Getting Started: Some Key Terms
• Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and of changes that occur in matter.
• Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.٭ Matter is the stuff that things are made of.

• A main challenge of chemistry is to understand the connection between the macroscopic world that we experience and the microscopic world of atoms and molecules.
• You must learn to think on the atomic level.

Atoms vs. Molecules - Fundamental Principle #1
• Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms.• Atom: smallest part of an element that is still that element.• Molecule: Two or more atoms joined and acting as a unit.

Key Terms
• Molecules are larger units in which two or more atoms are joined together.٭ Examples: Water consists of molecules, each
having two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen.٭ Oxygen gas consists of molecules, each having
two atoms of oxygen.

A Chemical Reaction - Fundamental Principle #2
• One substance changes to another by reorganizing the way the atoms are attached to each other.

Key Terms
• Composition – the types of atoms and their relative proportions in a sample of matter.
• The composition of water is two parts (by atoms) of hydrogen to one part (by atoms) of oxygen.
• The composition of water is 11.2% hydrogen by mass, 88.8% oxygen by mass.٭ (Why the difference? Because hydrogen atoms and
oxygen atoms don’t have the same mass!)٭ More on mass composition in section 3.5

The Scientific Method

Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved
• Science is a framework for gaining and organizing knowledge.
• Science is a plan of action — a procedure for processing and understanding certain types of information.
• Scientists are always challenging our current beliefs about science, asking questions, and experimenting to gain new knowledge.– Scientific method is needed.

Volume
• The derived unit of volume (space taken up by an object) is the cubic meter (m3).
• A very common unit of volume, not SI but still used, is the liter (L).
• The milliliter (mL; 0.001 L) is also used, as is the cubic centimeter (cm3).
• 1 mL = 1 cm3.• There are about five mL
in one teaspoon.
Deriving the Liter
l Liter is defined as the
volume of 1 dm3
l gram is the mass of 1 cm3
Mass and Weightl Mass is measure of resistance to
change in motion l Weight is force of gravity.l Sometimes used interchangeablyl Mass can’t change, weight can

Mass and Time
• Mass is the quantity of matter in an object; weight is a force.
• The base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg; 1000 g); it already has a prefix.
• A 1-L bottle of soft drink weighs about a kilogram.
• Commonly used mass units include the gram and the milligram (mg; 0.001 g).
• The SI base unit of time is the second (s).
• Smaller units of time include the millisecond (ms), microsecond (µs), and nanosecond (ns).
• Larger units of time usually are expressed in the nontraditional units of minutes, hours, days, and years.

Measurement of Volume Using a Buret
• The volume is read at the bottom of the liquid curve (meniscus).
• Meniscus of the liquid occurs at about 20.15 mL. Certain digits: 20.15 Uncertain digit: 20.15
