Question | Answer |
---|---|
Examples of Chemistry in world | Biology, Chemistry, Physics |
Professions in Chemistry | Biochemistry, Pharmacist, Renewable engineer |
Chemical reactions | Dictate life, without them, nothing works or is alive |
Chemistry | A physical science; study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter. |
The process that matter undergoes, and energy change that accompany the process | Chemistry |
Branches of Chemistry | Organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, biochemistry, theoretical |
Organic Chemistry | Study of carbon molecules |
Inorganic Chemistry | Study of non organic substances (metals) |
Physical Chemistry | Study of properties of matter and relation to energy |
Analytical Chemistry | Identifying components of matter |
Biochemistry | Study of processes of living things |
Theoretical Chemistry | Using math and computers to understand and observe |
Important Chemicals | air (N2, O2), water (H2O), Caffeine, Sugar (C6H12O6) |
Penicillin | anti bacterial and infection |
Polythene | plastic fibers |
Evolution of Discovery | Basic Research -> Applied Research -> Technological Development |
Basic Research | Research done for the sake of knowledge |
Applied Research | Research carried out to solve a specific problem |
Technological Development | Involves production and use of products that improve our quality of life |
Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space |
Types of Matter | Macroscopic, Microscopic, Submicroscopic |
Macroscopic | Things we can see with the naked eye |
Microscopic | Things we can see only with Microscopes |
Submicroscopic | Things we can barely see with higher resolution microscopes |
Building blocks of matter | Atoms, Elements, Molecules, Compounds |
Atoms | Smallest unit of an element |
Elements | Pure substances that can not be broken down any more without losing its chemical identity |
Compounds | Pure substances that can be broken down into simpler substances (elements) |
Molecules | Smallest unit of a compound; atoms of two or more elements |
Physical Properties | Characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of a substance |
Examples of physical properties | Colour, Hardness, Melting point |
Types of Physical properties | Extensive, Intensive |
Extensive | Dependent on the amount of substance present (mass, volume, amount of energy) |
Intensive | Independent on the amount of substance (density, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity |
Chemical Property | A substances ability to undergo chemical change (irreversible) |
Example of Chemical Property | Rusting, Burning |
Changes of Matter | Physical and Chemical Changes |
Physical change | A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substances |
Chemical change | a change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances |
Signs of chemical change | Evolution of gas, colours, odor, temperature change |
States of matter | Solid, Liquid, Gas |
Classification of Matter | Pure substances, Mixture |
Pure Substances | elements and compounds |
Mixtures | blend of 2 or more kinds of matter, each of which retain their own identities and properties |
Types of mixtures | Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixtures |
Homogeneous mixture | non uniformed structure, composition throughout |
Heterogeneous mixture | mixture that is compound of dissimilar components, not uniformed throughout |
Homogeneous mixtures/solutions | composition may be in similar or different states of matter |
Heterogeneous mixtures/solutions | components may also be in same or different states |
Types of seperations | filtration, decanting, chromatography, distillation. |
