States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

Question

Imagine a world in which all the elements existed, but they couldn't form any chemical
bonds with each other. What kinds of substances could exist in such a world? What
kinds of substances could not exist? What do you think this world would be like?

There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change. Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.

You take some water with a straw and put a few drops on a plastic sheet. If you move a drop around with your straw. Does the drop change? If you move one of the drops close to another with your straw. What happens when two drops meet? When you put a small amount of one of the solids (salt, pepper, sugar, talcum powder) on one of the drops. Does the shape change?
Compounds are combinations of elements. The combination of those elements is specific to the compound. Some compounds have the exact same elements but in different amounts. Look at C6H12O6, which you hopefully recognize as glucose (think cellular respiration and photosynthesis. But ribose is a 5 carbon sugar and its formula is C5H10O5 which you hopefully recognize (think RNA). They both have the same elements, but have different numbers of each element (sugars all have the 1:2:1 ratio). When you're looking at a formula, it's wise to look for the capital letters. That indicates when a different element is present. For glucose, there's a capital C - carbon, a capital H - hydrogen, and a capital O - oxygen. Behind elements, the subscripts help indicate the number of each element that's present. In glucose, there are 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens. How many carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens does ribose have in its formula?
