General Chemistry
What is chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of matter.
How many branches of chemistry are there?
There are six different branches of chemistry.
What is the most basic unit of matter known as?
The most basic unit of matter is known as an, "Atom."
What are the four major properties of matter?
The four major properties of matter are:
Chemical properties, Physical Properties, Extensive Properties, and Intensive Properties.
Do you ever think about the Roman Empire?
(between the highly advanced waterproof concrete, gladiators that even Jake/Logan Paul could not stage a fight against, and unique architecture...what's not to love).
What is a chemical?
A chemical is any substance with a definite composition
What are the six branches of chemistry?
The six branches of chemistry are:
Organic Chemistry
Inorganic Chemistry
Physical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Analytical Chemistry
Theoretical Chemistry
What do we call a pure substance that cannot be broken down any further?
A pure substance that cannot be broken down any further is an "Element."
Which type of major property can be defined as any characteristic that can only be view when a substance undergoes a chemical change?
The type of major property that can be defined as any characteristic that can only be view when a substance undergoes a chemical change is a CHEMICAL PROPERTY
What are the two major types of mixtures?
The two major types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.
What type of research is carried out in order to gain base level knowledge about a question?
The type of research that is carried out in order to gain base level knowledge about a question is "Basic Research."
What is the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon and its associated substances
Inorganic chemistry is the study of metals and their associated chemistry
Please complete the following statement:
All _______ are _______, but not all ______ are ________
All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
What is the major type of property that can be defined as any characteristic that can be measured without changing the chemical makeup of a substance?
The major type of property that can be defined as any characteristic that can be measured without changing the chemical makeup of a substance is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY.
What is one similarity between gases and plasmas?
What is the type of research that is carried out in order to solve a problem (with the usual implementation of technological advancement)?
"Applied Research"
The type of research that is carried out in order to solve a problem (with the usual implementation of technological advancement) is "Applied Research."
What is the difference between analytical chemistry and theoretical chemistry?
Analytical chemistry deals with the identification of matter through chemical processes
Theoretical chemistry deals with the use of mathematics and computer modeling in order to study matter.
What is compound?
A compound is any combination of two or more atoms of DIFFERENT elements.
Luster, Density, Melting Point, and Color are all considered to be Intensive Properties, why is that?
Luster, Density, Melting Point, and Color are all considered to be Intensive Properties because they are properties that do not depend on the amount of matter present.
What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
A pure substance is any substance that cannot be broken down further by physical means (such as elements and compounds)
A mixture is any substance that can be physically separated and or broken down (their constituents are not combined chemically).
What is the definition of matter, mass, and volume.
Matter is defined as anything that takes up space and has a mass.
Mass is the measurement of how much matter is in an object.
Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space that an object takes up.
Please name and define the six branches of chemistry.
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon and its associated substances
Inorganic chemistry is the study of metals and their associated chemistry
Physical chemistry is the study of chemistry with a focus in energy.
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry that is associated with living things.
Analytical chemistry deals with the identification of matter through chemical processes
Theoretical chemistry deals with the use of mathematics and computer modeling in order to study matter.
What is the difference between a molecule and a compound?
The difference between a molecule and a compound is:
A molecule is any combination of two or more atoms. A compound is the combination of two or more atoms of DIFFERENT elements.
Volume, mass, acidity, and length are all examples of what specific type of major property? Why?
(two parter)
Volume, mass, acidity, and length are all examples of extensive properties because they are properties that do depend on the amount of matter that is present.
Please name and define the six branches of chemistry.
Please explain the difference between a molecule and a compound.
Please explain the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Please explain why alligators are so ornery.
(All or none; much like the game of life. No taksie-backsies, redoes or retakes)
I am not typing all of that.
