All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and
childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

Inferences & ObservationsInferences & Observations• Observation
– Detected with one’s senses or lab equipment– No explanations
• Inference– Explains what is observed based on prior
knowledge.– Like a hypothesis.

States of Matter and ChangesStates of Matter and Changes• Four primary states of matter…
– solid, liquid, gas, and high energy plasma.
• We observe physical or chemical properties:
• Physical property– can be observed without changing the substance.– (color, mass, others?)
• Chemical property– requires that the substance be changed to be
observed.– (flammability, others?)

Changes of MatterChanges of Matter• Physical change
– Substance does not change, just the form.– Examples?
• Chemical change– Original substance is lost, and a new substance is
formed.– Examples?
• Which kinds of changes are these?:– Burning, freezing, vinegar + baking soda, and
opening a soda bottle, boiling, rusting?

Chemical ReactionsChemical Reactions• “reactants” are placed on the left side of a
“chemical reaction equation”:
• “product”, is produced, placed on the right.
• Remember:
–“Reactants react to produce products”
• Law of the Conservation of Mass:–Mass is not created or destroyed in a
chemical reaction.

Energy TransferEnergy Transfer• The Law of Conservation of Energy
– energy cannot be created or destroyed.
• Energy can change form and be stored in various forms.– How is a flashlight battery like gasoline in a car?
• Exothermic process – releases energy.– (think exit energy)
• Endothermic process – takes energy from surroundings.– (think into energy)
• Can you think of an exothermic reaction?• Can you think of an endothermic reaction?

From the macro to the micro…From the macro to the micro…• We can classify matter in terms of its complexity:
• Mixture– Collection of two or more physically different
compounds.– Compounds don’t change their properties.
• Two types of mixtures:
• Homogeneous (“homo” = “same”)…– Homogenous mixtures cannot be easily separated
• Heterogeneous (“hetero” = “different”)– Heterogeneous mixtures can be separated with
simple mechanical processes. These often have “phases.”

– substance made up of two or more pure elements.
• Water is a compound. Why?
• Table salt is a compound. Why?
• A compound cannot be separated from its elemental makeup– (without destroying the compound)
• Compounds have very different properties than their elements.

The micro…The micro…• Elements
– simplest form of pure substances. – 112 known elements, found on the periodic table of
elements.– consist of a single type of atom.
• Water is NOT an element.• Pure diamond IS an element. Why?• Allotropes
– different forms of a single element.– different properties (due to different arrangements
of its atoms.)– Diamond and graphite are allotropes.

The The very microvery micro……• Atom
– smallest thing with the properties of something in the macro.
– protons and neutrons in the nucleus + electrons in electron orbits.
• Properties of atoms depends upon the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom– (we’ll get into atomic and sub-atomic theory later.)
• Isotopes– Two atoms with same number of protons (are the same
element) but a different number of neutrons.
• Ions ( + or - )– Atoms with a different number of electrons.

Three Main Areas of the Periodic TableThree Main Areas of the Periodic Table
• Metals, left side.– are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat
and electricity.
• Nonmetals, right side.– solids are brittle and poor conductors of e- and
heat.
Metalloids have some characteristics of both metals and
nonmetals

• The Noble gasses are found on the far right of the P-table. The Nobles are:
• …Mostly unreactive.• (*not entirely unreactive*)
• …Gasses at room temperature.• …Mined from gas pockets in the ocean• …Produce bright emissions when electrified• …Have filled octets. (octets?)

Theory vs. LawTheory vs. Law• TheoryTheory
– an explanation of observations of natural phenomena.
– explains whywhy things do what they do.– cannot be proven, but it has never been disproven.– If a theory is disproven, it must be modified or
rejected.
• LawLaw– a description of fact.– describes whatwhat willwill happenhappen.– Because a law is a description of fact, it cannot be
broken.End of chapter 1…

Measuring…Standard UnitsMeasuring…Standard Units• Kilogram – mass (kg)
– in lab, we will usually measure in grams, (g)
• Liter – volume (L)– in lab, we will usually measure in milliliters, (mL)
• Meter – length (m)
• Second – time (s)
• Kelvin – temperature (K)• AMU – atomic mass (amu) (more later)
• Mole – amount of substance (mol) (more later)

0K = absolute zero
273.15K = water freezes
373.15K = water boils

• Mega – (M) x106 (x 1,000,000)

Derived UnitsDerived Units• Derived units - products of standard units.• Volume, VV
– The SI unit is the cubic meter m3. m3 is huge, so we use the L, or mL (cm3).
• Density, ρρ (rho) (rho)– The amount of mass that is crammed into a certain volume.
ρρ = m / V = m / V.– Each compound has a unique density.– ( g/ml, g/cm3, or kg/m3 )
• Temperature EffectsTemperature Effects?– How does temperature affect mass, volume, density?

Measuring…Scientific NotationMeasuring…Scientific Notation• Scientific Notation
– a form of shorthand very small or very large numbers.
• Real decimal number, multiplied by a base-ten exponent.– The number is expressed with one digit to the left of
the decimal– and the base-ten exponent is always an integer.
• For instance, 135000 becomes 1.35 x105.
• Can you figure what 4500 is?• How about moving the decimal the other way…try
0.00056.

– how many digits to include in measurements and calculations.
– It is a measure of how precise our equipment is.• Rules: (shortcut coming)
– All non-zero numbers are significant.• 1, 2, 256, 952456
– Zeros between significant numbers are significant.• 303, 50034, 1001
– Zeros to the RIGHT of a decimal are significant.• 3.000, 24.0, 31.0000, 35.520

Two types of measurements, dataTwo types of measurements, data• Qualitative
– a description of an object.– “blue” “sticky” “smelly.”
• Quantitative– data expressed with numbers and units.– “42.3 kilograms” “14 milliliters” “3.80 grams.”– Always include units (g, mL, etc)
• To accurately describe a compound or solution in chemistry:– use color, transparency, and texture/state.– “A colorless, clear, liquid.” ?

Accuracy and PrecisionAccuracy and Precision• Accuracy
– closeness to an accepted value.
• Precision– closeness of a set of measurements.– We demand precision. How?

RelationshipsRelationships• Variable Relationship
– If one variable changes as another changes
• Direct relationship:– If A increases as B increases– If their quotient is a constant (y/x = k),
we say they are directly proportional.
• Inverse relationship:– If A decreases as B increases– If their product is a constant (yx=k), we
say they are inversely proportional.

A Little MoleA Little Mole• The mole is an amount, much like a
dozen.
• Referred to as Avogadro's number, the
mole is equal to 6.02x1023 things.
• We’ll find this number to be very handy later. For now, just know that when you
see one mole, that equals 6.02x1023 things.
