Basic Chemistry

Basic chemistry is the study of matter—the stuff everything around us is made of—and how it changes. Atoms are the building blocks of matter, tiny particles with different types called elements. Atoms combine to form molecules, creating everything from water to air to materials like plastic. Chemistry explores how atoms and molecules interact, combine, and break apart through chemical reactions. This understanding helps us develop new medicines, materials, and technologies, and explains natural processes. Essentially, chemistry reveals the fundamental principles governing the composition, structure, and changes of matter in our universe.
