INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY

Chemistry
- the branch of science that deals with the study
of matter: its structure, composition, changes it
undergoes, and the energy change involved.
CLASSIFICATION OF
MATTER
Atom

It is the smallest unit of matter that has the


characteristic properties of a chemical element. As
such, the atom is the basic building block of matter.
Molecule

- A group of atoms that are chemically bonded


together.
Compound

- is a pure substance made of two or more


different elements held by chemical bonds; formed
from the reaction between two or more substances.
CHANGES IN MATTER
Example: Flammability, ease of oxidation, acidity
Let’s test your knowledge!!!

1. Which of the following is a PURE SUBSTANCE?


A. air B. nitrogen C. vinegar D. tap water

2. All of the following is a pure substance EXCEPT


A. carbon dioxide B. table salt C. aluminum D. deionized water

3. A sample was determined to have a sharp boiling point, i.e. narrow range. The sample is most likely a
A. pure substance B. Mixture
Let’s test your knowledge!!!

4. A white substance, upon exposure to atmosphere, turned brown. What property of matter is involved In
the observation?
