  • Chemistry
    the science of properties, composition, and structures of matter, the changes it undergoes, and the laws and principles which govern these changes.
  • Branches of Chemistry
    1 Organic Chemistry
    2 Inorganic Chemistry
    3 Analytical Chemistry
    4 Physical Chemistry
    5 Biochemistry
  • Organic Chemistry
    study of chemicals containing carbon
  • Inorganic Chemistry
    all elements and compounds other than organic compounds
    • does not have carbon
  • Analytical Chemistry
    study of qualitative and quantitative analysis of element sand compounds
  • Physical Chemistry
    stuyd of reaction rates, mechanisms, bonding and structure, and thermodynamics
  • Biochemistry
    the study of the chemical reactions that happen within the biological process
  • Matter
    anything that occupies space and has mass
  • Volume
    amount of space it occupies
  • Mass
    amount of matter it contains
  • Physical Properties of Matter
    do not change as it is being observed
    • Intrinsic and Extrinsic
  • Intrinsic
    distinguish substance from another substance
    • do not depend on the amount of matter present
    • acidity, boiling point, hardness
  • Extrinsic
    depend on the amount of matter present
    • temperature, volume, shape,
  • Mass and Energy Relation
    developed by Albert Einstein
    • increase in mass increases energy and vice versa
    • any object with mass has an inherent amount of energy called "rest energy"
  • e = mc^2
    Formula for Mass and Energy Relation
  • Total Energy (e)
    rest energy (mc^2) + kinetic energy (1/2ms^2)
  • Physical Change

    only the physical properties of a substance is changed
  • Chemical Change
    identity of the substance is altered
  • Law of Conservation of Mass
    developed by Antoine Lavoiser
    • mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system through ordinary chemical or physical reactions
    • total mass of the reactants = total mass of the producers
  • Evidences of a Chemical Change
    1 Evolution of Heat and Light
    2 Evolution of a Gas
    3 Formation of a Precipitate
    4 Production of Mechanical Energy
    6 Production of Electrical Energy
  • Law of Definite Composition/Proportion
    elements combine in ratios of simple whole numbers to form a compound
    • every sample of a given substance always contain the same proportion by mass of its constituent elements
  • Law of Multiple Proportions
    in compounds, if one element is constant, other elements in different compound are in ratio of a small whole number
  • Isomer
    different compounds containing same elements
  • Energy in Chemical Reaction
    during chemical reactions, energy is either released or absorbed
  • Endothermic
    energy is absorbed/taken in
  • Exothermic
    energy is released
  • Reaction Activism
    series of chemical steps involved in a chemical reaction
  • Activation ENergy
    minimum amount of energy is needed to initiate a chemical reaction
  • Heat of Reaction
    total amount of heat released/absorbed
  • KJ/mol
    how heat of reaction is measured
  • △H
    used to symbolize heat of reaction
  • negative △H

    for exothermic
  • positive △H 

    for endothermic
  • Le Chatlier's Principle
    developed by Henri Louis de Chatlier
    • Change in Concentration
    • Change in Temperature
    • Change in Pressure/Volume
  • Pure Substance

    either element or compound
    • element always present in the same ratio in given compound
  • Element
    simplest form of substance that cannot be decomposed anymore
  • Metals
    hard and shiny elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity
    • often lose electrons
  • Nonmetals
    brittle elements that do not conduct heat or electricity very well
  • Metalloids
    borderline elements between metals and nonmetals
  • Compound
    substance formed with 2 or more elements combined chemically
