The Brady Branch
the identification of the components and composition of materials
Analytical Chemistry
Carried out for the sake of increasing knowledge, such as how and why a specific reaction occurs
Basic Research
The fundamental building blocks of matter are
atoms and molecules
blend of two or more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties
Mixture
characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance
the study of non-organic substances, many of which have organic fragments bonded to metals (organometallics)
Inorganic Chemistry
Can be the result of basic research
Chance discoveries
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances
Element
uniform in composition
homogeneous
A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance
Physical Change
the study of the properties and changes of matter and their relation to energy
Physical Chemistry
Carried out to solve a problem
Applied Research
Is made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded
Compound
not uniform throughout
heterogeneous
substance’s ability to undergo changes that transform it into different substances
Chemical Property
the study of most carbon-containing compounds
Organic Chemistry
The production and use of products that improve our quality of life
Technological Development
depend on the amount of matter that is present
Extensive properties
A compound can be
Broken down
A change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances
Chemical Change
the study of substances and processes occurring in living things
Biochemistry
Any substance that has a definite composition is what
Chemical
does not depend on the amount of matter present
Intensive properties
Every sample of a pure substance has exactly the same what?
Composition
When physical or chemical changes occur, energy is always involved. Although energy can be absorbed or released in a change, it is not destroyed or created. It simply assumes a different form. What is this law called?
conservation of energy
