INTRODUCTION
TO CHEMISTRY
Definition: Chemistry is a branch of science which deals with the composition,
properties and structure of
matter and the changes
matter undergo.
Science is the scientific study of nature.
MATTER: – Is anything that has
mass (weight) and occupies space
Matter includes materials or substances of
nature which make up our environment such as water, air, stones, plants,
animals etc
There are three branches of science which are
Physics, Chemistry and Biology
BRANCHES OF
CHEMISTRY
Branches of
chemistry include (i) Physical
chemistry (ii) Organic chemistry (iii) Inorganic chemistry
(iv) Analytical
chemistry (v) Biochemistry (vi) Chemical engineering.
Physical
chemistry deals with the relations between the physical properties of a
substances and their chemical composition and transformations.
Organic
chemistry deals with the properties and behavoiur of organic compounds.
Inorganic
chemistry deals with properties and behavior of inorganic compounds.
Analytical
chemistry deals with the studies of instruments and methods used to separate,
identify and quantify chemical species in matter.
Biochemistry
deals with the study of chemical processes that occurs in living things.
Chemical
engineering deals with the design, development and operation of processes that
convert raw materials into useful products.
The people who study chemistry are called CHEMISTS.
The people who studied chemistry in Ancient
time were called ALCHEMISTS
Since
chemistry is a science that involves experiments and practical work, chemists
have to acquire scientific skills in order to be successful in obtaining facts
and verifying them. successfully. These skills include:
(i) Making thorough
observations.
(ii) Recording
accurately what has been observed
(iii) Organizing the
observed and recorded information.
(iv) Repeating tests
to ensure observations are accurate.
(v) Drawing
conclusions from observations
(vi) Predicting possible outcomes
of similar experiments
Therefore, chemistry
students should apply these skills to be able to think logically and
critically.
