  • 2PREFACE

    Chemistry is an interesting and fundamental branch ofscience because it gives us the chance to explain the secretsof nature. What is water? What do we use in our cars as fuel?What is aspirin? What are perfumes made of?

    These kinds of questions and their answers are all part ofthe chemistry. There is no industry that does not depend uponchemical substances the petroleum, pharmaceuticals, gar-ment, aircraft, steel and electronics industries, for example, aswell as agriculture, all utilize the science of chemistry.

    The aim was to write this book to show that chemistry isa funny science in life and to give the ordinary level chemistryknowledge to students.

    We would like to thank smet zdemir, Engin Halimolu,Nuray Tunca, Meral Krbancolu, Gyaseddin Eli, OrhanApilliolu, Guvan Paytakow, Muharrem Akman, NumanDurmu, Celal nar, Hseyin Aslan, Yunus Allaberdiyew,Ahmet Yel, Beim Agayew, Esma Tanrven, NuriNurgeldiyew, Meryem Krba, H.Ahmet etinay and MuratNiyazmatow for their thoughtful criticisms and helpful sugges-tions to the manuscript which have been of such great valuein developing the book.

  • WHAT IS CHEMISTRY? 1

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY6

    1Chemistry is a branch of science that has been aroundfor a long time. In fact, chemistry is known to date backto as far as the prehistoric times. By 4000 BC Europeobtained this culture but by this time in Egypt and Sumeria(Iraq) metals were being used. The name of chemistry isderived from the Arabic word al-Kimya.

    Alchemists are the old chemists who are not only wantedto convert metals to gold, but they also wanted to find a mix-ture of chemical that would enable people to live longer andcure all illnesses.

    Today chemistry is an important and exciting subject. It isall around you; in houses, fairgrounds, fields, farms, and fac-tories. It is taking place deep in the Earth and far out in space.You will find chemistry everywhere.

    Why do we study chemistry?Because we may say that "life is chemistry" . Chemistry is

    in each point of our daily life. You may not realize it, but chem-istry is all around you. Dye, plastic, cosmetic, medicine, clean-ing product, textile, paper, photography, firework, weapon,fuel, glass and metallurgy are some industries interested inchemistry.

    Chemistry, physics, biology and earth science are four mainbranches of natural sciences. Each of the branches of natural sci-ence has its own area that is closely related o each other. Nobranch of science can be entirely independent of others.

    Chemistry is the science that deals with the composition andstructure of matter and with the changes matter undergoes.Chemistry have six main branches which are analytical chemistry,physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, bio-chemistry and nuclear chemistry.

  • Fathers of Chemistry and the LastExperiment

    Jabir bin Hayyan (721 - 815), the chemist Geber of theMiddle Ages, is generally known as the father of chemistry.Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan was the son of the pharmacist(Attar). He practiced medicine and alchemy in Kufa (Iraq) .

    Jabir introduced experimental investigation into alchemy,which rapidly changed its character into modern chemistry.His well-known laboratory remained after centuries, he rest-ed on over 100 reading matter , of which 22 relate to chem-istry and alchemy. His contribution of fundamental importanceto chemistry includes perfection of scientific techniques suchas crystallization, distillation, sublimation and evaporation anddevelopment of several instruments as well.

    Apart from several contributions of basic nature to alche-my, involving largely the preparation of new compounds anddevelopment of chemical methods, he also developed a num-ber of applied chemical processes, thus becoming a pioneerin the field of applied science. His achievements in this fieldinclude preparation of various metals, development of steel,dyeing of cloth and tanning of leather, varnishing of water-

    proof cloth, use of manganese dioxide inglass-making, prevention of rusting, letteringin gold, identification of paints, greases, etc.During the course of these practical produc-tions, he also developed aqua regia (kingwater) to dissolve gold. The alembic(Anbique) is his great invention, which madeeasy and systematic process of distillation.Jabir did great stress on experimentation andaccuracy in his work.

  • Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) is called the father of mod-ern chemistry, having discovered that water is made ofhydrogen and oxygen. He also invented the analytical bal-ance and showed that chemical elements were neither creat-ed nor destroyed, just combined into different compounds inchemical reactions. From this work follows one of the mostfundamental principles of physics, the conservation of mass.

    Lavoisier showed that diamond and graphite were bothforms of carbon. He helped to establish modern chemicalnomenclature, named oxygen and discovered its role in com-bustion, showed that candles burning and humans workingboth exhale carbon dioxide, pointing the way to understand-ing biochemistry and metabolism. His achievements thatinspire textbooks to name him the father of modern chemistry.

    Unfortunately, Lavoisier was also a tax farmer and part ofthe hated upper class of France who were purged during theFrench Revolution. Lavoisier and 27 other French noblemenwere tried on the morning of May 8, 1794, at the Place deRevolution (now Place de la Concorde), sen-tenced to death and guillotined that after-noon. While others panicked in prison await-ing trial, Lavoisier remained calm, setting histhe last experiment.

    May be it is an uncertified story relateshow Lavoisier arranged a final experiment athis death intended to determine whetherand for how long a cut off head remains con-scious after guillotining . Lavoisier decidedto blink as many times as possible, andasked from his assistant to count the blinks,which numbered between 15 and 20.Some biologists have expressed doubt thatit would be possible.

    MATTER 2

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY14

    2Matter is everything around us. Matter is all of the livingand nonliving things made of atoms. Matter is any-thing that has a mass and occupies space. Eventhough matter can be found all over the universe, we usuallyfind it in just a few forms, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Mattercan differ from another in physical state, size, shape, color,hardness, smell, etc. These are called the properties of mat-ter. For example, hardness is a property of metals and theblack color is a property of coal.

    Matter includes things we can see and touch (such aswater, earth, trees) as well as things we cannot (such as air).

    Air is a matter composedof some gases. Although itis difficult to understandthe fact that air is a matterwe can explain it. First wecan feel that air has massand occupys space but it isinvisible. So, air has massand volume.

    Light is not a matter, itis a kind of energy.Lightning, sound, heat,thought and electricity arenot matter too.

    Mass and volume are the common properties of matter. These properties are depend-ed on the quantity of matter. The more matter the more mass and volume. For example thevolume occupied by the water in two containers is the sum of the volumes of the water ineach of the containers. Common properties can not be used to identify substances. Twoobjects can be made of different materials but can have the same mass. On the other hand,two objects can have different masses and be made of the same materials.

    Melting point, boiling point, density, expansion and elasticity are some examples to thecharacteristic properties. The value of a characteristic property does not depend on theamount of matter. For example the density of one gram and one kilogram of iron metal arethe same.

    Electricity Lightning Sound

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY 15

    Mass is the quantity of matter in an object. Mass canbe measured with an equal-arm balance. Itsunit is kilogram (kg) or gram (g). Weight refers to the forcethat gravity exerts on an object.

    1 kg = 1000 g

    Volumeis the spaceoccupied by amatter. Two pieces of matter cannot occupy the same space at thesame time. The unit of volume isliter.

    We can find the volume of aliquid by using a measuring con-tainer.

    The unit for volume is liter (L)or milliliter (ml) .

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY22

    Some gases can be turned into liquids by put-ting them under pressure. The fuel for the campingstove in the photo contains liquefied butane gas.

    As we heat a solid, its particles vibrate more and more quickly.The solid expands.

    Eventually, the particles shake about so much that they begin to break free from each other. The solid starts melting. It turns into a liquid.

    If we carry on heating, the particles in the liquid move around more quickly. Some particles at the surface have enough energy to escape as a gas.

    The liquid evaporates. With more heating, the liquid eventually boils.

    ATOM 4

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY26

    4Scientists proposed that all substances are composed oftiny particles. They named these indivisible and incred-ibly small particles as atomos.

    But what are these particles looking like? This is a difficult question because nobody has ever seen

    one. They are too small. So scientists had to invent thedevices which enable us to see these tinyparticles.

    Around 1805 John Dalton putforward his ideas. He thought thatthe smallest particles were like tinyhard billiard balls. Today, the small-est particle which has all character-istics of an element is defined asatom. There are 92 different typesof atoms found naturally. About 95%of human body is composed of car-bon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxy-gen atoms. Atoms are shown bysymbols such as carbon: C, nitro-gen: N, hydrogen: H, oxygen: O.

    John Dalton.

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY 27

    Today atom can be broken down by nuclear reactions. In20th century it is discovered that atoms consist of nucleusand electrons. In the center there is very small nucleus andaround it electrons are revolving at very high speed. Nucleushas almost negligible volume but nearly whole mass of theatom is concentrated in this small volume.

    The nucleus is very tiny compared with the rest ofatom. If the atom were the size of a football stadium, thenucleus (at the center) would be the size of a pea. If theatom had no empty space, the size of the world wouldbe the size of a ball and the mass of the world would notchange.

    A nucleus contains protons and neutrons.Electrons are revolving with great velocity in the cer-tain fixed energy levels around nucleus.

    Protons are the positively charged particles. Itssymbol is p Each element has different number ofprotons. For example, hydrogen has 1, carbon has 6,sodium has 11 and uranium has 92 protons.

    Neutrons are neutral, this means a neutron hasno charge. Its symbol is n. Its mass is equal to massof a proton. Helium has 2, carbon has 6, sodium has13 neutrons.

    Electrons are negatively charged particles. Itssymbol is e. Its mass is negligible compared withthe mass of a proton or a neutron. (1840 electrons =1 protons = 1 neutrons). When the number of elec-trons and protons are equal in an atom.

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY28

    It is called as neutral atom. For example, sodium has 11protons (+11 charge) and 11 electrons (-11 charge). The over-all charge is zero. There fore it is neutral.

    Following representation shows the number of electron,proton and atomic mass number on a symbol of an atom (x).

    A: atomic mass number, p: proton number, n: neutron number, e: electron number.

    Molecule

    Molecule: However elements contain onlyone type of atom, sometimes two or more ofthese join together to form a molecule.

    Molecule, smallest unit of a substance that shows all thechemical properties of that substance.

    For example, the molecule of water cosists of two hydro-gen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. This molecule can not

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY 29

    be further subdivided without destroying it.If a molecule is broken up into its atoms or into smaller

    groups of atoms by chemical processes, these pieces will notbehave like the original molecule. A molecule can containatoms of the same element or atoms of different elements.

    Many substances on Earth are made of molecules.Millions of molecules join together to make up the cells inhumans or in any other plant or animal. The food we eat, theair we breathe, the clothes we wear, and the wood, paint, andcarpeting that we use in homes are all made of molecules.Millions of different molecules exist in nature or can be madeby chemists. The nature of each molecule depends on theatoms that it contains and how they link to each other. Forexample, the oxygen that living ornanisms require is made ofmolecules that have two oxygen atoms bonded together.

    5Elements and the Aparment ofElements

    Some substances can't be broken down into anythingsimpler. This is because all the atoms in them are thesame type. These are the chemical elements. They cannot be broken into simpler substances. Elements contain onlyone type of atom such as sodium element is made of sodiumatoms, iron element is made of sodium atoms.

    Scientists are still trying to find new elements. So far, 111elements have been officially recognised and named. 92 ofthese are found in the Earth and atmosphere. The rest weremade in the laboratory. Many of the artificial elements last justin a few seconds.

    Naming Elements

    There is not a certain rule for naming elements. Some names of elements takes thename of scientists (Mendelevium, Md; Rontgenium, Rg...), places (Americium, Am;Europium, Eu...), name of planets (Uranium, U; Plutonium, Pu...) . Some names come frommythology (Titanium, Ti; Thorium,Th...) or property of element (hydrogen means water for-mer, oxygen means acid former...). Some elements have been known since ancient times(Iron, Fe; Tin, Sn...). Today, some artifical elements are waiting for being named in the peri-odic table (Ununbium, Uub, Ununquadium, Uuq...).

    Metal and Nonmetal Elements

    Elements can be classified into 3 sets which are metals, nonmetals, and semi-metals.Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals. 92 elements are found naturally onEarth.

    General properties of metals and nonmetals;

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY36

    Each horizontal row in the periodic tableis called a period. There are seven periodstotally in the modern periodic table and eachperiod begins with a metal and ends with a

    noble gas. But, the first element of the first period (hydrogen)is not a metal. Additionally, the noble gas of seventh periodhas not been discovered yet.

    Each vertical column in the periodic table is called agroup. Since the chemical and physical properties of the ele-ments in a group are similar sometimes they are also called afamily. There are a total of eighteen groups of which eight ofthem are A and eight of them are B groups in the periodictable. The group 8B contains three columns. A groups arecalled main groups and B groups are called transition metals.

    In the periodic table, some groups have special names;1A group: Alkali Metals2A group: Alkaline Earth Metals 3A group: Earth Metals7A group: Halogens8A group: Noble Gases

    The Aparment of Elements

    Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) is often considered the"father" of the periodic table, and the studies of many sci-entists also contributed to form modern periodic table. WhenMendeleev published his periodic table for the first time, there

    were 63 elements. After his death, the number of the ele-ments had increased to 86. This quick increase was the

    result of the periodic table, the most important gener-alization of chemistry. The periodic table prepared byMendeleev showed a target for scientists and ele-

    ments for the blank spaces in his table were quick-ly discovered.

    Although Mendeleev did not discover anynew elements, the element with the atomic num-ber 101 discovered by a committee ofAmerican scientist lead by G.T Seaborg in1955, named it mendelevium (Md) in honor ofDmitri Mendeleev.

    The modern periodic table appeared as afunction of the physical and chemical proper-ties of elements. When the elements arearranged in the order of increasing atomicnumbers, there is a periodic repetition in theproperties of these elements.

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY42

    6When you look around you see the existence of almostuncountable number of things. Just few of thesethings are found as pure (elements and compounds).Most of them are composed of at least two or more kinds ofdifferent substances which are called mixtures.

    Mixtures are materials which have special properties. Forexample, cement is a man-made mixture used for buildingmaterial and bone is a natural mixture forms our major portionof the skeleton,.

    Mixtures are absolutely everywhere you look. They maybe in solid, liquid or gaseous state. Mixtures are the form formost things in nature and life. Rocks, air, ocean, tap water,salad, soup, glass, concrete, medicine, dental filling materialsand deodorants are just a few.

    There are an infinite number of mixtures. Anything youcan combine is a mixture. Think of everything you eat. Justthink about how many cakes there are. Each of those cakes ismade up of a different mixture of ingredients. Even the woodin your pencil is considered a chemical mixture. There is thebasic cellulose of the wood, but there are also thousands ofother compounds in that pencil.

    For example concrete is a mixture of lime (CaO)/cement,water, sand, and other ground-up rocks and solids. All of theseingredients are mixed together. Workers then pour the con-crete into a mold and the concrete turns into a solid (becauseof the cement solidifying) with the separate pieces inside.

    Liquid mixture.

    Gaseous mixture.

  • FIRST STEP IN CHEMISTRY 43

    Mixtures are separated by means of physical methods.Physical properties of a component are usually used for itsseparation from a mixture.

    While the cement hardeningmight be a chemical reaction, therocks and gravel are held in placeby physical forces. They are includ-ed in the mixture to increase thestrength of concrete. The rocks andgravel are not chemically bondedto the cement. The gravel is alsonot evenly distributed. There arepieces of gravel here and there.The concentrations of gravelchange from area to area.

    You might be wondering whyconcrete is not a new compoundwhen it is formed. The specialname of mixtures is that physicalforces can still remove the basicparts. You can take the solid con-crete and grind it up again. Theindividual components can then beseparated and you can start allover.

    Homogeneous Mixtures Heterogeneous Mixtures

    A homogeneous mixturehas the same uniform

    appearance and composition throughout

    like air and tapwater.

    A heterogeneous mixtureconsists of visibly different

    substances or phases like soil and oil-water.

    The prefixes: "homo"-indicate sameness

    The prefixes: "hetero"-indicate difference

    Mixtures may be divided into two groups according to thedistributions of components in the mixture.

    7Chemists are interested in the way in which substanceschange under different conditions. They classify thechanges that they observe as physical and chemical.

    Substances change when, for example, they are heated,cooled, placed under pressure or even mixed with other sub-stances. If the change does not actually make any new sub-stance, we say it is a physical change. Most physical changesare quite easy to reverse. Some reactions are fast and someare slow.

    8Chemistry is the science that deals with the compositionand structure of matter and with the changes matterundergoes.To perform this mission, the most importantprocesses are experiments. Because of this reason, we cansay that doing experiment is the significant part of chemistry.

    To explain structure of matter and changes of it under-goes, some theories are offered. But this is not enough toexplain structure of matter because these theories must beproved.

    You will ask "How can be theories proved?"Answer is "By doing experiments."I think you will ask another question. " How can be exper-

    iments done?" Answer of this question is about our chap-

    ter. We will answer that question in this chap-ter.

    Experimens are done by using somechemical substances and some chemicalapparatus.

    For doing experiment,chemical sub-stances are needed.There are millions ofchemical substunces which are used in exper-iments. Only names of these substances com-pose lots of books. Salts, alcohols, sugars andwater are examples for chemical substances.

    The second needed material is chemicalapparatus. Many types of apparatuses aremanufactured for different experiments. Thereare lots of chemical apparatus. We will exam-ine some of these which are needed for ourexperiments.

    Purpose:To observe the movement of hot and cold water.

    Equipment and Materials:Two identical bottles, ink or paint, and cardboard.

    Procedure:1. Fill the bottle fully with hot water and add some ink, and then place cardboard on

    the mouth of bottle.2. Fill the other bottle fully with cold water. 3. Invert the bottle, which has hot water, together with cardboard and place it onto

    the mouth of the other bottle. 4. Now, invert the bottles together as the one which has cold water at the top. 5. Hold the bottles tightly, and then remove the cardboard between bottles with a

    great rush.6. Observe the movement of hot water in cold water like a volcano.

    Conclusion:Hot water is lighter than cold water. Therefore it stands on cold water. As coldwater moves upward hot water moves downward. It can be seen clearly with col-ored water.

    Evaluations:1. Why is hot water lighter?2. Why does a smoke move upward like hot water?

    Water not fallen out from glass

    Purpose:To understand the atmospheric pressure.

    Equipment and Materials:A glass and a sheet of paper

    Procedure:1. Fill the glass fully with water.2. Close the glass with paper, press on it with your hand,

    and then invert it.3. Hold the glass from up, and then remove your hand. Did

    water fall out?

    Conclusion:While water applies a pressure from up to down becauseof its weight, air pushes paper from down to up. Becauseof atmospheric pressure water in the glass does not fallout.

    Evaluations:1. Can it be tried with any other liquid and got the same

    result?2. What are the forces applied on water and their directions?
