โ Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter.
โ Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
โ States of Matter:
โพ Matter exists in three primary states: solid, liquid, and gas.
โ Solids have a definite shape and volume.
โ liquid have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
โ Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.
โ Properties of Matter:
โ Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's composition (e.g., color, density, melting point).
โ Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances to form new substances (e.g., flammability, reactivity).
โ Element, Compound, and Mixture:
โ An element is a pure substance composed of atoms with the same atomic number.
โ A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in fixed ratios.
โ A mixture is a physical blend of two or more substances, each retaining its own properties.
โ Atomic Structure:
โ An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its properties.
It consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) and electrons in energy levels surrounding the nucleus.
โ Chemical Bonding:
โ Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to form molecules or compounds.
โ Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, while ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
โ Chemical Reactions:
โ Chemical reactions involve the transformation of reactants into products through the breaking and formation of chemical bonds.
โ Reactants are the substance which take part in a chemical reaction.
โ Products are the resulting substances.
โ Chemical Equations:
โ Chemical reactions are represented using chemical equations, with reactants on the left and products on the right.
Coefficients indicate the relative quantities of reactants and products.
โ Laws of Chemical Combination:
โ The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction, mass is conserved; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.
โ The Law of Definite Proportions states that a compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass.
โ Dalton's Atomic Theory:
โ Dalton's theory proposed that elements are composed of indivisible atoms.
โ Atoms of different elements can combine to form compounds.
โ Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms.
