Presentation Transcript

  1. Homework: • Read Chapter 1(pages 2-3) in the textbook and answer the questions on worksheet 1: Matter and Change • You may also use the PowerPoint presentation to help you • Quiz scheduled October 1st and 2nd • Test scheduled for Oct 29 / 30

  2. Introduction to Chemistry Unit 1

  3. CHEMISTRY: • The study of the composition of matter • Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space • Biochemistry: Study of living organisms • Organic: Study of all carbon containing substances

  4. CHEMISTRY: • Inorganic: Study of substances that don’t contain carbon. • Physical: Chemistry that uses theories and experiments to describe the behavior of chemicals. • Analytical: Study of the composition of substances.

  5. Scientific Method • Logical approach to the solution of scientific procedures

  6. OBSERVATION • Used senses to obtain information directly HYPOTHESIS • Educated guess as to what you have observed

  7. EXPERIMENT • The means to test a hypothesis THEORY • Broad and extensively tested explanation of why experiments give certain results

  8. SCIENTIFIC METHOD Observation Experiments Hypothesis THEORY

  9. THEORIES • Can never be proven • May be disproved by another experiment • Can predict the behavior of a natural system • Explains WHY substances behave the way that they do.

  10. SCIENTIFIC LAW • Concise state that summarizes the results of many observations and experiments • Explains what not why • Can be expressed as a mathematical relationship

  11. Matter versus Energy • Matter: space and takes up mass (volume and mass) • Energy is a force that acts upon matter

  12. Weight versus Mass • Mass will not change with location • Weight: force or pull on matter by gravity • Energy is not considered matter. • Energy has no mass and does not take up space. • Energy is a force that acts upon matter.
