Hi there.

Students think chemistry is hard, but it can be easy with the right help. I hope you find useful notes and study tools on this site.

Matter

Chemistry is often defined as the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. For this reason, understanding matter is a good place to start! These notes describe the three main states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) as well as introduce the classification of matter and changes/properties associated with matter.

Below you will find powerpoint notes (available as a PDF) as well as a few videos to help you better understand the topic:
