Ch 1 Chemistry Honor
| 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. |
