Introduction to Chemistry Chemistry - Science that studies how molecules behave Molecules: Smallest unit particle of a pure substance that can exist independently and possess the identity of the substance Chemists ponder on things that make up the universe as molecules Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. Antoine Lavoisier (la-vwuh-zay) Father of modern chemistry Author of Traité Élémentaire de Chime Published in 1789, marks the beginning of modern chemistry Conducted experiments and formulated theories Revolutionized thinking that was accepted from the time of the Greeks Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. Beginning of Experimental Chemistry Phlogiston theory - All matter that has the ability to burn contains phlogiston In the process of burning wood, phlogiston is lost and ash remains Lavoisier’s phosphorus and mercury burning experiments Contradicted phlogiston theory Resulted in a new hypothesis When substance burns, it combines with oxygen in air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yJPs-_R1w Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.

States of Matter Differences among solids, liquids, and gases can be explained in terms of kinetic molecular theory Kinetic molecular theory: All matter consists of extremely tiny particles that are in constant motion Kinetic - Motion Molecular comes from molecule Molecules are attracted to one another The speed at which particles move is faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.
