Study Notes
The Scope of Chemistry
- Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes.
- Chemistry is important because all living and nonliving things are made of matter.
- Everything is made of matter, therefore everything contains chemicals.
- It is incorrect to claim that natural products are free of chemicals.
Areas of Study
- Five traditional areas of study in chemistry are organic, inorganic, biochemistry, analytical, and physical chemistry.
- Organic chemistry is the study of chemicals that contain carbon.
- Inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that generally do not contain carbon. It is often associated with substances found in nonliving things like rocks.
- Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur in living organisms.
- Analytical chemistry focuses on the composition of matter.
- Physical chemistry studies the mechanisms, rates, and energy transfers that occur when matter undergoes a change.
Big Ideas in Chemistry
- Chemistry is a central science that overlaps with other sciences like physics, geology, and biology.
- All elements are composed of atoms which contain a nucleus and one or more electrons.
- Most elements exist in compounds, which are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds influence the properties of compounds.
- Chemical reactions involve processes that form new products from reactants. These processes are important in many everyday occurrences, like fire.
- The kinetic theory explains that the particles of matter are in constant motion.
- The mole is the unit for specifying precise measurements of matter.
- All chemical processes involve energy transfer, often in the form of heat.
- Carbon is a key element found in about ten million different compounds, including plastics and synthetic fibers.
