> Study of the properties and behavior of matter

 It is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for

understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level

Botany - chemistry explains aspects of plant chemistry

Geology - the formation of igneous rocks
Ecology - atmospheric ozone is formed and how environmental pollutants are
degraded
Pharmacology -how medications work
 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
At the end of the unit, you are expected to:
 
1. Differentiate the classification of matter based on its properties and characteristics.
2. Differentiate physical change from chemical change based on its product
3. Write the electronic configuration of the elements
4. Determine the position of the elements in periodic table
5. Identify the orbital in quantum numbers
6. Write the chemical formula of substances
7. Perform calculation in stoichiometry
8. Predict the product or reactant in a chemical reaction
 
Unit I: Matter
 

Introduction:
Let’s begin our study of chemistry by examining some
fundamental ways in which matter is classified and
described.

Two principal ways of classifying matter are

according to its physical state
a. (as a gas, liquid or solid)
b. according to its composition (as an element,
compound or mixture)
 
Alloys- mixture of metal to metal

Composition- list of the chemical ingredients (compounds,

elements or radicals) making up the composition or compound

Compounds-  substance composed of atoms of 2 or more element

chemically combined in fix proportions

Decomposition-separation of compounds to elements

Substance-form of matter that has definite or constant

composition.

Atom-basic unit of element that can enter chemical reaction

Matter
•Occupies space and has mass
•Can be invisible
Made up of tiny particles called atom States of Matter
 SOLID LIQUID GAS

Shape: definite indefinite(but it no fixed shape
can assume the
shape of
container
Volume: definite Definite indefinite
Particles: compact are closed far apart, move
together, move independently
freely

Compressibili very slight- less than liquids and very slight- the actual
ty: gases greater than volume of the
solid less than gas particles is
gases small compared
to the volume
occupied by the
gas

Classification 1. Amorphous M,
: - intermediate arrangement
e.g. glass, plastics, gels
2. Crystalline
- 3 dimensional
e.g. diamond, metal, salt
Differentiate the following:
1. Pure Substance vs Mixture
2. Elements vs Compounds
3. Homogeneous Mixtures vs Heterogeneous Mixture
4. Physical Change vs. Chemical Change
Classify each of the following as a pure
substance or a mixture

a) Water

b) Softdrink

c) Mercury

d) Carbon dioxide

e) Bronze

f) air
 MATTER
Classification
 
Pure Substance Mixture

Homogenous
Compounds Heterogenous
Elements -2 or more substances
-2 or more substances
-made up of 1 -made up of 2 or that is soluble e.g. salt in
that can be separated-e.g
more atoms water
atom suspension, colloids

 
 
 
 
  Single component Two or more components
  Fixed composition
  Variable composition
  Retains its chemical identity
  Ex. Oxygen , water Ex. Cup of coffee
 
 
Classify each substance as an element or a
compound
a.) copper wire

b. Table salt

c. Iron nail

d. Baking soda

e. Hydrogen peroxide

f. oxygen
Matter
Pure Substance

Element Compound

One type of atom two or more atom

Chemically combined
Classify each mixture as homogeneous or
heterogeneous
a. Fruit salad

b. Concrete

c. Soil

d. LPG

e. Cement

f. Stainless steel

g. Rubbing alcohol

h. Halo-halo

i. Oil and water

Mixture

MIXTURE

HOMEGENEOUS HETEROGENEOUS

(SOLUTION)

UNIFORM NOT UNIFORM

THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT

EX. Cup of coffee EX. Oil and water

 Classify each process as a physical or a
chemical change
a. Lighting a match

b. Chopping wood

c. Baking soda

d. Cutting paper

e. Rusting of iron

f. Melting chocolate

g. Evaporation of water

h. Crushing of a metal can

i. Growth of a plant
 Physical change Chemical change

Chemical reaction

Substance changes its Substance changes its

physical appearance but composition and a different
not its composition substance is formed

Phase change( physical change)

Ex. Transformation of liquid –solid
Solid to liquid
Acivity
Give at least 5 examples of each classification of matter

a. Elements
b. Homogeneous
c. Compounds
d. Heterogeneous
 Classification of Elements

Metals Non-Metals Metalloids

Properties: -solid at room -dull -intermediate

temperature -low melting point between metals
except Mercury -low density and non metals
-shiny -poor conductor - no principle
good conductor of
heat and electricity
-malleable and
ductile
-high melting point
and boiling point
-high density
-can combine to
non-metal forming
ionic compounds
-forming alloys
-brittle
Example: Na, mg, Ca, Cu, Zn C, P, S, Se, I, Br B, As, Ge, Si, Te,
Sb, Po
 MATTER
Properties of Matter
1. Physical Property
-substance that are determined without changing its composition
e.g. taste, color, physical state, melting point, boiling point

2. Chemical Properties
-it forms new compounds, it will undergo decomposition
Types of Changes of Matter
1. Physical Change
-changes in size, shape, density but not its composition
e.g. ice into water, water into steam, tearing of paper, heating platinum wire
2 . Chemical Change
-new properties, composition and substance are formed
e.g. burning of wood/paper, heating of copper wire
