Chemistry

Chemistry - the study of the structure,
composition, properties, and the behavior of
matter.

❏ Matter- anything that has mass, volume, and

inertia
- elements make up matter
- elements are made of building blocks

called atoms

Kinetic Molecular Theory

❏ Matter is made of tiny particles (atoms)
❏ particles are in constant motion.
❏ The higher the temperature, the greater the

motion (kinetic energy).

❏ Attractive forces between the particles

determine whether the substance is a solid,
liquid, or gas.

Pure Substance - matter with definite composition
and chemical properties
❏ Element - pure substance made of only one

kind of atom.

❏ Compound - two or more elements are

chemically combined in fixed whole number
ratio

Mixture - two or more substances that are not
chemically combined.
Homogeneous mixture - uniform throughout
Heterogeneous mixture - not uniform throughout

Classifying matter

Compounds have chemical formulas

chemical formulas - show the number and kinds of atoms. the small number is called a subscript. It is written below and to the right of the element symbol

• compounds are held together by chemical bonds
• chemical reactions are needed to separate elements in compound

Multiple Choice

How many different elements are present in H₂C₂H₃O₂?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Multiple Choice

How many aluminum atoms are found in Al₂O₃?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not a compound

• H₂O - water

• NaCl - table salt

• Ag - silver

• H₂O₂ - hydrogen peroxide

heterogeneous mixtures

not uniform throughout

Multiple Select

• chunky spaghetti sauce

• air

• beach sand

• apple juice (filtered)

Multiple Choice

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Multiple Choice

Which one of the following is a pure substance?

• homogeneous mixture like salt water

Multiple Choice

This particle diagram show a sample of matter that is a _____

• element

• compound

• mixture

Property – characteristic that allows us to
recognize a particular type of matter and
distinguish it from other types

Each substance has a unique set of physical
and chemical properties.
Extensive property - depends on the amount
of matter in substance (ex: mass, volume)
Intensive property - does not depend on the
amount of matter (ex: absorbency)

Properties of Matter

Physical Properties - measured without
changing the substance.
ex: color, density, odor, melting point, state of
matter, solubility

Properties

Chemical Properties describe how
substances react or change to form different
substances
ex: reactivity with oxygen ( like rusting),
reactivity with water, radioactive decay, lack
of reactivity

Solid – matter with a definite
shape and volume, strong
intermolecular forces, not easily
compressible

Liquid – matter with no definite
shape but definite volume

Gas - matter with no definite
shape and no definite volume

Properties – states of matter

⚛

density is defined as: mass per unit
volume

⚛

The equation for finding density of
substance is

Density = Mass

Volume

most common units :

grams/milliliter (g/mL)

grams/cubic centimeter (g/cm3)

Density

❏ Use differences in

physical properties

❏ techniques

a) sieving
b) filtration
c) evaporation
d) condensation
e) chromatography
f) distillation

Separating mixtures

Physical changes - change in matter from
one form to another without changing
chemical properties

ex: change in state like melting or boiling,

change in size

Changes

Chemical changes - change in matter that
produces one or more new substances with
new chemical composition
Ex: rusting of an iron nail, burning fuel

Changes

Signs of a Chemical Change
1. transfer of energy

a. temperature changes
b. light released

2. color change
3. production of gas
4. formation of precipitate

a. precipitate - solid that forms and settles out of

liquid mixture

Changes

Law of conservation of mass - states that
matter is neither created or destroyed
during a chemical reaction
