useful a form of matter is to us as a
resource, based on its availability
of concentration.
a. High Quality Matter – organized,
concentrated, found near earth’s surface, and
has great potential for use as a matter resource.

deep underground or dispersed in oceans or the
atmosphere, and has little potential for use as a
matter resource.

XIII.
Energy
Two Laws of
• Law of Conservation of Energy (First Law of
Energy or First Law of Thermodynamics) - in all
physical and chemical changes, energy is
neither created or destroyed, but it may be
converted from one form to another.
•
-energy input always equals energy output
•
-cannot get something for nothing in terms of
energy quantity
• Law of Conservation of Energy –
We may change various forms of
energy from one form to another, but
in no physical or chemical change
can we create or destroy any of the
energy involved. (there is no away)
Energy can b changed from
one form to another
Second Law of Energy or
Thermodynamics
• – when energy is changed from one form
to another, some of the useful energy is
always degraded to lower quality, more
dispersed, less useful energy.
- heat always flows spontaneously from
hot (high quality energy) to cold (low
quality energy).
• - we can not even break even in terms of
energy, energy always goes from a more
useful to less useful form.
• You cant break even

Energy efficiency
• Energy efficiency is the ratio of work
that is done to the total amount of
energy that was introduced into the
system in the first place.
Energy Input
– potential
energy from
gasoline

Energy Output
-useful energy,
kinetic which
moves the car
-waste energy,
heat from
friction, tires,
brakes, sound
Energy efficiency is expressed in a
percent, for example 70% efficient
means 70% of energy is used to do
work and 30% is lost as heat
•
•
•
•
•
For example
Coal to electricty is 35%
Transport of electricity is 90%
Light bulb is 5%
Then when you burn coal the amoiunt of
that energy used to actually make light is
• .35x.90x.05=.016 or 1.6%
• 1.6% of the coal burned was used to
make light, 98.4% is lost as heat

Energy Quality – measure
of an energy source’s
ability to do useful work.
a. High energy quality – organized or
concentrated and can perform much
useful work.
b. Low energy quality – disorganized
or dispersed and has little ability to
do useful work.

• Law of Conservation of Matter – We
may change various elements and
compounds from one physical or
chemical for to another, but in no
physical or chemical change can we
create or destroy any of the atoms
involved. (there is no away)
XII. Nuclear Changes – occur when
nuclei or certain isotopes
spontaneously change into one or
more different isotopes.
• Natural Radioactive Decay – a nuclear change in which
unstable isotopes (radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes)
spontaneously emit fast moving chunks of matter called
particles, high energy radiation, or both at a fixed rate.
a. Gamma Rays – a form of high energy electromagnetic
radiation (ionizing energy)
b. Alpha Particles – fast moving positively charged chunks of
matter consisting of 2 protons and two neutrons 9 (ionizing
particle), harmful when inhaled or ingested, can cause skin
cancer.
c. Beta Particles – High speed electrons (ionizing particle),
can damage internal organs even when not ingested or
inhaled.

• Causes:

• 2. Altering a cellular chemical by knocking an
electron loose.

chemical functioning
• Types:
• 1. Genetic Damage – mutations to DNA
molecules that alter genes and chromosomes.
(possibly passed to following generations)
• 2. Somatic Damage – to tissues, which cause
harm during a lifetime (burns, cancers)
