Atom element molecule compounds pure impure mixture, meaning definitions physical change, evidence of chemical change. Section 1.4 CHEMICAL CHANGES - REACTIONS - reactants and products Heating iron and sulphur is classic chemistry experiment to illustrate what is meant by CHEMICAL CHANGE and you can adapt the general conclusions described at the end of this section to any chemical reaction. A mixture of silvery grey iron filings and yellow sulphur powder is made. The iron can be plucked out with a magnet i.e. an easily achieved physical separation because the iron and sulphur are not chemically combined yet! They are still the same iron and sulphur. However, on heating the mixture, it eventually glows red on its own and a dark grey solid called iron sulphide is formed.

Both observations indicate a chemical change is happening i.e. a new substance is being formed. We no longer have iron or sulphur BUT a new compound with different physical properties (e.g. colour) and chemical properties (unlike iron which forms hydrogen with acids, iron sulphide forms toxic nasty smelling hydrogen sulphide!).

Doc Brown's TEACH YOURSELF CHEMISTRY INTRODUCTION to teaching yourself basic chemistry What is chemistry? The above animation tends to illustrate the populist view, but such a view of fizzing, pretty colours and flashes and bangs is frankly, only a small part of the subject we call chemistry - but, initially in the classroom, it is good fun and a good practical introduction!

Unfortunately for many pupils/students its their only view of chemistry and if it doesn't live up to this 'view', it must be boring! E.g. 220+ examples of the uses of elements, compounds & mixtures are briefly described Ten points to bear in mind while following my scheme! How to teach yourself chemistry? A 'good' friend suggested I put together a scheme that taught chemistry from its basics by using various sections of my site. (the start of) THE SCHEME! My initial version lays out a series of 'lessons' which I will regularly revise to make more coherent and by all means email me with suggestions for improvements.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.

Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. Hands-On Equations Parent Home Page.
