Physical Properties: Properties that can be measured without changing the chemical composition of a substance, such as mass, volume, and density.
Chemical Properties: Properties that can be evaluated by changing the chemical composition of matter, indicating how a substance reacts with other substances.
Classification of Matter:
Pure Substances: Consist of only one type of particle; can be elements or compounds.
Mixtures: Contain two or more substances physically combined; can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).
Law of Chemical Combination:
Law of Conservation of Mass: In any chemical change, the total mass of reactants is always equal to the total mass of products formed.
Mass:Reactants=Products
