through paper that catches solid and lets liquid pass through.  Can only be used on a heterogeneous mixture of a liquid and a solid. Separating Mixtures

29  Distillation  Crystallization  Chromatography Separating Homogeneous Mixtures by……

30  Chromatography – solution is separated by allowing it to flow along a stationary substance. Separating Homogeneous Mixtures

31  Distillation – separates by different boiling points. Separating Homogeneous Mixtures

32  Crystallization – boil off or evaporate off the liquid and you are left with the solid. *Separating Homogeneous Mixtures

33 Intro to Periodic Table

34  Metals  Nonmetals  Metalloids Organizing the Squares  Groups or families – Vertical columns  Groups have similar chemical and physical properties.  Periods – Horizontal Rows

35  Luster - shiny  Conduct Electricity & Heat  Malleable – hammered into thin sheets  Ductile – drawn into wire Properties of Metals

36  No Luster – not shiny  Nonconductors  Brittle  Non-Ductile Properties of Non-Metals SULFUR Helium

37  Also called semimetals  Have properties of both metals and non-metals.  B, Si, Ge, As, Sb Properties of Metalloids

38 Group Names  Alkali Metals  Alkaline Earth Metals  Transition Metals  Halogens  Noble Gases

39  Inert Gases do not readily react.  Are gases at room temperature. *Noble Gases
