Lesson 1 Basic Concepts about Chemistry Introduction In this lesson, the question “What exactly is chemistry about?” is addressed. In addition, common terminology associated with the field of chemistry is considered. Much of this terminology is introduced in the context of the ways in which matter is classified. Like all other sciences, chemistry has its own specific language. It is necessary to restrict the meanings of some words so that all chemists (and those who study chemis...
