 Chemistry is a Physical Science
Section 1 - Objectives
– Define chemistry
– List examples of the branches of chemistry
– Compare and Contrast
• Basic research
• Applied research
• Technological development
 Section 1-1
Chemistry is the study of the composition,
structure, and properties of matter and the
changes it undergoes.
What is it made of?
Makeup and internal arrangement?
What happens when we
heat?
cool?
Mix with other materials?
Why does this behavior occur?
 Section 1-1 (continued)
Six main Branches of Chemistry
Organic – deals with carbon containing compounds
Inorganic – study of substances not classified as organic, mainly those
that don’t contain carbon
Physical – study of properties, changes and relationship between energy
and matter
Analytical – identification of components and composition of materials
Biochemistry – study of substances and processes occurring in living
things
Theoretical – using math and computers to design and predict the
properties of new compounds
 Section 1-1 (continued)
A Chemical is any substance that has a
definite composition.
Section 1-1

The 3 often overlap –
understanding of
crystals and basic light
allowed lazers to be
created which lead to
fiber optics
 Matter and Its Properties
Section 2 - Objectives
– Distinguish between the physical properties and
chemical properties of matter.
– Classify changes of matter as physical or chemical.
– Explain the . . . states in terms of particles
• Gas
• Liquid
• Solid
– Distinguish between a mixture and a pure
substance
 Section 1-2
M&M
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter.
Measured in Kg, g and for the
less educated ☺in lbs and ozs.

So . . .Matter is anything that has mass and takes up

space.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Basic Building Blocks of Matter
An Atom is the smallest unit of an element that
maintains the properties of that element.

and . . .an element is a pure substance made of one

only kind of atom.

and . . .a compound is a substance that is made from

the atoms of two or more elements that are
chemically bonded.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Basic Building Blocks of Matter (continued)
An molecule is the smallest unit of an element or
compound that retains the properties of that element
or compound .

EXAMPLES

O2 H2O

Properties and Changes in Matter
Extensive properties Intensive properties do
depend on the amount not depend on the
amount of matter
of matter present present
– Volume – Melting pt.
– Mass – Boiling pt.
– Amount of Energy – Density
– Ability to conduct:
– Heat
– Electricity
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Physical Properties and Physical Changes
Physical property is a characteristic that can be
observed without changing the identity of the
substance
– Melting pt.
– Boiling pt.
A change in a substance that does not involve a change in
the identity of the substance is called a physical change
– Grinding
– Cutting
– Melting & Boiling
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Physical Properties and Physical Changes (continued)
Change of state is a physical change of a substance
from one state to another.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Chemical Properties and Chemical Changes
A Chemical property relates to a substances ability to
undergo changes that transform it into different
substances.
– Ability to burn in air
– Iron rusting by combining with the oxygen in air

A change in which one or more substances are

converted into different substances is called a
chemical change.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Chemical Properties and Chemical Changes (continued)
The substances that The substances that
react in a chemical are formed in a
change are called the chemical change are
reactants. called the products.

Carbon plus oxygen yields (or forms) carbon-dioxide

Carbon + oxygen  carbon-dioxide
C + O2  CO2
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Chemical Properties and Chemical Changes (continued)
Chemical changes and reactions, such as combustion
and decomposition, form products whose properties
differ greatly from those of the reactants.

However, chemical changes do not affect the

total amount of matter present before and
after a reaction. The amount of matter, and
therefore the total mass, remains the same.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Energy and Changes in Matter
When physical or chemical changes occur,
energy is almost always involved.

The energy can take several different forms,

such as heat or light.

Although energy can be absorbed or released in

a change, it is not created or destroyed. It
simply assumes a different form.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Classification of Matter - Mixture
A mixture is a blend of two or more kinds of matter,
each of which retains its own identity and
properties.
A mixture that is uniform in A mixture that is not
composition they are uniform in composition is
said to be homogeneous said to be heterogeneous
Examples Examples
salt-water solutions clay & water
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Classification of Matter – Pure substances
A pure substance has a fixed composition and differ
from a mixture in the following ways:

1. Every sample of a pure substance has exactly

the same characteristic properties.
2. Every sample of a given pure substance has
exactly the same composition.
 Section 1-2 (continued)
Classification of Matter – Laboratory Chemicals and Purity
Chemicals in laboratories are generally treated as if
they are pure. However all chemicals have some
impurities.

Purity ranking depends on the needs of the users.

 Elements
Section 3 - Objectives
– Use a periodic table to name elements, given their
symbols.
– Use a periodic table to write the symbols of
elements given their names.
– Describe the arrangement of the periodic table.
– List the characteristics that distinguish metals,
nonmetals, and metaloids.
 Section 1-3
Introduction to the Periodic Table
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called
groups.
The horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table are
called periods.

 Section 1-3
The periodic table is divided into two main
groups – metals and non-metals. Metals to
the left and non-metals to the right.

Types of Elements - Metals

An element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity is a metal.

Most metals are malleable – they can be hammered or rolled into

thin sheets
They are also ductile which means they can be drawn in to fine wire.
Metals that behave this way have a high tensile strength.
 Section 1-3

Types of Elements - Nonmetals

A nonmetal is an element that is a poor conductor of heat and
electricity.

Many nonmetals are gas at room temperature , when solid

they tend to be brittle.
 Section 1-3
Types of Elements - metalloids
A metalloid is an element that has some characteristics of
metals and some characteristics of nonmetals.

Metalloids tend to be semiconductors.

 Section 1-3
Types of Elements – Noble Gases
The elements in group 18 of the periodic table are generally
unreactive.
