Matter and change Chapter 1 : Section 1 Objectives : Define chemistry List examples of the branches of chemistry Compare and contrast basic research, applied research, and technological development Chemistry – the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes
3. Chemistry deals with: What is that material made of? What is it’s makeup and internal arrangement? How does it behave and change when heated, cooled, or mixed with other materials and why does this occur?
4. Branches of chemistry Organic chemistry – carbon containing compounds Inorganic chemistry – all substances not classified organic Physical chemistry – properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy Analytical chemistry – identification or the components and composition of materials Biochemistry – substances and processes occurring in living things Theoretical chemistry – use of math and computers to understand principles of chemical behavior Define Chemical – any substance that has definite composition
5. Ways to do science Basic Research – carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge a. Teflon Applied Research – carried out to solve a problem a. new refrigerants to solve problem of ozone depletion Technological Development – production and use of products that improve our quality of life a. computer, catalytic converter, biodegradable materials
