All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > Areas of Study The boundaries between the five areas are not firm. A chemist is likely to be working in more than one area of chemistry at any given time. For example, an organic chemist uses analytical chemistry to determine the composition of an organic chemical. 25 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > Areas of Study Pure chemistry is the pursuit of chemical knowledge for its own sake. 26 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > Areas of Study Pure chemistry is the pursuit of chemical knowledge for its own sake. The chemist doesn’t expect that there will be any immediate practical use for the knowledge. 27 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > Areas of Study Applied chemistry is research that is directed toward a practical goal or application. 28 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.

All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > Big Ideas in Chemistry Some of chemistry’s big ideas are as follows: chemistry as the central science electrons and the structure of atoms bonding and interactions reactions kinetic theory the mole and quantifying matter matter and energy carbon chemistry 35 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Chemistry as the Central Science Chemistry overlaps with all of the other sciences. Many physicists, biologists, astronomers, geologists, environmental scientists, and others use chemistry in their work. 36 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Electrons and the Structure of Atoms Carbon, oxygen, and copper are all examples of elements. Elements are composed of particles called atoms, and every atom contains a nucleus and one or more electrons. The type of products obtained in a chemical reaction is largely determined by the electrons in the reacting chemicals. 37 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Bonding and Interactions Most elements exist in chemical compounds, which are collections of two or more elements held together by relatively strong attractive forces. These forces, called chemical bonds, greatly influence the properties of compounds. – Weak bonds between the particles of an element or compound can also contribute to the properties of the material. 38 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Reactions Chemical reactions involve processes in which reactants produce products. – When you strike a match, the compounds in the head of the match combine with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. – New compounds, along with light and heat, are formed. – The compounds in the match head and oxygen are the reactants, and the new compounds are the products. 39 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Kinetic Theory The particles of matter are in constant motion. – The ways in which these motions vary with changes in temperature and pressure determine whether a substance will be a solid, liquid, or gas. 40 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA The Mole and Quantifying Matter In conducting a chemical reaction, you would want to use just the right amount of the reacting material so none is wasted. This precise measurement is possible using the mole, the chemist’s invaluable unit for specifying the amount of material. 41 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Matter and Energy Every chemical process uses or produces energy, often in the form of heat. – The heat changes that occur in chemical reactions are easy to measure. Changes in a quantity called free energy allow you to predict whether a chemical reaction will actually occur under the given conditions. 42 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 1.1 The Scope of Chemistry > BIG IDEA Carbon Chemistry There are about 10 million carbon-containing compounds, with new ones being prepared each day. – Many of these compounds, including plastics and synthetic fibers, are produced from petroleum. Carbon compounds are the basis of life in all living organisms. 43 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.
