What is Chemistry?The study of how atoms combine into molecules (and larger structures) and how those molecules act.What do chemists do? Chemists make and study molecules.
Chemistry. What good is it, anyway? What are the most serious problems in the country?
Thinking like a chemist:First class assignment How many golf balls will fit in this room? You have 5 minutes.
What if the golf balls were: too small to touch? individually invisible?
Business I • Class meetings: • Lecture MWF here • Lab once a week in Physical Sciences Bldg. • NO LABS this week- they start Monday • Class Rules- Syllabus (go over on Friday) • Course Materials: Text, Labs, Goggles, Clickers

How to do well • Sit in front • Read text chapter before and after we cover it • Do homework early and often • Avail yourself of help: • me • Keep up with material • Ask questions
Why is chemistry hard? • Atoms are really small. • About 100 types of atoms (each a chemical element). • Matter is made of atoms, mostly connected together in molecules and larger structures- infinite variety of combinations. • Lots of math.
Why is chemistry useful? • Atoms are really small. • About 100 types of atoms (each a chemical element). • Matter is made of atoms, mostly connected together in molecules and larger structures- infinite variety of combinations. • Lots of math.
Chapter 1 • Review- read it and know it. • Homework on it starting today.
Chapter 1: Matter and Measurement • Atoms and Elements • Molecules and Compounds • Classification of Matter • Properties of Matter and Measurement • Temperature • Mass • Volume • Unit Analysis Calculations (recitation)
Atoms-ElementsMolecules-Compounds • These are the chemical elements. • The smallest particles of which • are ATOMS. • Combinations of elements makeCOMPOUNDS. • The smallest particles of whichare MOLECULES.
