1. Chemistry and Its Applications

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Chemistry : investigates the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of matter

★ Must-know

  • Chemistry supports:
    • health care
    • food production
    • agriculture
    • materials
    • energy
    • manufacturing
    • environmental management

Further detail

📌 Chemistry connects systematic experimentation with practical applications while requiring careful observation and safe laboratory conduct.

2. Matter and Its Properties

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Matter : anything that has mass and occupies space

★ Must-know

  • Physical properties include:
    • color
    • state
    • density
    • solubility
    • melting point

📌 Physical properties can be observed without changing a substance's identity, whereas chemical properties describe its ability to form new substances.

Further detail

  • Chemists study matter at both observable and particle levels.

  • Chemical properties concern reactions such as:

    • flammability
    • corrosion
    • interaction with acids or oxygen
