Chemistry I Chapter 1 Outline
MATTER AND CHANGE
For graded assessments, you will need to be familiar with the following
terms:
chemistry, chemical, mass, matter, atom, element, compound, extensive
properties, intensive properties, physical property, physical change, change of
state, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, chemical property, chemical change/chemical
reaction, reactants, products, mixture, homogeneous mixtures, heterogeneous
mixtures, solutions, pure substances, groups/families, periods, metal, nonmetal,
& metalloid.
I.
CHEMISTRY IS A PHYSICAL SCIENCE
A. What are the 6 major branches (sub disciplines) of chemistry listed in your
textbook on page 4?
II.
MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES
A. Compare and contrast extensive and intensive properties.
B. Describe the molecular consistencies of matter in the solid state, liquid
state and gaseous state.
C. Compare and contrast physical changes, physical properties, chemical
changes and chemical properties.
D. Review and be familiar with the flow chart on page 11 regarding
classification of matter. Figure 8.
E. Distinguish between a mixture, a solution, homogeneity, & heterogeneity.
F. Know how a pure substance differs from a mixture (page 13). Any sample
of pure substance is ____________________________________.
III.
Elements
A. Review table 2 on page 16. Omit learning the “older name” column but
please learn the symbol and the “modern name” of the element. For
example, antimony is Sb, copper is Cu, etc…
B. Distinguish and recognize elements from the periodic table and how they
are classified. For example, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus are
nonmetals; boron, silicon, germanium and arsenic are metalloids; lithium,
zirconium, vanadium and cobalt are metals. Figure 12 on page 17 is very
helpful in accomplishing this objective.
C. Distinguish the following properties of metals: malleability, ductility, tensile
strength, conductivity & luster.
D. What state of matter are most nonmetals at room temperature? Which
nonmetal is a liquid at room temperature?
E. At room temperature, what state of matter are all metalloids? What
property makes metalloids useful in engineering and technological
manufacturing such as computers, digital watches, televisions and radios?
F. What makes noble (or inert) gases unique among the elements on the
periodic table?
