BASICS
FORMS OF MATTER
SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS
CHEMISTS MUST UNDERSTAND...
THE STRUCTURE OF ATOMS
ONLY INTERESTED IN...
GETTING RICH
THE RATIO OF WATER
TWO HYDROGEN TO ONE OXYGEN 2:1
THEORIZED THAT ALL MATTER WAS COMPOSED OF SMALL PARTICLES CALLED ATOMS.
DEMOCRITUS
GIANT ORGANIC MOLECULES WHICH ARE MADE UP OF CHAINS OF THOUSANDS OF SMALLER MOLECULES.
POLYMERS
HOW DO CHEMICAL REACTIONS OCCUR?
BY THE REARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRONS
TIME PERIOD WHEN ALCHMISTS CONDUCTED THEIR "RESEARCH"
MIDDLE AGES
DEVELOPED BY MENDELEEV
THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
THE DEFINITION OF A POLYMER COMES FROM TWO GREEK WORDS...
"POLY," MEANING "MANY," AND "MERS," MEANING "UNITS."
HYDROCARBON MIXTURES
OIL, COAL, AND NATURAL GAS
IDENTIFIED ELECTRONS
J.J. THOMPSON
NO COMBINATION OF REACTIONS
WOULD ALLOW ALCHEMISTS TO PRODUCE GOLD
MAGNETISM
THE FIRST CHEMIST TO MAKE A SYNTHETIC POLYMER MATERIAL
GERMAN SCIENTIST, HERMANN STAUDINGER
ONE OF THE ONLY ELEMENTS
THAT CAN FORM LONG, STABLE CHAINS
CARBON
PROPOSED THAT ALL MATTER IS COMPOSED OF ATOMS AND THAT ATOMS ARE SOLID INDESTRUCTIBLE SPHERES
PHYSICIST JOHN DALTON
DID DEVELOP MANY IMPORTANT TOOLS
FUNNELS AND BALANCE SCALES
SALT
SODIUM CHLORIDE
THE PROCESS BY WHICH COMBINATIONS OF THE FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS WERE CONVERTED INTO OTHER FORMS OF MATTER
TRANSMUTATION
MOST INTERESTING TYPES OF MATTER
LIVING MATTER
What is Chemistry?
THE STUDY IN WHICH MATTER IS CONVERTED FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER
TO CHANGE BASE METALS, SUCH AS LEAD AND TIN, INTO GOLD
TRANSMUTATION
ATOMS OF AN ELEMENT THAT HAVE MORE OR LESS THAN THE NORMAL NUMBERS OF NEUTRONS
ISOTOPES
HE PROPOSED THAT ALL MATTER WAS COMPOSED OF VARYING COMBINATIONS OF FOUR ELEMENTS: AIR, EARTH, FIRE, AND WATER.
