Meaning of Atom

What is an Atom?

The atom is a basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons.

Meaning of Compound and Substance

What is a Chemical Compound?

Examples?

A chemical Compound (frequently shortened to compound) is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. Chemical compounds have a unique and defined chemical structure; they consist of a fixed ratio of atoms that are held together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical bonds.

Meaning of Compound and Substance

What is a Chemical Substance?

Examples?

A chemical Substance is a material with a specific chemical composition.

A common example of a chemical substance is pure which is not true water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory.

Meaning of Carbon

What is a Carbon?

Examples?

Carbon – is stand alone element , between all elements because his atoms are forming a long chains or cycles between each other.

This property allow the carbon to form a millions of different chemicals compound.

Carbon Cycle

Meaning of Hydrocarbon

What is a Hydrocarbon?

Examples?

Hydrocarbon - is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon.

Hydrocarbons are one of the Earth's most important energy recourses. The main

use of hydrocarbons is as a combustible fuel source. In their solid form, hydrocarbons take the form of asphalt.

Organic Chemicals

What is Organic chemistry?

Organic chemistry is a discipline within chemistry which involves the scientific study of structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of chemical compounds that contain carbon.

What is an organic compound?

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.
