Properties
• Physical Property - any property that
can be observed without transforming
the substance into another substance
mass, color, freezing point
• Chemical Property - any property that
cannot be studied without transforming
the substance into a different
substance
iron rusts, paper burns

Changes
• Physical Change - change that does not
transform the substance into another
substance
melting, subliming, dissolving

Changes
• Chemical Change - change that
transforms the substance into another
substance
burning, oxidation of metal

Sample Problem 1.1
(Silberberg)
Distinguishing Between Physical and
Chemical Change
PROBLEM: Decide whether each of the following process is primarily a
physical or a chemical change, and explain briefly:
(a) Frost forms as the temperature drops on a humid winter night.
(b) A cornstalk grows from a seed that is watered and fertilized.
(c) Dynamite explodes to form a mixture of gases.
(d) Perspiration evaporates when you relax after jogging.
(e) A silver fork tarnishes slowly in air.
PLAN:
“Does the substance change composition or just change
form?”
SOLUTION:
(a) physical change
(b) chemical change
(d) physical change

(c) chemical change
(e) chemical change

Types of Matter
• Element - the simplest type of
substance with unique physical and
chemical properties. It cannot be
broken down into any simpler substances
by physical or chemical means.
• Compound - a substance composed of
two or more elements which are
chemically combined.

Physically mixed therefore can be
separated by physical means; in
this case by a magnet.

Allowed to react chemically
therefore cannot be separated by
physical means.

Types of Matter
• Atom – smallest unit of an element with
all the characteristics of the element

Types of Matter
• Molecule - a structure that consists of
two or more atoms that are chemically
bound together and thus behaves as an
independent unit.

Element Names and Symbols
• Each element has a name and 1, 2 or 3
letter abbreviation called a symbol. The
first letter in a symbol MUST be capital
and the other(s) lowercase.

Element Names and Symbols
• You must know the names and symbols
of the first 38 elements on the periodic
table along with Ag, Cd, Sn, I, Ba, Hg,
Pb.
• Spelling counts!
• Make flashcards to help
learn them.

Chemical Formulas
• Some elements appear in nature bonded
to each other. These are referred to
as diatomic or polyatomic molecules.
H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2 (must know)
C60, S8, P4
• The 2 in O2 is termed a subscript and
refers to the element immediately in
front of it.

Chemical Formulas
• CO2 contains 1 atom of carbon and two
atoms of oxygen all chemically linked.
• H2SO4 contains 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur,
and 4 oxygen atoms.
• (NH4)2C2O4 - A subscript outside
parentheses applies to everything within
the parentheses; 2 N, 8 H, 2 C, 4 O
