Wood (CxHy) + O2 CO2 + H2O

Metallurgy:The purification of metals
• The Bronze Age: c. 3500 – 1100 BC– Copper and Tin isolated by heating ores
(rocks)– Combined to make the alloy Bronze
• The Iron Age: 1200 – 550 BC– Iron: higher melting pt. than Cu or Sn– Steel: stronger than bronze

Atomism
• Democritus: ca. 460 – ca. 370 BC – Matter is composed of indivisible
units, called “atoma”– Unable to prove his theory
scientifically

Alchemy:Mystical Chemistry
Middle Ages – 1800’s• Goals:
– Turn less valuable metals into Gold and Silver
– Find “elixir of life” (eternal youth)
• Primitive form of Chemistry – No Scientific Method– Combines Philosophy,
Mysticism, Chemistry

Modern Chemistry:The Beginning
1700s
• Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)– Law of Conservation of Mass– Recognized and Named Oxygen
– Combustion (burning with O2)
– Respiration of animals• Similar to Combustion

Organic Chemistry:Making the Molecules of Life
• 1828: Friedrich Wohler– Makes Urea– Shows that an organic
molecule can be made outside an organism
• 1853: Charles Frederic Gerhardt– Makes Aspirin
• 1800s: Organic Dyes:– Mauve, Magenta

Atomic Theory
• John Dalton: 1766- 1844– elements composed of atoms of
a single type, which combine to form molecules
• 1897: J.J. Thompson– Discovers the electron
• 1909: Ernest Rutherford– Discovers the Nucleus
• The Quantum Model: 1900s– Particles behave like waves

Nuclear Chemistry:1940s
Fission: nuclei are split apart
Fusion: nuclei are fused together

Biotech Industry:Chemistry Improving Health
• Use Chemistry to:– Make medicines– Study genetics,
human disease
