Chemistry

the study of composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter

Matter

anything that occupies space and mass, which can be classified by state and by composition

Chemical

substance that has the same composition and property wherever it is found

a general approach that scientists use to solve problems


Four parts: observations, hypothesis, experiment, theory

Observations

what a scientist sees


Qualitative


Quantitative

Precision

depends on the number of times you get the same results

Accuracy

depends on the degree of closeness to the actual value

Percent error

determines how well you performed your experiment compared to a perfect experiment


percent error = 100% * [(experimentally determined - calculated value) / calculated value]

Density

describes how much an object weighs compared to its size


d = mass/volume


conversion factor and formula

Matter

anything that occupies space and mas, which can be classifies by composition and by state

Composition of Matter

pure substance or mixture

Pure substance

a substance containing only one type of atom or molecule


can be element or compound

Mixture

a substance composed of two or more different types of atoms or molecules that can be combined in variable proportions


heterogeneous (visible parts) or homogeneous (non visible parts)

Decanting

separates a liquid and a solid via carefully pouring off the liquid leaving the solid behind

Filtration

separates a solid and a liquid via pouring the mixture through a filter, which the liquid passes through but not the solid

Distillation

separates a miscible (mixes equally in all proportions) liquid by boiling off the one with the lower boiling point

Solid

fixed shape and volume


noncompressible

Liquid

variable shape


fixed volume


noncompressible

Gas

variable shape and volume


compressible

Physical properties

describe the APPEARANCE of the type of matter


extensive and intensive

Extensive property

depends on the amount of substance present


Ex: mass and volume


can change


extra

Intensive property

does not depend on the amount of substance present


Ex: density and boiling point


doesn't change

Chemical property

one that substance diplays only by changing its composition via a chemical change


Ex: flammability of gasoline

Energy

the capacity to do work


Joule (J)

Kinetic energy

energy of motion


Ex: running

Potential energy

the amount of energy that results from an objects position

elements

the fundamental building blocks of matter


116 of them


arranged in periodic table

Periodic law

Dmitri Mendeleev


when elements are arranged in order of increasing mass; certain sets of properties recur periodically

Periods

rows of the periodic table

Groups

columns with special names because of similarity of the chemical properties within

Metals

comprise most of elements


usually lose e- when involved in chemical reactions


make good electrical and thermal conductors

Nonmetals

located near the top right of the periodic table


usually gain electrons from metals and share electrons with nonmetals in reaction

Metalloids (semi-metals or semi-conductors)

both metal and nonmetal propeties


can be found in region of table between metals and nonmetal


B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te

Group 1A- Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr

Alkali metals


solid at room temp


react violently with water

Group 2A- Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra

Alkaline Earth Metals
