1.1 Chemistry: The Central Science
Chemistry is often referred to as “The Central Science” because it is crucial to all other sciences.
3
Matter: Anything that has mass and occupiesspace – things you can see, touch, taste, or smell.Property: a characteristic that can be used todescribe a substance. Size, color, temperature aremost familiar properties of matter. Less familiarproperties include:Chemical composition: what matter is made of.Chemical Reactivity: how matters behave.
4
Physical Change: Does not alter thechemical makeup of a substance. Change isreversible. Melting of solid ice is a physicalchange. In this case only change in formtakes place and the change is reversible.Chemical Change: Alters chemical makeupof a substance. Change is irreversible.Rusting of iron is a chemical change. Here,iron combines with oxygen and produces anew substance rust.

States of Matter
6
Solids have A definite shape.A definite volume. Particles that are close together in a fixed arrangement.Particles that move very slowly.
Solids
7
Liquids haveAn indefinite shape, but a definite volume.The same shape as their container. Particles that are close together, but mobile.Particles that move slowly.
Liquids
8
Gases have An indefinite shape. An indefinite volume.The same shape and volume as their container.Particles that are far apart.Particles that move fast.

1.3 Classification of Matter
Pure Substance: Uniform in its chemicalcomposition and properties. Sugar and water
are pure substances.Mixture: Composition and properties mayvary. Different amounts of sugar dissolvedin water will determine sweetness of water.Sugar water is an example of a mixture.
13
Chemical Compounds: Substance that canbe broken down into simpler substances.Water is a chemical compound since it can bebroken down into hydrogen and oxygen bypassing electric current through it.Element: Substance that can not be brokendown chemically into simpler substances.Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen are example ofelements.
14
The classification of matter is summarized in Fig 1.4below.

1.5 Elements and Symbols
16
Elements are pure substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by ordinary laboratory processes.Elements are the building blocks of matter.There are 115 elements known today.

Sources of Some Element Names
18
Every element has a symbol that represents its name.Symbols consist of 1 or 2 letters. Only the first letter in a symbol is capitalized.Examples:1-Letter Symbols 2-Letter Symbols
C carbon Co cobaltN nitrogen Ca calciumF fluorine Al aluminumO oxygen Mg magnesium
Symbols of Elements
19
Several symbols are derived from Latin names.Some examples are shown below:
copper, Cu (cuprum) gold, Au (aurum)
iron, Fe (ferrum) silver, Ag (argentum)
Symbols from Latin Names
20
Carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are the most abundant elements in the human body.

The Periodic Table
Elements
25
The periodic table arranges elements according to similar properties.
Periodic Table
26
On the periodic table, each vertical column is called a group of elements.A group contains elements with similar chemical and physical properties.Each group is identified by a group number at the top of the column.The representative elements have group numbers of 1A – 8A. The transition element
Groups on the Periodic Table
27
Groups and Group Numbers
28
Numbering GroupsOne numbering system for groups assigns the letter A to the representative elements and the letter B to the transition elements.Another system assigns the numbers 1-18 to the columns across the periodic table.

Representative Elements
33
On the periodic table, each horizontal row is called a period. A period is identified by a number such as 1, 2, 3, or 4. Periods 2-7 include representative elements and transition elements.

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
37
Metals Are located to the left of the heavy line. Are shiny, ductile, and good conductors.
MetalloidsAre elements along the heavy line.Have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
NonmetalsAre located to the right of the heavy line.Are dull, brittle, poor conductors, and good insulators.
