Chemistry arabic: al-kimya greek: khymeia latin: chimica ‘FUSION’ ~ 3,500 BC
Chemistry in Space Sugars Glycerol Amino Acids Diphosphates Star Formation Star Destruction ASTROBIOLOGY
PROPERTIES OF MATTER physical chemical density color odor reactivity EXPERIMENT I (determine w/o destruction of matter) (determine w/ destruction of matter) CHEMICAL REACTION STATE EXPERIMENT II
decomposition (water) EXPERIMENT IV EXPERIMENT III combination from two or more elements (exception: ozone O3)
ELEMENTS 1. cannot be decomposed by chemical means 2. different elements have different properties EXPERIMENT V 3. each element is assigned a unique chemical symbol (one or two letters) (common language) BOOK (118) • first letter is always capitalized • all remaining letter(s) are lower case
Measurements measurements are numerical (quantitative) observations how much? weight; volume; speed; energy; density; distance qualitative observations what? color, small
Measurements error* unit number *uncertainty
SI base unit measurement unit symbol length meter m mass kilogram kg time second s electrical current ampere A temperature Kelvin K amount of substance mole mol luminous intensity candela cd all units are derived from 7 SI base units
