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.

Figure 1.3 - Lavoisier’s Phosphorous Burning Experiment The ash that remains after the phosphorus is burned weighs more than the original phosphorus There is less air in the jar after burning than before Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Features of the Scientific Method Observing Proposing a hypothesis Hypothesis: Tentative explanation for observations Being skeptical Predicting an outcome that should result if the hypothesis is true Testing the prediction by an experiment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMGRe824kak Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Features of the Scientific Method Revising or changing the hypothesis Testing the revised or new hypothesis and predicting a new experimental outcome Upgrading the hypothesis to a theory Theory (scientific model): Hypothesis that is tested and confirmed by experiments under varied conditions without contradiction Conducting more experiments Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Chemistry Today Chemists study matter and its changes from one substance to another Investigate energy gained or released in chemical changes Holds a central position among the sciences: Research in chemistry overlaps in physics, biology, geology, etc. Industries employ chemists for: Research and product development Quality control and product supervision Sales Copyright ©2016 Cengage Learning.
