Chemistry 1st Semester Exam Study Guide Answers+Questions

1. The document defines chemistry as the science that describes the structure of matter and the changes matter undergoes. 2. It explains that the atom is the fundamental unit of matter, composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the nucleus. Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons so the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons. 3. The document also discusses physical properties like density and mass, and chemical properties like burning or rusting. It explains states of matter and gives examples of solids, liquids, and gases.
