Unit 1 Introduction
Chemisty SCH4U-C
Introduction
Chemistry is the study of the properties and applications of substances that are all around us. A good place to begin this study is to look at the structure of the fundamental building block of matter—the atom—as you will do in Lesson 1. You can then consider different ways in which atoms link together to form the substances around us. In the lessons that follow, you will learn that the chemical and physical properties of these substances are a direct result of how substances are put together. In other words, the properties of any substance depend on the chemical bonds within that substance. In this unit, you will consider two types of bonding.
Understanding the nature of bonding in a substance is the first key step in being able to
