Chemistry

Chemistry

The Study of matter, its properties, and the Changes it undergoes

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, technologies, or processes

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, and mechanisms of reaction Systems.

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, and Solid

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, evaporation, filtration, or a centrifuge
