Covered Topics - Changes in Matter

Hello,

This post provides a preview of topics to be covered in this section of the blog, changes in matter.  In general, the following concepts will be included.

• Basics of Reactions and Chemical Equations
• Conservation of Matter and Balancing Equations
• Associated Energy Changes
• Types of Chemical Reactions
• Chemical Reactions in Water Solutions
• Rates of Reactions
• Chemical Equilibria

The following mind-map shows how these concepts fit together.

A couple things about the mind-map:  In addition to the scroll-bars, you can click-and-drag inside the window to move the map around.  Most of the map is "tied-in" with the reactions topic, which I've indicated with blue arrows.  "Changes" concepts which lead to "reactions" are in red.  In most cases, when you follow a topic through an arrow to a connected topic, you find nearly a complete sentence, which really describes a complete concept.  And finally, on the "physical change side", you can see that an input of heat energy is required in going from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Thanks for reading!  Have a good one!
