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
