The science of matter and the transformations it can undergo.
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.
A tentative idea to explain the observations.
Suggests further experiments to check if correct.
hypothesis
no numerical information
qualitative
contains “numbers”
quantitative
Extracts from Pacific-yew bark kill cancer cells.
qualitative
Compound “13a” is twenty times more effective than paclitaxel in killing ovarian cancer 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.
Temperature
Density =
mass/volume
A chemical reaction that a substance can undergo.
chemical property
Reactants change into different substances.
Chemical reaction
A cup of household bleach changes the color of your favorite T-shirt from purple to pink.
chemical change
An ice cube in your glass of lemonade melts.
physical change
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.
