CHEM 2031 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Beryllium, Hemoglobin, Crystallin
1.1 Atoms and Molecules
•
Atoms
•
Submicroscopic
•
Smallest building blocks
•
CO binds to hemoglobin more strongly than O2 (can suffocate because it binds)
•
Burns blue
•
CO2 does not bind to hemoglobin
•
Not flammable
1.2 Scientific Method
•
Observe and experiment in order
1.3 Classification of Matter
•
Matter: occupies space and has mass
•
Non-matter: photons, light, sound waves (all forms of energy)
•
Solids
•
Crystallin: solids have a well-defined form
•
beryllium, aluminum, silicate, quartz (has a fixed melting point)
•
Amorphous: solid’s don’t have a well-defined shape
•
Rubber, amber, glass (no fixed melting point)
•
Gas
•
Will fill and take shape of container

1.3.2 Classifying Matter by Composition
•
Mixtures
•
Homogeneous mixture: sugar water
•
mixed completely and can’t see: you can only see the end result (for ex: you
can’t see salt and water when mixed. it just becomes salt water)
•
Heterogenous mixture: mud water
•
Not mixed completely: not uniformed (ex. cocktails on the rock)
•
Pure Substances
•
Compounds: H2O, NaCl, C12H22O11
•
Elements: H2, O2, Na, Cl2, Ne
•
Can use physical methods to separate mixtures (ex: distillation of salt water, magnet)
•
Chemical reaction required to separate pure substances (compounds)
•

Document Summary
1. 1 atoms and molecules: atoms, co binds to hemoglobin more strongly than o2 (can suffocate because it binds, co2 does not bind to hemoglobin. 1. 2 scientific method: observe and experiment in order. 1. 3 classification of matter: matter: occupies space and has mass, non-matter: photons, light, sound waves (all forms of energy, solids, gas, will fill and take shape of container. Amorphous: solid"s don"t have a well-defined shape beryllium, aluminum, silicate, quartz (has a fixed melting point) Yes mixed completely and can"t see: you can only see the end result (for ex: you can"t see salt and water when mixed. it just becomes salt water) Not mixed completely: not uniformed (ex. cocktails on the rock: pure substances, can use physical methods to separate mixtures (ex: distillation of salt water, magnet, chemical reaction required to separate pure substances (compounds, physical and chemical properties. Most important: thermal which is the motion of atoms and molecules.
