Reviewer Midterms Flashcards
This branch focuses on the study of carbon-containing compounds, duding their structure, properties, synthesis, and reactions. Organic chemistry is crucial in areas such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, dyes, and many natural products Inorganic Chemistry Inorganic chemistry deals with the study of elements and their compounds.
Organic Chemistry.
excluding carbon-based compounds. It covers topics like metals, minerals, nonmetals. ordination compounds, and materials chemistry. Phys Chemistry: Physical chemistry combines principles of physics and chemistry to untend the fundamental properties and behavior of matter. It encompasses topics such as Temodynamics, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, kinetics, and electrochemistry
Inorganic chemistry
methods to determine the composition, structure, and concentration of substances.
Analytical chemistry
explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It investigates topics such as proteins, enzymes, DNA, metabolism, and the blochemical basis of diseases.
Biochemistry
studies the impact of chemicals on the environment and how natural processes affect the distribution and behavior of chemical species
Environmental chemistry
focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and design of new materials with desired properties for various applications, including electronics, energy storage, catalysis, and nanotechnology.
Materials chemistry
employs computational methods and mathematical models to understand and predict the behavior of chemical systems. It contributes to the interpretation of experimental data and the development of new theories.
Theorical Chemistry
involves the application of chemical principles to large- scale production processes. It plays a crucial role in sectors like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, polymers, fertilizers, and consumer goods.
Industrial chemistry
combines knowledge from various fields to design and develop drugs. It involves the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of chemical compounds for therapeutic purposes.
Medicinal chemistry
anything that occupies space and has mass. It is one of the fundamental concepts in Physics and Chemistry, and it is all around us in the form of solids, liquids, gases and plasma Matter can exist in different states depending on the condition of temperature and pressure.
Matter
is the “stuff” of the universe: air, glass, planets, students- anything that has mass and volume.
Matter
the types and amounts of simpler substances that make it up.
Composition
is a type of matter that has defined, fixed composition.
Substance
the characteristics that give each substance its unique identity
Properties
Are those that a substance shows by itself, without changing into or interacting with another substance.
Physical properties
are those that a substance shows as it changes into or interacts with another substance (or substances
Chemical properties
Three states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Depends on the quantity of matter observed
Extensive property
Is dependent of the amount of matter observed.
Intensive property
Is a function of temperature because volume varies with temperature, whereas mass remains constant.
Density
Matter is made up of very tiny units called?
Atoms
Is a substance made up of only a single type of atoms
Chemical element
