,Chapter 01 - Chemistry: An Introduction
1. Define the following terms:
a. science
b. chemistry
ANSWER: a. Science - a framework for gaining and organizing knowledge. It is a procedure for processing and
understanding certain information.
b. Chemistry - the science that deals with the matter of the universe and the changes it can undergo.
2. Define the following terms:
a. scientific method
b. natural law
c. hypothesis
d. theory
ANSWER: a. Scientific method - the process or steps of scientific inquiry.
b. Natural law - a statement describing observed behavior.
JN
c. Hypothesis - a possible explanation for an observation.
d. Theory - a set of tested hypotheses that gives an explanation for some behavior or observation
(also called a model).
3. Which of the following is not a step in the scientific method?
U
a. Make an observation.
b. Formulate a hypothesis.
c. Perform an experiment.
R
d. Change results to agree with your hypothesis.
e. Develop a theory (or model).
