Overview
This chapter explores the fundamental building blocks of matter and explains how chemical reactions occur. We learn about Antoine Lavoisier's groundbreaking experiments, Dalton's atomic theory, and the laws governing chemical reactions. The chapter connects everyday observations like rusting of iron
Key Concepts
Matter is neither created nor destroyed
Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. The mass of products equals the mass of reactants. Discovered by Antoine Lavoisier
A given chemical substance always contains
A given chemical substance always contains the same elements combined in fixed proportions by mass, regardless of source or method of preparation. Jos
Five postulates
Five postulates: 1) Matter consists of indivisible atoms, 2) Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in reactions, 3) All atoms of an element are iden
Elements are represented by symbols (H
Elements are represented by symbols (H, O, Na, Cl) and compounds by formulae (H₂O, NaCl, CaCO₃). Symbols can be one or two letters, with first letter
Atomicity is the number of atoms
Atomicity is the number of atoms in a molecule (H₂ is diatomic, O₃ is triatomic). Valency is the combining capacity of an element, determining how man
