Areas of Chemistry
What is Organic Chemistry?
The Study of Chemicals containing carbon.
What is heat?
Energy that is transferred from one object or substance to another because of a difference in temperature between them.
What is Chemistry?
The study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes.
What is surroundings?
Everything in the universe that is not part of the system.
What is a Hypothesis?
Tentative explanation to a scientific question that can be tested.
What is energy in Chemistry?
The ability to move matter or change matter in some other way.
What is a theory?
Ideas used to describe something. Board explanation that is widely accepted because it is supported by a great deal of evidence.
What is matter?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
List a couple of different types of energy.
Potential, Kinetic, Thermal, and Light energy.
A process of observation, developing a hypothesis, and testing that hypothesis. What is this?
Scientific Method
The study of chemicals that do not, in general, contain carbon. What type of Chemistry is this?
Inorganic Chemistry
Biochemical catalysts, elucidation of structures of biomolecules. What is this important catalyst?
Enzyme
Small particles that make up all matter. What is this?
Microscopic
What is Mass?
The potential energy in the nuclei of the atoms.
What is Deductive Reasoning?
Making a specific statement based on a general principle.
What is Physical Chemistry?
The study of macroscopic properties, atom properties, and phenomena in chemical study.
What is Electrochemistry?
A branch of chemistry with the interconversion of chemical energy and electrical energy.
What is the definition of macroscopic?
Substances and objects that can be seen, touched, and measured directly.
Process that occurs when one or more substances called reactants, is changed into one or more new substances, called products. What is this?
Chemical Reaction
The process of drawing a general conclusion based on many clues, or pieces of evidence. What is this?
Inductive Reasoning
The study of composition of matter separating identifying, and quantifying chemicals in samples of matter. What type of chemistry is this?
Analytical Chemistry
A group of electrochemical cells combined together with a source of direct electric current at a constant voltage. What object is this?
Battery
What is another important use of chemistry?
Medicine
What is a system?
The specific portion of matter in a given space that is being studied during an experiment or an observation.
What is Law?
An explanation that always applies under the same circumstances; based on large volumes of evidence and no known exceptions.
