Chemistry Flashcards
(48 cards)
The study of composition,
structure, and properties of
matter, the changes which
matter undergoes as well as
the laws and principles
governing this changes.
Chemistry
Study of carbon-containing substances
Carbon and hydrogen compounds –
hydrocarbon.
Organic substances - proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
petroleum and coal, animal meat, dairy products, fruits,
and vegetable
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Chemical
product used
in agriculture
Insecticides,
herbicides,
and
fungicides.
Agrochemical – agrichemical
Study of substances that do not
have carbon as its elemental
components.
Applications: catalysts,
pigments, coatings, surfactants,
medicines, fuels, and more
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
• Substance that
speeds up a
chemical reaction,
or lowers the
temperature or
pressure needed
to start one
• It is not consumed
during the
reaction
CATALYSTS
Water-and oil-insoluble
natural and synthetic
products that impart color
to materials such as paper
and plastics.
Pigments
Water- soluble
colorants
Dyes
Studies the structure, energy, and
transformation of substances from
one state of matter to another.
Applications: materials science;
pharmaceutical industry;
environmental science; energy
sector; nanotechnology
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
• Study of chemical processes of and
relating to living organisms.
- processes that occurs in tissues, organs
and the whole living organism.
Application:
• field of medicine - disease processes and to
find cures
• agriculture - discover ways to improve crop
cultivation, storage and pest control.
BIOCHEMISTRY
biochemical changes and
related physiological
alteration in the body
during infection / disease.
• Symptoms described by
the patient - a clue on the
biochemical changes and
the associated disorders.
Biochemistry
• Deals with methods to identify and
measure physical properties of substances.
a. Qualitative test – color reactions, odor,
reactivity but do not determine its amounts.
b. Quantitative test – employ instrumentation
methods to determine components,
concentrations, purities of substances.
Applications: forensics, medicine, science &
engineering
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
• Forensic Chemistry is the
application
of chemistry and its sub-
field, forensic toxicology, in
a legal setting.
• A forensic chemist can
assist in the identification
of unknown materials
found at a crime scene.
Forensic Chemistry
• Medicine is
the field of
health and
healing.
• It aims to
promote and
maintain health
and well being.
Medical Science
– specializations
aligned with STEM
Strand
Involves inventions,
discoveries, innovations,
structural
improvements,
information technology
devices and other
aspects of the vast world
we live in.
SCIENCE &
ENGINEERING
Is involved in both
the natural world and the man-
made world. It’s the link between
all of the physical and life
sciences. That’s why it’s called
“the central science”.
Chemestry
improve health care system from
new drugs and patient-care products
• Examples: antipyretics, analgesics,
antibiotics, antibacterial drugs,
anticancer drugs, vaccines
Medicine and Pharmaceuticals
from anti- ‘against’ and pyretic
(‘feverish’) is a substance that reduces fever.
Example: ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen,
aspirin, acetaminophen,
antipyretic
are medicines that are used to relieve pain
without putting you to sleep. They are also known as
painkillers or pain relievers.
Example: Tylenol
Analgesics
an analgesic and antipyretic drug and a
common painkiller used to treat aches and pain. It can
also be used to reduce high temperature.
Example: Biogesic
Paracetamol
pain reliever for
headache, dental pain, menstrual
cramps, muscle aches, or arthritis.
___________is a Nonsteroidal Anti-
inflammatory Drug (NSAID)
Examples: Advil; Medicol Advance;
ALAXAN
– ibuprofen + paracetamol
Ibuprofen
A _______ is a biological preparation that
provides active acquired immunity to a
particular infectious disease.
• A _______ - contains an agent that
resembles a disease-causing
microorganism and is often made
from weakened or killed forms of the
microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface
proteins.
Vaccine
involves the
calculation of a desirability quotient
(DQ).
• determination of the effects of science
and technology
• determination on how and when
benefits outweigh risks
Risk – Benefit Analysis
is anything that
occupies space and has mass.
Matter
is a form of matter
that has a definite composition and
distinct properties
Substance
