What to Focus On

  • Chemistry is central to daily life and scientific progress.
  • Inorganic chemistry deals with elements and their compounds except organic compounds.
  • Organic chemistry studies carbon compounds and their derivatives.
  • Matter has mass and occupies space.
  • Matter is classified physically into solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Matter is classified chemically into elements, compounds, and mixtures.
  • Physical properties do not change composition.
  • Chemical properties involve chemical change.
  • The metric system and SI system provide universal units.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Balancing a chemical equation means changing the subscripts in the formula to make atoms match.

In a balanced equation, coefficients show the exact mass of substances directly.

The law of conservation of mass always means mass is conserved in every situation, including nuclear changes.
