(C)2007 Prentice Hall 3
Science and Change
• The twentieth century saw a revolution in technological advances:– Automobiles– Electricity– Computers
• Everything has gotten much faster, even if we think things are still slow.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 4
Technical Advance Builds on Discovery
• Technical advances do not just happen.
• They depend on scientific discovery.
• 19th century was one of discovery:– Electrons– X-rays– Radioactivity
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 5
Changing Our Views of Matter
• X-rays and radioactivity changed ideas about atoms.
• Atoms can absorb and emit radiation.
• X-rays gave us pictures of molecules.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 6
Radiation for Good and Evil
• X-rays gave insights into the nature of penicillin and DNA.
• Radioactivity provided the means to split atoms and destroy the world.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 7
DNA
• X-rays provided a picture of the structure of DNA.
• The DNA double helix explains transfer of genetic information.
• We can modify the helix by genetic engineering.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 8
For Good and Evil
• Science has been used for great good…
• …and great evil.• What is good for some is
not always good for others.
• Arguments for or against are often complex.
• Science education helps us make informed decisions.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 9
Atoms – The Basis of Matter
• An atom is the smallest unit of matter.
• All matter is made of atoms.
• There are different types of atoms.
• Each type is an element.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 10
Elements and the Periodic Table
• The elements (about 114) are arranged in the periodic table.
• Each row is a period.• Each column is a group.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 11
Atomic Structure
• Atoms contain nuclei.• The nucleus contains
protons and neutrons.
• The nucleus is very dense and very tiny.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 12
Atomic Facts and Figures
• Atomic number: All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons.
• Each element has a unique atomic number.
• Neutral atoms contain same number of electrons and protons.
• Electrons live outside the nucleus.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 13
Particles, Clouds and the Illusive Electron
• Electrons were thought to be particles orbiting the nucleus like moons around a planet.
• The modern view is that they are “clouds” smeared out in space.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 14
Chemical Reactions
• Any chemical reaction involves electrons.
• Electrons are given, taken away or shared.
• Chemical reactions involve compounds – the combination of atoms.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 15
Elements and Compounds
• Elements contain only one type of atom:– Neon, Gold, Fluorine
• Compounds contain more than one type of atom in simple fixed ratios:– Carbon dioxide, water
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 16
Molecules and Bonds
• Molecules are the basic blocks of substances.
• Molecules contain atoms bonded together.
• Chemical bond is the interaction of electrons to join atoms together.
• Without bonds all matter would be a gas.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 17
Big Bang Theory
• Nitroglycerin is a molecule.
• It is unstable – decomposition of nitroglycerin produces an explosion.
• Dynamite (invented by Alfred Nobel) is a mixture of nitroglycerin with chalky material to make it more stable.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 18
Describing Reactions
• Chemical equations are ways to describe what happens in a chemical reaction.
• Symbols are used for the substances.
• Reactants are the starting materials.
• Products are obtained in the reaction.
• Arrows show the direction.
Reactants Products
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 19
Anatomizing the Reaction
• Existing chemical bonds are broken.
• New chemical bonds are made.
• The number of atoms remains the same.
• They just change places.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 20
The Chemical Formula
• Subscripts tell us how many atoms of each element are in the molecule.
• Each molecule of TNT contains:– 7 atoms of carbon– 5 atoms of hydrogen– 3 atoms of nitrogen– 6 atoms of oxygen

(C)2007 Prentice Hall 22
Models and Molecules: Visualizing the Unseen
• We use models to show the atoms in molecules – balls and sticks.
• Computers use molecular models to design new drugs.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 23
Clean or Pure?
• A pure substance is one that contains only one element or compound.
• Something that is “clean’ is probably not strictly pure – a mountain stream contains salt.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 24
Mixtures are Impure
• Nature tends to mix things – more than one pure substance mixed together.
• Homogeneous mixture is uniform on a molecular level (a solution).
• Heterogeneous mixture is non-uniform – a bottle of Dulcolax.

Let’s Get Physical
• Components of a mixture can be separated (purified) by physical means.
• Physical is altering a substance without any changes to the chemical composition.
• A saline solution (mixture) is still salt and water.
• Water can be removed by evaporation.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 27
Chemical Changes
• Chemical change involves breaking down a substance into other substances.
• Boiling (physical) converts water into steam.
• Electrolysis (chemical) converts water into hydrogen and oxygen – new substances:

Questions of Science
• Scientific discoveries create complex questions:– Discovery of the atom led to potential for source of
power combined with radioactive waste.
• Should scientists be free to pursue any research?
• Should government control scientific progress?• What is the progression of science?
– Research normally follows a logical progression.– Interest focuses on problems that impact humanity.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 30
The Importance of Publication
• Results of chemical research are submitted for publication.
• Publication involves peer review by other scientists.
• Publication and peer review establish the legitimacy of scientific progress.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 31
What is Science?
• Science conforms to rules and conventions.
• Without rules it is meaningless.• Hypothesis is the basis of the scientific
method.• A proposal about how something behaves
which is testable by observation.• Hypotheses that cannot be tested are not
scientific (the supernatural).

(C)2007 Prentice Hall 33
Theory and the Method
• A theory is an explanation of the observed phenomenon using experimental data.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 34
Which Side is Your Bread Buttered?
• Scientific hypothesis must be subject to experimental test.Hypothesis: The buttered side of bread always lands face down on the floor.
• Test by dropping bread on the floor many times.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 35
Results and Theories
• Buttered side lands face down 90 % of the time.
• Formulate a theory: the height of the table determines what side the bread lands.
• Experiments test a theory but never prove it.
• The next experiments may falsify it.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 36
Numbers and Units in Science
• Scientists measure very large numbers: – 160,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000 atoms in a coin.
• And very small numbers:– The diameter of the
atom is 0.000 000 000 153 meter.

Many measurements in science involve either very large numbers or very small numbers (#). Scientific notation
is one method for communicating these types of numbers with minimal writing.
GENERIC FORMAT:GENERIC FORMAT: # . # #… x 10 # . # #… x 10##
A negative exponent represents a number less than 1 and a positive exponent represents a number greater

Metric System – a Unit for All Occasions
• Systeme Internationale (SI) is standard units for science.• Prefixes adjust the scale to suit the object:
– 1 m = .001 km– 1 m = 1,000 mm– 1 m = 1,000,000,000 nm
• System is based on powers of ten for easy use.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 43
MEASUREMENTSMEASUREMENTS There are different types of measurements that can be
made in the laboratory like mass, time, volume, and length.
These measurements can be made using either the metric system or the English system. The metric system is based on increments of 10.
1 base = 100 centibases “c” = centi
1 base = 1000 millibases “m” = milli 1 kbase = 1000 bases
1 base = 106 microbases “” = micro k = kilo
1 base = 109 nanobases “n” = nano
The first step to understanding measurements is to learn the types, symbols, & units associated with these measurements.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 44

Units of Volume
• Standard metric unit for volume in chemistry is milliliter mL.
• Equivalent in cubic centimeter cm3 or cc.
1 mL = 1 cm3 = 1 cc• Other volume units are
nanoliter (nL), picoliter (pL) and femtoliter (fL).
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 51
Some Like it Hot: Temperature Measurement in Science
• Temperature is related to molecular motion.
• As motion decreases, T decreases.
• At absolute zero all motion ceases.
• SI unit for temperature is Kelvin.
• Kelvin scale has absolute zero as zero reference point 0 K.
(C)2007 Prentice Hall 52
Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin
• Converting between Celsius and Kelvin:– Moving the reference
K = ºC + 273.15
ºC = K + 273.15• Converting between
Celsius and Fahrenheit:– Move the reference and
change the scale
ºC = 5/9(ºF – 32)
ºF = 9/5(ºC) + 32

Introduction to Density Density is the measurement of the mass of an object per
unit volume of that object.
d = m / V Density is usually measured in g/mL or g/cm3 for solids or
liquids.
Volume may be measured in the lab using a graduated cylinder or calculated using:
Volume = length x width x height if a box or V = r2h if a cylinder.
Remember 1 mL = 1 cm3
