Chapter 1 2
Chemistry: The Central Science• Most other sciences demand an understanding
of basic chemical principles, and chemistry is often referred to as the “central science”
• “Chemistry: The Central
Science”
by Brown/ LeMay/ Bursten

Chapter 1 3
Evolution of Chemistry• The Greeks believed in
four basic elements: earth, air, fire, and water.
• All substances were combinations of these four basic elements.

Chapter 1 4
Scientific Investigations• Science is the methodical exploration of nature
followed by a logical explanation of the observations.
• Scientific investigation entails:– planning an investigation– carefully recording observations– gathering data– analyzing the results

Chapter 1 5
The Scientific Method• The scientific method (as described in your
Basic Nutrition textbook) is a systematic investigation of nature and requires proposing an explanation for the results of an experiment in the form of a general principle.
• The initial, tentative proposal of a scientific principle is called a hypothesis.
• After further investigation, the original hypothesis may be rejected, revised, or elevated to the status of a scientific principle.

Chapter 1 6
Applying the Scientific Method
• Step 1: Perform a planned experiment, make observations, and record data.
• Step 2: Analyze the data and propose a tentative hypothesis to explain the experimental observations.
• Step 3: Conduct additional experiments to test the hypothesis. If the evidence supports the initial proposal, the hypothesis may become a theory.
• Also seen in p. 17 of Visualizing Nutrition: Everyday Choices textbook, copyright 2010)

Chapter 1 7
Scientific Method, continued• After sufficient evidence, a hypothesis becomes a
scientific theory.• A natural law is a measurable relationship.

Critical Thinking: Reactions with Oxygen
• What do burning wood, rusting iron, and exploding gasoline have in common?
• All three are examples of oxidation-reduction reactions (or redox reaction), which are chemical reaction.
• Combustion is a chemical reaction of a substance with oxygen.
• Rusting is slow reaction, burning is rapid reaction, and an explosion is instantaneous reaction.

Chapter 1 9
Modern Chemistry• Chemistry is a science that studies the
composition of matter and its properties.• Chemistry is divided into several branches:
– Organic chemistry is the study of substances containing carbon.
– Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other substances that don’t contain carbon.
– Biochemistry is the study of substances derived from plants and animals.

Chapter 1 10
Learning Chemistry• Different people learn
chemistry differently.
• What do you see in the picture?
• Some people see a vase on a dark background; some people see two faces. How about you?

Chapter 1 11
Problem Solving• Connect the dots using only four straight lines.• Experiment until
you find a solution.• Did you have to use
5 straight lines?• No matter which
dot we start with, we still need 5 lines.

Chapter 1 12
Problem Solving• Are we confining the problem?
• We need to go beyond the 9 dots to answer the problem.

Chapter 1 13
Chemistry, The Central Science• Knowledge of chemistry is important to
understanding the world around us.

Chapter 1 14
Chapter Summary• Scientists use the scientific method to investigate
the world around them.
• Experiments lead to a hypothesis, which may lead to a scientific theory or a natural law.
• Chemistry is a central science with many branches.
• The impact of chemistry is felt in many aspects of our daily lives.
