Chemistry is extraordinary
Chemistry is the science of
matter and the changes it can
undergo.
It embraces everything material around us-
the stones we stand on, our food and
silicon to make computer chips and more!
4
Dating 1250 to 850 BC
Early examples of chemistry at work.
5
Copper (Cu) is easily
extracted from its ores.

The Bronze Age followed
the discovery that adding
tin (Sn) to copper made
the metal harder and
stronger.
At one level, chemistry is about matter
and its transformations.

We can actually see the changes, a leaf
changes color in the fall, or magnesium
burns brightly in air.
6
Chemistry at Three Levels
This level is the (1)
macroscopic level, the level
dealing with the properties of
large, visible objects .
At a deeper (2) microscopic level,
chemistry deals with the
rearrangements of atoms.

The third level is the (3) symbolic
level, using terms, chemical symbols
and mathematical equations.
A chemist thinks at the microscopic
level, conducts experiments at the
macroscopic level, and represents
both symbolically.

Chemistry at Three Levels

Scientists pursue ideas in an ill-defined but effective
way called the scientific method.

There are no strict rules or procedures, and answers
are not always available.


Many properties of matter are not described by
grand laws; superconductivity, a major puzzle,
might be resolved in the future by finding the
appropriate law.
How Science Is Done

How Science Is Done
Scientists are either meticulous, or highly creative. The
best scientists are a bit of both.

Scientific methods vary, yet our goal is to collect data
from our observations and measurements .


Patterns in our data, can be stated as a scientific law, a
succinct summary of a wide range of observations.

,,Atoms are building blocks of matter
Negative electrons are embedded in a
sea of positive charge
Positive charge is located within a central
nucleus

Matter is any object with mass and volume, such as a
planet or the substances that makes up the planet or
everything on the planet;


Only a little over 100 different type of atoms are on our
planet.


Objects not included are shadows, affection, justice.
14
Matter and Energy
In Chemistry Substance is a single, pure form of matter.
15
Matter and Energy
Are they related?

All objects move, except at the hypothetical temperature
zero Kelvin.

A common energy formula:

2
2
shows the
relationship between energy, mass and speed.

We see in many energy equations this mass and motion
relationship.

Matter has mass and volume.

3-states of matter
a) Solids
b) Liquids
c) Gases





Whats the difference between these
three states?
Speed
Atoms begin to oscillate
faster as temperature is
increased.

Properties and Changes

Physical: identifies that material

3. Electrical
4. Volume

Chemical: identifies that chemical process (ability to
change into another chemical)
1. Reduction oxidation potential
2. Solubility
3. Thermodynamics, is it spontaneous
Any characteristic that describes or identify matter is called property

Properties and Changes
Changes are an alteration or process

What are Important Digits
Science is collecting data and reporting our results.

We have to justify our data by reporting the correct
number of digits from our measurements.

We only write the correct number of digits in our reports,
these are called significant figures.

The number of significant figures in our calculations
cannot exceed our data measurements.

You can't generate data from a calculator!
Measurements: Measured
Measured number come from measuring tools.

The problem is measuring tools are not exact ; accuracy is
determined by the manufacture.

digits
There are two types of digits
1. Exact
2. Measured

Exact are either:
Counting (Im holding 5 fingers) or are,

Definitions (60 seconds = 1 minute), these have an infinite
number of digits, so 5 fingers means 5.00000 with an
number of zeros.

All other numbers are measured with a measuring tool,
hence are inaccurate.

Measurements: Exact

1. Counting

2. Definitions

5 fingers on one hand
Exact numbers have infinite () precision!

For numbers ending in 5, always round to the nearest
even number. 0 is considered as even number.

Electromagnetic is the energy due to attractions and
repulsions between electric charges.

The crucial distinction is that electric fields affect charged
particles whether they are moving or still, and magnetic
fields affect only moving charged particles.
Total Energy = KE + PE

A ball thrown up has high KE and
zero PE. At the top of its flight, it has
zero KE and high PE. On the return,
its KE rises and its PE approaches
zero again.

On impact its energy is dissipated as
thermal motion, the chaotic,
random motion of atoms and
molecules.
