Evolution of Chemistry The Greeks believed in four basic elements: 1. Earth 2. Air

Evolution of Chemistry The Greeks believed in four basic elements: 1. Earth 2. Air 3. Fire 4. Water All substances were combinations of these four basic elements. 2

Scientific Investigations Science is the methodical exploration of nature followed by a logical explanation

Scientific Investigations Science is the methodical exploration of nature followed by a logical explanation of the observations. Scientific investigation entails the following activities: Planning an investigation Carefully recording observations Gathering data Analyzing the results 3

The Scientific Method The scientific method is a systematic investigation of nature and requires

The Scientific Method The scientific method is a systematic investigation of nature and requires proposing an explanation for the results of an experiment in the form of a general principle. The initial, tentative proposal of a scientific principle is called a hypothesis. After further investigation, the original hypothesis may be rejected, revised, or elevated to the status of a scientific principle. 4

Applying the Scientific Method Step 1: Perform a planned experiment, make observations, and record

Applying the Scientific Method Step 1: Perform a planned experiment, make observations, and record data. Step 2: Analyze the data and propose a tentative hypothesis to explain the experimental observations. Step 3: Conduct additional experiments to test the hypothesis. If the evidence supports the initial proposal, the hypothesis may become a theory. 5

Applying the Scientific Method, Continued After sufficient evidence, a hypothesis becomes a scientific theory.

Applying the Scientific Method, Continued After sufficient evidence, a hypothesis becomes a scientific theory. A natural law is a measurable relationship. 6

Critical Thinking: Reactions with Oxygen What do burning wood, rusting iron, and exploding gasoline

Critical Thinking: Reactions with Oxygen What do burning wood, rusting iron, and exploding gasoline have in common? All three are examples of combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction of a substance with oxygen. Rusting is a slow reaction, burning is a rapid reaction, and an explosion is an instantaneous reaction. 7

Modern Chemistry is a science that studies the composition of matter and its properties.

Modern Chemistry is a science that studies the composition of matter and its properties. Antoine Lavoisier (1743 -1794) said to be the founder Chemistry is divided into several branches: Organic chemistry is the study of substances containing carbon. Inorganic chemistry is the study of all other substances that don’t contain carbon. Biochemistry is the study of substances derived from plants and animals. 8

Learning Chemistry Different people learn chemistry differently. What do you see in the picture?

Learning Chemistry Different people learn chemistry differently. What do you see in the picture? Some people see a vase on a dark background; some people see two faces. 9

Problem Solving Connect the dots using only four straight lines. • Experiment until you find a solution. • Did you have to use five straight lines? • No matter which dot we start with, we still need five lines. 10

Problem Solving, Continued Are we confining the problem? • We need to go beyond

Problem Solving, Continued Are we confining the problem? • We need to go beyond the nine dots to answer the problem. 11

Chapter Summary Science began with the ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Greek civilization Ancient chemistry

Chapter Summary Science began with the ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Greek civilization Ancient chemistry is based on speculation Modern chemistry is based on scientific method Robert Boyle founded the scientific method The major components of the scientific method is: �Experiment �Hypothesis �Scientific Theory �Natural Law 13

Chapter Summary Scientists use the scientific method to investigate the world around them. Experiments

Chapter Summary Scientists use the scientific method to investigate the world around them. Experiments lead to a hypothesis, which may lead to a scientific theory or a natural law. Chemistry is a central science with many branches. The impact of chemistry is felt in many aspects of our daily lives. 14

EXAMPLE 1. 1 Introduction to Chemistry What is the difference between ancient chemistry and

EXAMPLE 1. 1 Introduction to Chemistry What is the difference between ancient chemistry and modern chemistry? Solution The principal difference is that modern chemistry is founded on the scientific method. Ancient chemistry was based on speculation, while modern chemistry is based on planned experiments and the analysis of data.

Practice Exercise What question can we ask to distinguish between a scientific theory and

Practice Exercise What question can we ask to distinguish between a scientific theory and a natural law? Answer: We can distinguish a theory from a law by asking the question, “Is the proposed statement measurable? ” If we take measurements and verify a relationship by a mathematical equation, the statement is a law; if not, it is a theory.
