Matter

Everything around us is made of matter, like solids, liquids, and gases. Matter is important because it helps us understand chemistry and learn about the different things, their properties, and how they change or react with each other. Studying matter explains the world we see every day.

Bonding

Bonding in chemistry is how atoms join together to form molecules and compounds by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. This process helps atoms achieve stability and results in the creation of many different substances with unique properties, which are essential for understanding the structure and behavior of matter in the world around us.

Metal Reactivities

Metal reactivities simply tell us how quickly or easily different metals react with things like water or air. Some metals react very fast, and some react very slowly or almost not at all. This helps us know which metals are more or less likely to change when mixed or exposed to other substances.
