General Chemistry

Chemistry is the science that explores matter, its properties, structure, and transformations. This comprehensive guide examines key concepts such as the definition of matter—anything with mass and volume—and the distinction between substances and mixtures. Discover the differences between elements and compounds, as well as the variations in mixtures including heterogeneous and homogeneous types. Further, delve into the historical pursuit of alchemy, which aimed to transform base metals into gold, and gain insight into the significance of elements like magnesium in modern applications like fireworks.
