Chemistry
|
|
Why should you study chemistry
|
- It helps us understand our surroundings and the way we function.
- It plays a central role in medicine, engineering and many sciences. |
|
Why is pacific yew a bad drug source ?
|
•Removing the bark kills the tree.
•Six 100-year-old trees are used to treat each patient. |
|
Pacific yew bark extract has cancer-fighting properties.
|
Molecular Medicine
|
|
Why does the drug work?
|
It prevents microtubule breakdown.
It binds in a pocket in tubulin. |
|
Paclitaxel hinders cell division
|
Cancerous cells multiply faster than normal cells.
|

|
quantitative
|
|
summarizes a large number of experiment.
|
law
|
|
is a unifying principle to explain a body of facts and the laws based on them.
|
theory
|
|
is present before and after a physical change.
|
same substance
|
|
e.g. ice melting (solid water→liquid water).
|
physical state may change.
|
|
e.g. a lump of lead hammered into a sheet.
|
gross shape may change
|
|
e.g. a piece of wood is cut in two.
|
size may change
|
|
Measures relative energy (E) content of an object.
|

|
|
Density =
|
mass/volume
|
|
A chemical reaction that a substance can undergo.
|
chemical property

|
|
this mixture
two or more substances in the same phase. completely uniform. |
Homogeneous
|
|
properties vary from point to point.
may need a microscope to see variation |
heterogeneous
|
|
Cannot be decomposed into new substances
|
elements
|
|
Can be decomposed
have specific properties have specific composition |
compounds
|
|
objects are large enough to be seen, measured and handled without any aids.
|
macroscale
|
|
objects require a microscope to view them.
|
microscale
|
|
objects have dimensions ≈ an atom.
(nano: SI prefix for 10-9, so 1 nm = 1x10-9 m) |
nanoscale
|
|
“Matter consists of tiny particles in constant motion”.
|
kinetic molecular theory
|
|
Closely-packed particles often in regular arrays.
•Fixed locations. •Vibrate back & forth. •Rigid materials. •Small fixed volume. •External shape often reflects inner structure. |
Solid
|
|
•Particles are close, but farther apart than solids.
•Slightly larger, fixed volume than a solid. •More randomly arranged than a solid. •Constant collisions with neighbors. •Less confined, can move past each other |
Liquid
|
|
•Continuous rapid motion
•Particles are widely spaced. •Travel large distances before colliding. •No fixed volume or shape. |

•solids (except mercury –a liquid).
•conduct electricity. •ductile (can be drawn into wires). •malleable (can be rolled into sheets). |
Metals
|
|
•Occur in all physical states.
solids: sulfur, phosphorus, carbon. liquid: bromine gases: oxygen, helium, nitrogen. |
