    Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, composition, structure, and changes. It has three main branches - organic chemistry focuses on carbon compounds, inorganic chemistry deals with non-organic substances, and physical chemistry investigates physical principles of chemical phenomena. Matter exists in three states - solid, liquid, and gas - and is made up of elements which cannot be broken down further, consisting of basic units called atoms organized in the periodic table based on their properties and atomic structure.

    Class Notes: Introduction to Chemistry

    1. Definition of Chemistry:

    - Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, composition, structure, and the changes it undergoes.

    2. Branches of Chemistry:

    a. Organic Chemistry: Focuses on carbon compounds.

    b. Inorganic Chemistry: Deals with non-organic substances.

    c. Physical Chemistry: Investigates the physical principles underlying chemical phenomena.

    3. Matter and Its States:

    - Matter exists in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.

    4. Elements and Atoms:

    - Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

    - Atoms are the basic units of elements.

    5. The Periodic Table:

    - Organizes elements based on their properties and atomic structure.

    Remember to review the periodic table and familiarize yourself with the basic concepts before our next
    class!
