Chapter 1: Science of Chemistry
Section 1:What is Chemistry?

-Key Terms
* Chemical: substance that has definite definition
* Chemical reactions: process of changing/producing new substance
* States of matter: solid, liquid, gasand plastic
* Reactant: substance that participates in a chemical rxn
* Product: the substance that is produced in a chemical rxn
* Solid: definite volume and definite shape
* Liquid:definite volume and indefinite shape
* Gas: no definite volume nor shape
-------------------------------------------------

Properties
Physical: density, mass, volume
Chemical: reactivity-Chemical Equation
Qualitative (words)= carbon + oxygen produces carbon dioxide
Quantitative (symbols)= C + O2=CO2

-Critical Thinking
11. Explain why neither liquids nor gases have permanentshapes.
* Particles are able to move past one another
12. Steam is sometimes used to melt ice = physical change.
13. Mass can’t be created nor destroyed, so, it doesn’t change neither in chemicalnor physical changes.
14. a) emanation of a gas
