Document Summary

Chapter two: energy and the electromagnetic spectrum notes. First law of thermodynamics: law of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, mathematically: the sum of all energy changes occurring for a process is equal to zero. Electromagnetic force: responsible for all chemistry, microscale processes are largely unaffected by gravity since the electromagnetic force is. 1 trillion, trillion times stronger than gravity: system: the thing we are interested in studying. In chemistry, we adopt a system- centered perspective in discussing energy changes: energy leaving the system is assigned a negative sign, energy entering the system is assigned a positive sign, surroundings: everything but the system being studied. Temperature: the hotness or coldness of a substance, the absolute temperature (kelvin unites) is directly related to the amount of thermal energy contained in a substance, higher temperature = higher thermal energy.
