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
