Chemistry Fundamentals: Matter, Properties, and Branche

Chemistry - The Study of matter

its properties

Matter - Anything that has mass and takes up space

Pure Chemistry - Research that is conducted to learn the existing principles of Chemistry

Applied Chemistry - Research that is conducted to solve a problem

and that can lead to the development of new products

Organic Chemistry - The branch of chemistry that focuses on compounds containing Carbon

Inorganic Chemistry - The branch of chemistry that focuses on compounds that do NOT contain carbon

Biochemistry - The branch of Chemistry that studies the chemicals and processes that occur in living things.

Analytical Chemistry - The branch of chemistry that focuses on the determination of the chemical makeup of materials (Identifying and measuring the makeup of something)

Physical Chemistry - The branch of chemistry that focuses on the energy

rates

Physical Property - A Characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the Substance's identity.

Extensive Physical Property - A property that depends on the amount of matter

Intensive Physical Property - A property that is not dependent on the amount of matter

Chemical Property - A Characteristic of a material that describes its reaction potential. It can only be observed during a chemical reaction.

Physical Change - A process that results in different properties being observed

but the identity of the matter stays the same.

Chemical Change - A process that results in different properties being observed because the identity of the matter does change.

what are the three most common States of matter - The three most Common States of matter are gas

liquid

Mixture - A physical blend of materials with no definite proportions

Solution - A homogeneous mixture

Chemical Equation - Reactants are on the left of a chemical equation

Products are on the right

Element - A pure substance that cannot be broken down into smaller components by ordinary chemical means.

Compound - A pure substance formed when two or more elements in fixed proportions are Chemically bonded

Chemical Symbol - An abbreviation used to represent an element

Chemical Formula - Representations of compounds

Conversion Factor - A ratio (in the form of a fraction) of equivalent measurements used to convert from one unit to another

whats distillation - Separation technique that purifies liquids by selectively heating a mixture to vaporize its components

then cooling the vapor to condense it back into a liquid

Whats the ways a mixture can be separated - By hand

distillation
