Gen Chemistry Flashcards
Branch of science that is concerned in the study of matter and changes it undergoes
Chemistry
Study of organic compounds (contains carbon)
Organic chemistry
Study of elements and compounds that is considered to be inorganic
Inorganic Chemistry
Study of chemistry of life
Biochemistry
Area of chemistry that is used in characterization of matter both quantitatively and qualitatively
Analytical chemistry
Study of macroscopic, and particulate phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibrium
physical chemistry
Study of energy, conversion of energy that in various forms and ability of energy to do work from the word ‘therme’ which means heat and ‘dynamis’ which means power or energy
Thermodynamics
Total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed or changed from one form to another
Law of Conservation of Energy (1st Law)
Energy inside the system
Internal energy
Thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
Degree of disorderliness
Entropy
Law of disorderliness / Spontaneous Law. In relation of heat energy and entropy, it is impossible to obtain the process where the unique effect is the subtraction of positive heat from reservoir and the production of positive work states that the spontaneous natural processes increase entropy overall heat can spontaneously conducted or radiated only from higher temperature region to lower temperature region but not the other way around for natural spontaneous process the entropy increases, this can lead now to higher disorderliness for natural process
Law of Entropy
Entropy of perfect crystal is absolute zero is exactly equal to zero
solid entropy crystalline
All processes, temperature approaches absolute zero 2 bodies are in equilibrium with the 3rd body separately then it follows the 1st and 2nd body are also in thermal equilibrium.
Zeroth Law
Anything that occupies space and has mass (solid, liquid, gas). It has structure. It involves change. It requires energy for those changes and interaction
Matter
Matter possessing a definite and unvarying composition
Pure substance
Simplest form of substance that cannot be decomposed of a simple chemical reaction. 1 atom (+ or -)
Element
Substances composed of 2 or more elements united chemically in definite proportions
Compound
2 or more substances that retain its own characteristics
Mixture
Uniform throughout the mixture. No dissolved part particles
homogenous mixture
Composition is not uniform throughout the mixture, insoluble substance, 2 or more phases
heterogeneous mixture
Consist of positively charged core (atomic nucleus) which contains protons and neutrons
Atoms
Basic unit that made up all matter and basic unit of an element that can enter a chemical reaction.
Atoms
- (Gold foil experiment)
- Proton (+)
Ernest Rutherford
Electron (-)
