    Study Notes

    Importance of Chemistry in Barbering

    • Knowledge of chemistry allows barbers to use products effectively and safely.
    • Chemicals are integral to daily barbering practices, including disinfection and infection control.
    • Understanding ingredients helps barbers select the best products for client services.
    • Familiarity with chemical reactions aids in preventing and resolving issues during applications.

    Overview of Basic Chemistry Concepts

    • Organic Chemistry: Focuses on carbon-containing compounds; includes natural and synthetic materials like gasoline and plastics. Most organic substances have the ability to burn.
    • Inorganic Chemistry: Deals with non-carbon substances, often found in metals, minerals, water, and air. Inorganic substances cannot burn and were never alive.

    Definition of Matter

    • Matter is defined as anything occupying space and having mass; can exist as solid, liquid, or gas.
    • Physical properties of matter are perceivable through touch, taste, smell, or sight.
    • Unlike matter, energy (light, electricity) does not have mass and cannot occupy space.

    Elements and Their Classification

    • An element is the simplest form of chemical matter, consisting of only one type of atom; it retains its identity and cannot be broken down further.
    • There are 118 known elements, with 98 occurring naturally and 20 being synthetic or artificially produced.

    Carbon in the Periodic Table

    • Atomic Number: 6
    • Element Name: Carbon
    • Symbol: C
    • Atomic Mass: 12.01
