An Introduction to Chemistry Areas of StudyFive traditional areas of study are organic chemistryinorganic chemistrybiochemistry analytical chemistry physical chemistry

An Introduction to Chemistry 18

Organic chemistry is defined as the study of all chemicals containing carbon.

An Introduction to Chemistry 19Chemists study structures and processes in the human body. Inferring Does a bone contain mainly organic or inorganic chemicals?

Inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that, in general, do not contain carbon.

An Introduction to Chemistry 20Chemists study structures and processes in the human body. Inferring Does a bone contain mainly organic or inorganic chemicals?

The study of processes that take place in organisms is biochemistry.

An Introduction to Chemistry 21Chemists study structures and processes in the human body. Inferring Does a bone contain mainly organic or inorganic chemicals?

Analytical chemistry is the area of study that focuses on the composition of matter.

An Introduction to Chemistry 22Chemists study structures and processes in the human body. Inferring Does a bone contain mainly organic or inorganic chemicals?

Physical chemistry is the area that deals with the mechanism, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change.

An Introduction to Chemistry 23Chemists study structures and processes in the human body. Inferring Does a bone contain mainly organic or inorganic chemicals?

Pure and Applied ChemistryPure chemistry is the pursuit of chemical knowledge for its own sake.Applied chemistry is research that is directed toward a practical goal or application.An Introduction to Chemistry 24The Importance of Learning Chemistry Chemistry is important to everyone because chemistry occurs all around us in our daily lives. Chemistry looks inside ordinary objects to study how their components behave. Chemists develop new materials. Chemistry can produce new sources of energy. Chemistry can help to control diseases. An Introduction to Chemistry 25What Is Chemistry? Chemistry is the science that deals with the materials of the universe and the changes that these materials undergo. The goal of chemistry is to connect the macroscopic world you live in to the microscopic world that makes it all work. Molecular is a better word.An Introduction to Chemistry 26To understand scientific thinking To illustrate scientific thinking To describe the method scientists use to study nature Objectives 1.2 Section 2 Scientific InquiryAn Introduction to Chemistry 27Solving Everyday Problems Science is a framework for gaining and organizing knowledge.Science is a plan of action a procedure for processing and understanding certain types of information.Scientists are always challenging our current beliefs about science, asking questions, and experimenting to gain new knowledge.Scientific method is needed.An Introduction to Chemistry 28The Scientific Method The scientific method is a procedure for processing the information that flows from the world around us in which we: Make observations Formulate hypotheses Perform experiments An Introduction to Chemistry 29The Scientific Method

An Introduction to Chemistry 30The Scientific Method Theories Do Not Become Laws A natural law is a summary of behavior. A theory is our attempt to explain why it happens. An Introduction to Chemistry 31
