Introduction to Science











Theory - an explanation for why certain laws and facts exist that can be tested to
determine its accuracy
...
Scientifically disproven beliefs can still be held to
be true

Water


Water has no color, taste, or smell



“The Universal Solvent”



Solid at 0 degrees Celsius and vapor at 100 degrees Celsius



Uneven distribution of charges


Like a magnet with poles



Forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules (Between hydrogen and
oxygen )
Cohesion - Attraction between molecules of the same substance



Adhesion - attraction between molecules of different substances



Surface Tension







Keeps objects more dense than water from sinking
Result of the cohesiveness of water

Capillary Action


Water moves into a small space



May be against greater force



Cohesive and adhesive properties

Polarity


Polarity - a physical property that relates to many others



Solubility




Melting, boiling, and freezing points
Intermolecular interactions between molecules

The polarity of water increases the intermolecular space and allows water to

expand when freezing


Phase Changes


Physical changes



Energy increases during a phase change



Temperature remains the same



Intermolecular forces change

Electronegativity
Electronegativity - the measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical
bond
⦁ Each element on the periodic table is assigned an electronegativity value from
0
...
0
⦁ The difference in the electronegativity determines the bonding type


Ionic (Difference of 1
...
4 to 1
...
0 to 0
...
Many homogeneous mixtures are solutions
...

Physical Properties


Color



Odor



Luster (to be shiny or glossy)



Malleability (ability of the substance to be beaten into thin sheets)



Hardness (how easily the substance can be scratched)



Conductivity (to allow flow of energy or electricity)



Solubility (ability to dissolve a solvent)



Melting Point



Boiling Point



Etc

States of Matter and Phase Changes


There are 5 States of Matter



Liquid



Gas



Plasma

(10x) * (40x) = 400x -> we can see more details at high power, but with a smaller
FOV

How to Use a Microscope:
⦁ Turn on the microscope and rotate the red objective (scanning) into
place
⦁ Place a slide on stage and secure it with the stage clips
...

⦁ Rotate the nosepiece to view the image under different powers


Use the fine adjustment knob to sharpen the image



Record measurements and other required data



When done, turn off the microscope and put up the slides used

How to make a wet-mount slide:
⦁ Get a clean slide and coverslip


Put one drop of water on the middle of the slide -- no more



Place the edge of the coverslip on one side of the water drop



Slowly put the coverslip on top of the drop

2mm) x (1000) = 1200μm
Determine the FOV of highpower by

...
when nitrate dissolves in water,
Poly-tomic ions
⦁ Are created and plants love them(algae for photosynthesis)





0-10 PPM is safe
>10 is polluted

Hardness- hardness is not good or bad, just life in water



More ppm of hardness, the more calcium & magnesium ions are
dissolved
They come from rocks in the area- typically stays the same around time



Salinity- dissolved salts



Conductivity- waters ability to flow electricity




good range to support fish 150-500

Alkalinity - normal range 100-250 PPM


neutralizes acids in water if it is high to neutral easier
12



Heavy Metals - toxic to animals and plants




<10 PPM is safe

Phosphates - promotes growth in aquatic life


Specific ions in water solution



>1 PPM grows blooms that use of DO

Periodic Table

Periodic Table Overview:

Rules:
Neutral Atom- same number of electrons and protons
Negative Ion- electrons>protons
Positive- electrons




Protons- a particle of an atom with a positive charge
mass of 1 amu
charge of +1
Neutrons- a particle of an atom with no charge
mass of 0 amu



charge of +0
Electrons- a particle of an atom with a negative charge
mass of nearly 0 amu



charge of -1



13

Nucleus - the center of an atom or ion consisting of protons and neutrons
Atom - the basic unit of an element (must be neutrally charged)
Ion - the basic unit of an element (must be negatively or positively, cannot be
neutral)
Charge - the potential of the atom or ion
Neutral - the atom has neither a negative or a positive charge
Atomic Mass - the amount of neutrons and protons in the nucleus
Element - a substance consisting of atoms
Mass Number - an element's or isotope's mass number tells how many protons
and neutrons in its atoms
Atomic Mass - the atomic mass represents the weighted average of the masses
for all isotopes in a naturally occurring sample
How to Calculate Atomic Mass:
Atomic Mass= (mass of isotope x relative abundance) + (mass of isotope x
relative abundance)

Families (Groups):


Seen in columns (vertical)



Each family has the same number of valence electrons


Valence Electron- the electrons that can participate in the
formation of a chemical bond, which are located on the outer shell
⦁ Family #1: one valence electron


Family #2: two valence electrons



Family #3: three valence electrons (etc
