chemistry concerns with

matters properties, composition, and behavior



matter is

anything that has mass and occupies space

mass is the amount

of matter contained in a thing

usually the mass of common things is measured in

grams or kilograms

define properties

qualities of a thing, especially those qualities common to a group of things

extensive properties

qualities that are or depends on the amount o the material


example) mass, volume, electrical resistance of a copper wire (depends on diameter and length)


flexibility of a metal sheet (depends on its thickness)



intensive properties

qualities that do not depends on the amount of the material


example) melting point, density, temperature, concentration, tension

golds melting point and density are two


intensive properties

that can be used to identify samples

properties depends on

material

physical properties

describe physical changes, which are changes of state or form

physical changes also describe

physical characteristics of a material

chemical properties desbribe

chemical changes


chemical changes are those in which a new substance or species

chemical properties also describe the tendency

of a chemical to react

chemical properties describe

the relationships or interactions between different forms of matter

chemical properties include

chemical's stability, its reactivity with other chemicals, its toxicity, and its flammability

physical properties also describe the

relationships or interactions between matter and energy

physical changes involve

the rearrangement of a material's own particles

chemical changes involve the

reorganization of two or more substances' atoms in relation to each other

physical properties depend solely

on the relationship between the materials owm particles

chemical properties depend

on the difference between the atom's current relationship and other atoms new relationships with different atoms

kinetic energy

any form of energy that cannot be stored

the particles of matter posses a type of kinetic energy called

mechanical energy due to their continuous movement

independent atoms have three types of mechanical energy/motion:

translational (movement from place to place)


rational (movement about an axis)


vibrational (a repetitive back and forth motion)

thermal energy

total mechanical energy of an objects or a materials particles


- also a extensive property

temperature

average mechanical energy of a particle that compose a material


- intensive property

increase in materials temperature indicates

average speed of the particles has increased

heat

energy transferred from one body to another because of a difference in temperature

catch 22

thermometer cannot measure the temperature without altering it

operational definition

consists of observable characteristics that help us classify things as belonging or not belonging to the defined group

conceptual definitions

explain what operational definitions describe

kinetic molecular theory exaplins

what happens to matter when the kinetic energy of particles changes

kinetic molecular theory key points

- all matter made up of tiny particles


- there is empty space between particles


- particles are always moving. their freedom to move depends on whether they are in a solid, liquid, or gas


- the particles move because of energy. the amount of energy particles have determine how fast the particles move and how much or far they move

solid conceptual definiton

- each particle bounces around pushing the ones surrounding it outward


- the particles have not spread far enough apart for any particle to fit in the gap between the particles surrounding it so the structure remains intact



liquid conceptual definition

the particles are travelling faster and striking each other harder


as a result they have spread apart to an extent where they can slip by one another

gas conceptual definition

the particles have been struck with enough force to escape their attractions to other particles in the liquid


they are now either too far apart of moving too fast for their attractions to affect their movement

phase change

freezing: liquid to solid


melting: solid to liquid


evaporation (vaporization): liquid to gas


condensation: gas to liquid


sublimation: solid to gas


deposition: gas to solid

particles can mean

atoms, molecules, or ions

melting point

temperature of its solid as it changes to a liquid



melting point depends on

- strength of the attractive forces (bond strength)


- mass/symmetry of particles

vapour

gas formed by substance that boils above room temperature is called vapour

boiling

vigorous bubbling that occurs within the body of a liquid as it vaporizes internally

bubble

is a quantity of gas or vapour surrounded by liquid

one definition of boiling point is

the temperature at which the substances vapour pressure (the pressure inside that bubble) equals the surrounding air pressure

another definition of boiling point is

substancese highest possible temperature in the liquid state at any given atmospheric pressure

what are the properties relevant to boiling

boiling point, vapour pressure, volatility

volatile substances are

substances that readily evaporate or evaporate at high rates


- high vapour pressure and low boiling points

heat of gusion

amount of heat required to melt a specified amount of substance at its melting point

potential energy

stored energy

heat of fusion measured in

joules per gram

heat of vaporization

amount of heat required to evaporate a specified amount of a substance at its boiling point

as the s olid melts slowly in its own liquid

the temperature of the liquid does not rise because any added kinetic energy is absorbed by the solid and converted into potential energy through melting

height = thickness

= mass/l*w*density

reactivity

refers to whether a substance reacts to its reaction rate

reactivity depends on

- path from reactants to products, particularly which reactant bonds require breaking


- depend on properties such as reactant concentration


- whether or not a reaction will occur depends on the beginning and end states

heat of formation

heat released when a substance is formed from its elements


- measured in joules per gram

heat of combustion

- heat released when a specified amount of a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen


- measured in joules or kilojoules pere gram
