Science – systematic body of knowledge ; study of world around us

- comes from the Latin word scientia – means “to know”
Objective – refers to the manner by which knowledge is obtained
Pure Science – science that derives theories and predictions ; known as natural science
Applied Science- application of scientific method
Technology – “science craft” – comes from a Greek word “techne” –“art or skill of hand”

Traits of Scientist
1. Curiosity and Fascination – asking question “why” and wonder

2. Humility and Healthy Skepticism – humble enough to accept things; admits mistakes;
verify sources
3. Positive Attitude Toward Failure – learn from failure
4. Open- Mindedness – accept criticism
5. Perseverance – does not give up
6. Self-confidence – prepared to defend his work
7. Intellectual Honesty – acknowledged others contribution
8. Scientific Intuition – gut of feeling to predict
9. Aptitude for Serendipity – unexpectedly discovering or finding things
10. Ethics – what is right and wrong

Superstition – one’s explanation for the unknown

Pure Substances – forms of matter that have a definite and constant chemical composition
Dmitri Mendeleev – “the father of the periodic table”
Elements – pure substances that are made up of only one type of atom
- cannot be broken down into simpler substances
-118 elements
element symbols – chemical elements have abbreviations
Einsteinium (Es) – named after Albert Einstein
Curium – Marie Curie – pioneer in the study of radioactivity
Flevorium – named after George Flevor
Livermorium – named after Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Cesium – discovered by Bunsen – inventor of the Bunsen burner
Atomic Number – number of protons and Element’s Symbol –
electrons in an atom of an element 8 abbreviation of an
element
O
Element’s Name
Oxygen
Atomic Mass/Weight 16
number of protons + neutrons

Groups / families – elements that are vertically arranged

Periods / Series – elements which are arranged horizontally

Compounds – pure substances consisting of more than one type of atom

ex. table sugar ( C12H22O11), vetsin (C5H8NO4NA), bleach, table salt

metals – elements of the left side

nonmetals – elements on the far right side; solid, gas or liquid, brittle, not malleable or ductile

metalloids or nonmetals – between the metals and the non-metals

Properties of Metals:

 solid, hard , high melting points, high boiling points

 shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat
 ductile – drawn into fine wires
 malleable – easily hammered into thin sheets
 sonorous – produce sound when beaten
 tend to lose electron easily

Alloys – formed by combination of two or more metals, or a metal and non-metal

Illustration:

Element Compound

iron – king of metals oxygen - gas of life

calcium – comprises bones and teeth neon- used in advertising signs

gold – make jewelries mercury – found on thermometers

carbon- found in all living things sodium – combines with chlorine to make salt

chlorine – used in bleaches and purifying pools aluminum – used in kitchen utensils

element – pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances but can be chemically combined
with one another to produce another substance

Physical Properties

1. Luster – shiny in appearance

2. Volume – amount of space occupied by an object

3. Color – aspect of appearance of objects and light sources

4. Mass – amount of material it contains

5. Shape – appearance or form of a sample matter

Chemical Properties

1. Flammability - ability to be burnt and combustion

2. Oxidation – rusted or oxidized

3. Toxicity – poisonous

4. Acidity - being acidic

5. Stability – resistance to chemical change or physical disintegration
