, TOPIC: INTRODUCTION
• COURSE DISCRIPTION:
• Methods of Science:
• Measurement and Precision
• Significant figures
• Errors in quantitative measurements
• Nature of matter
• Elements and compounds
• Types of reactions
, Introduction
• What is Chemistry?
• It is the study of Matter
• Chemistry is the science that deals with the
characteristics properties of a substance that
can be measured and the changes it
undergoes.
• Chemistry is largely an experimental science
that deals with things that can be measured.
, Measurements and Precision
• What is measurement?
• Measurement is the comparison of a physical
quantity with a unit (of measurement) or a
standard.
• A complete measurement is made up of three
parts namely: (1). Figure (2) Unit and (3).
