Chemistry: Brief History
B.C.: Some Greeks thought:
•Matter made of particles
(atoms) vs. continuous
•Based on pure logic, rather
than experimental
13
Middle Ages: Alchemists
14
Modern Concepts
1700’s Antoine Lavoisier:
• father of modern chemistry
• “laboratory”
• excerpt
1800’s Dalton
•atomic theory based on data
1850’s Mendeleev
•Periodic Table
15
Matter
Anything that takes up
space and has mass.
MATTER?
aluminum
light
water
temperature
air
heat
16
Matter
The amount of matter is
measured by MASS not volume
or weight. (water vs. air)

Types of Matter
1.Substance (“pure substance”)
Matter with uniform and
definite composition.
Every sample has exactly the
same properties.
example: water
19
Two Types of Pure Substances
Element- simplest form of matter
that can exist in the lab.
e.g. C, H, etc (Periodic Table)
Compound- contains 2 or more
different elements bonded together;
it can be broken into simpler
substances “chemically.”
e.g. water, salt (NaCl), sugar

Types of Matter
2. Mixtures
Matter
Mixture
Homo- Heterogeneous geneous
(Solution)
Substance
Compound
Element
• two or more different substances
mixed together
• proportions can be varied
(e.g. 20% salt in water vs.
30% salt in water)
• each substance retains its original
properties
23
Mixtures: Two Types
1. Homogeneous mixture
 mixture with uniform
composition throughout
mixed at the “molecular level”
often transparent, not cloudy
synonym is “solution.”
e.g. salt water,
steel
24
Mixtures: Two Types
2. Heterogeneous mixture
mixture that does not have
uniform composition
often see small chunks or
pieces of different substances
often cloudy
e.g. soil
Italian salad dressing
25
Substance, Homogeneous
or Heterogeneous Mixture ?
gasoline
beef stew
“gold” ring
7-UP soda
air
sugar
maple syrup
wood
salt
cement
26
Mixtures
can be separated by physical means
chromatography (demo)
distillation (next slide)
magnetism (lab)
filtration (lab)
density

How many?
•4 states of matter!

States of Matter
Raise Temperature
(Temp. is a measure of the average
kinetic energy of the molecules that
make up the substance.)
31
Physical Property
Quality that can be observed
without changing the substance’s
composition.
•Color
•Solubility
•Hardness
•Density
•Melting point •Odor
•Conductivity
•Malleability
32
Physical Change
A change that does not alter the
substance’s composition.
•Cutting
•Bending
•Change state •Crushing
e.g. boiling water,
cutting paper
33
Chemical Property
Ability of a substance to
undergo a chemical reaction
and form a new substance.
Reactants  products
e.g. iron + sulfur  iron(II) sulfide
(NOT simply mixing iron + sulfur)
Demo
34
Chemical or Physical ??
 dry ice evaporates
a car fender rusts
 pepper is ground-up in a
pepper mill
 bread goes stale
 water freezes
 you file your nails
 you take an antacid tablet
35
Conservation of
Mass & Energy
In any process or reaction, both
mass and energy are conserved.
e.g. burn coal:
where does the mass go?
where does the heat
energy come from?
