Chemistry • What is chemistry? • The study of matter. • Questions that chemistry is trying to answer: • What is matter made of? • How does matter behave? • How is matter combined or taken apart?
Chemistry • What is matter? • Any substance that has mass and volume (takes up space) • Matter is the “stuff” that makes up the universe. • Matter always has certain properties (characteristics or features). • There are two types of properties…
Chemistry • Physical properties: • Any feature that can be directly observed without changing the chemical structure: • Colour • Texture • Smell • Density • Conductivity • Solubility
Chemistry • Chemical properties: • Properties that describe how it will react when combined with another substance to form a new substance with new properties.
Pure Substances • Elements: • Pure substance made of only 1 kind of atom • Has its own unique atom • Cannot be broken down into simpler substances • Always has a name in English or Latin • Always has a symbol • i.e. K – Potassium, Na – Sodium, Hg - Mercury
Pure Substances • Compounds: • Pure substance made of 2 or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion! • Smallest part is a molecule • Can be broken down with energy • Always has a formula • i.e. CuCl2, H2O2, H2CO3
Mixtures • Solutions: • Mixture in which one part has dissolved and spread out evenly in another part • Always homogenous • i.e. salt water, coffee, CuCl2 (aqueous)
Mixtures • Mechanical Mixtures: • Mixture in which one part is mixed with another part, but each part retains its own identity • Easily separable • i.e. iron filings and sulfur, raisin bran
Mixtures • Suspensions and Colloids: • A suspension is a mixture in which one part rises to the top while the other sinks to the bottom (heterogeneous). i.e. orange juice, salad dressing. • A colloid is a mixture in which the parts never settle out (a stable suspension). i.e. homogenized milk, mayonnaise,
