  • Physical Chemistry: study of the physical properties and behavior of matter at the molecular and atomic level
  • Analytical Chemistry: study of the analysis and identification of the chemical composition of substances
  • Biochemistry: study of the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms

Atomic Structure

  • Atoms: smallest units of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons
  • Protons: positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom
  • Neutrons: particles with no charge in the nucleus of an atom
  • Electrons: negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus of an atom
  • Electron Shells: energy levels that electrons occupy around the nucleus

Chemical Bonding

  • Chemical Bond: attractive force between atoms that holds them together
  • Covalent Bond: bond formed by sharing electrons between atoms
  • ** Ionic Bond**: bond formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms
  • Hydrogen Bond: weak bond between atoms with a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom

Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical Reaction: process in which one or more substances are converted into new substances
