- 4. Chemistry • The study of matter – its nature, properties, and transformation. (McMurry and Castellion 2003) • The study of the composition, structure, properties, and interactions of matter. (Encarta, 2009) • The study of matter and the changes that it undergoes. Redmore • The study of the materials that make up the universe and changes these materials undergo. Chang.
- 5. Important Terms • Matter – the physical material that makes up the universe; anything that has mass and occupies space. • Property – a characteristic useful for identifying a substance or object. • Physical change – a change that does not affect the chemical make up of a substance or object. • Chemical change – a change in the chemical makeup of a substance.
- 6. Important Terms • Solid – a substance that has definite shape and volume. • Liquid – a substance that has definite volume but that changes shape to fill its container. • Gas – a substance that has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. • Pure substance – a substance that has a uniform chemical composition throughout.
- 7. Important Terms • Mixture – a blend of two or more substances, each of which retains its chemical identity. • Compound – a pure substance that can be broken down into a simpler substances by chemical reactions. • Reactant – a starting substance that undergoes change during a chemical reaction. • Product – a substance formed as the result of the chemical reaction.
- 8. Important Terms • Chemical reaction – a process in which the identity and composition of one or more substances are changed. • Element – a fundamental substance that can’t be broken down into any simpler substance. • Chemical formula – a notation for a chemical compound using element symbols and subscripts to show how many atoms of each element are present. • Periodic table – a tabular format listing all known elements.
- 9. Important Terms • Metal – a malleable element with a lustrous appearance that is good conductor of heat and electricity. • Nonmetal – an element that is poor conductor of heat and electricity. • Metalloid – an element whose properties are intermediate between those of a metal and nonmetal.
- 13. Phase Changes
- 15. ELEMENTS • An element is a fundamental substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances even by chemical means. • All known substances on Earth and probably the universe are formed by combinations of more than 100 elements. • Each element has a name, symbol and atomic number.
- 17. Classification of Elements • Metals • Nonmetals • Metalloids
- 18. Metals – Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. – Metals have high luster (they are shiny). – Metals are solid at room temperature. Mercury is an exception. At room temperature it is a liquid. – Metals are ductile (they can be drawn into wires). – Metals have high densities. – Many metals readily combine with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. – A few of the less reactive metals such as copper, silver and gold are found in the free state. – Metals can mix with each other to form alloys. – Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc. – Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin. – Steel is a mixture of carbon and iron.
- 19. Nonmetals • Lack luster (they are dull • Have relatively low melting points. • Have low densities. • Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- 20. Metalloids • Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
- 22. Number of Letters in the Symbol • One letter only • Two letters (First letter capitalized, next letter lower case) • Three letters, why?
- 23. Three letter symbols • 1960s • Rutherfordium • Kurchatovium
- 24. Elements’ Symbols and its Origin • Latin Names NAME SYMBOL LATIN NAME Sodium Na Natrium Potassium K Kalium Iron Fe Ferrum Copper Cu Cuprum Silver Ag Argentum Gold Au Aurum Mercury Hg Hydrargyrum Lead Pb Plumbum Antimony Sb Stibium
- 25. Elements’ Symbols and its Origin • Name of Scientist • Name of Place NAME SYMBOL Scientist Name Mendelevium Md Dmitri Mendeleev Nobelium No Alfred Nobel Einsteinium Es Albert Einsntein Curium Cm Pierre And Marie Curie Gadolinium Gd John Gadolin NAME SYMBOL Name of Place Americium Am America Francium Fr France Ytterbium Yb Ytterby in Sweden Polonium Po Poland
- 26. Elements’ Symbols and its Origin • Name of Planet • Name of Greek Mythology Character NAME SYMBOL Name of Planet Uranium U Uranus Neptunium Np Neptune Plutonium Pu Pluto Palladium Pd Pallas, asteroid NAME SYMBOL Name of Character Niobium Nb Niobe, the daughter of Tantalus Tantalum Ta Tantalus, king of Lydia and son of Zeus Thorium Th Thor, the god of thunder
- 27. Elements’ Symbols and its Origin • Greek Name • Name of Color NAME SYMBOL Greek Name Molybdenum Mo molybdos, meaning lead Neodymium Nd neos + didymos, “new twin” Praseodymium Pr prasios didymos mean “green twin Lanthanum La lanthanein, “to escape notice Rhodium Rh rhodon, “rose” NAME SYMBOL Color Name Indium In Indigo Iodine I purple
