Fundamental Chemistry and Quantities

Study sheet excerpt

Course Outline

  1. Matter and Chemical Science
  2. States and Changes of Matter
  3. Chemical Entities and the Mole
  4. Quantitative Descriptions of Matter

1. Matter and Chemical Science

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Chemistry : the science dedicated to studying matter and its transformations
  • Matter : anything that has physical reality and is composed of microscopic entities such as atoms and molecules

Memory Hook

Matter undergoes transformations, so chemistry studies both matter and its changes.

2. States and Changes of Matter

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Chemical change : modifies the nature of a substance through a chemical reaction

Essential Points

📌 The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gaseous states, and temperature and pressure influence which state matter adopts.

  • A solid has a defined shape and volume and is ordered and rigid.

  • A liquid has a volume, takes the shape of its container, is disordered, and is incompressible.

  • A gas has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume, occupies all available space, and is disordered.

  • Physical changes of state include:

    • fusion: solid to liquid
    • solidification: liquid to solid
    • sublimation: solid to gas
    • condensation: gas to liquid
    • evaporation: liquid to gas
