Tailored notes based on your materials, expanded with key definitions, examples, and context.

  • 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 only be evaluated by changing the chemical identity of the substance, such as reactivity.

  • Classification of Matter:

    • Matter is classified into Pure Substances and Mixtures.

    • Pure Substances are further divided into Elements and Compounds.

    • Mixtures are categorized as Homogeneous (uniform composition) and 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
