Detailed Summary
CHEMISTRY FORM ONE NOTES INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY Chemistry is a branch of Science. Science is basically the study of living and non-living things. The branch of science that study living things is called Biology. The branch of science that study non-living things is called Physical Science. Physical Science is made up of: (i) Physics- the study of matter in relation to energy (ii) Chemistry- the study of the composition of matter. Chemistry is thus defined as the branch of science that deals with the structure composition, properties and behavior of matter. Basic Chemistry involves studying: (a) States/phases of matter Matter is anything that has weight/mass and occupies space/volume. Naturally, there are basically three states of matter. soil, sand, copper metal, bucket, ice. water, Petrol, ethanol/alcohol, Mercury (liquid metal). A solid is made up of particles which are very closely packed. It thus has a definite/fixed shape and fixed/definite volume /occupies definite space.
Study Tips & Recommendations
Time Management
Practice under timed conditions to improve speed and accuracy. Allocate specific time limits to each section.
Active Practice
Attempt all questions before checking answers. Review mistakes to understand where improvements are needed.
Mark Scheme Review
Study marking schemes carefully to understand how examiners award points and structure your answers accordingly.
