Understanding Chemistry

(updated 16 March 2023)

Chemistry is a branch of Physical Science concerned with how various materials combine to form new compounds, as well as the reactions involved in reducing compounds to their elements. It is how atoms interact to form molecules and how molecules interact with each other. It also looks into the composition of substances and their properties.

The knowledge of Chemistry is important for the development of the products we use. It is also an interesting and exciting subject of value in many walks of life. There is a great need for people who understand chemistry principles and know how to think logically. Your knowledge and skills in these areas can help you excel in school, advance your career or improve your business.

The purpose of these lessons is to help you gain understanding the basics of Chemistry, such that you will become a champion in the subject.
