• One of the branches of science that plays an important role in meeting the needs of humanity is chemistry
Through chemistry, man is able to produce new and better products that help improve the quality of life, prevent and fight diseases, and provide abundant supply of the basic needs of the growing population.
Agriculture
• The new technologies developed by chemists and chemical engineers have improved
•farming and food production;
• and enhanced the flavor, appearance, availability, and
• nutritional values of food
Agriculture
•Fertilizer and Soil nutrients
•Crop Protection and Soil Management
•Food Processing, Handling, and Safety
•Food Storing and Packaging
Medicine
•Millions of human lives have been saved and improved by the medical breakthroughs developed through chemistry.
Medicine
•Chemists and chemical engineers were able to produce new drugs and medicines, create new medical equipment, and refine diagnostic procedures.
Medicine
•The advances in the field of medicine have prolonged the lives of people, improved their condition, allowed them to combat diseases, and made them live happily and healthily.
Medicine
•Drugs and Medications
•Medical Testing and Disease Diagnostics
•Innovative Healthcare Materials
Industry
•All aspects of human lives have been affected by the improvements in the field of chemistry.
•Industrial plants and processes rely heavily on chemistry and chemical products.
Industry
•The new materials derived from natural materials and from synthetic sources have contributed much to various industries.
Industry
•Ceramics
•Polymers
•Alloys
All forms of matter are made up of particles.
These particles, described as the building blocks of matter, are called atoms.
building blocks of matter
Scientists call this characteristic as particulate nature of matter.
The basic principles of the particulate model of matter are:
• (1) All matter is made of tiny particles.
• (2) There is empty space in between the particles.
• (3) The particles are in constant motion.
• (4) There are forces that act between the particles.
solid
Definite shape; maintains shape even upon transfer to another container.
liquid
No definite shape; takes the shape of the portion of the container it occupies.
gas
No definite shape; takes the shape of the container.
solid
Definite volume; no change in volume even upon transfer to a bigger container.
liquid
Definite volume; no change in volume even upon transfer to a bigger container.
gas
No definite volume; takes the entire volume of the container.
solid
Low compressibility
liquid
it is Low compressibility
gas
High compressibility
solid
High density
liquid
Lower density than solids
gas
Very low density
solid
Does not flow easily
liquid
Flows easily
gas
it Flows easily
solid
• It has definite shape and volume because its particles are closely packed together in a fixed position.
solid
These particles vibrate and are held together by strong attractive forces.
solid
• It is difficult to compress the particles.
liquid
• It has a definite volume and takes the shape of the container.
• Liquid flows easily because its particles have enough space and have less attractive force.
liquid
The spaces in the particles allows particles to be compressed a little bit.
gas
It takes the volume and shape of the container.
Gas particles are far from each other that is why they have the weak attractive force and can flow easily.
