What is Chemistry?

The branch of science concerned with the

properties of substances and the interactions

between different types of matter.

Using detergents

to clean clothes

Cooking and

bakingDetermining which medication is

appropriate and the dosage

What is Chemical Engineering?

Applied chemistry

Engineering concerned with design,

construction and operation of machines

that perform chemical reactions,

separations/mixing and fluid flow to solve

problems and make useful products.

Whats an Atom?

The smallest unit

of a chemical

element that

contains allproperties of that

element

Components of an Atom

NucleusThe center portion of an atom

containing the protons and

neutrons

ProtonsPositively charged atomic

particles

NeutronsUncharged atomic particles

ElectronsNegatively charged atomic

particles that orbit the nucleus

What is an Element?

A pure substance, composed of only one

type of atom.Periodic Table of Elements


8/21

What is a Molecule?

2 or more atoms bondedtogether, sharing

electrons

Small particles that makeup all living and non-living

things

Each molecule has aunique arrangement that

allows it to interact with

other molecules

What is the difference between a

chemist and chemical engineer?

Chemist

A chemist studies chemicals, matter and its

properties, and atoms in order to understandhow elements join together to form different

substances.

Chemical Engineer

Works in collaboration with chemists to

develop chemicals for useful purposes.

What does a chemist do?

Chemists study atoms and how they jointogether

Chemists use their knowledge of howatoms combine to discover new products

Chemists work to develop new drugs to

treat diseases Chemists also work in the oil industry tofind better ways to refine oil to make fuelburn cleaner
