**Fundamentals of Chemistry (10 minutes)**
**3. Atoms and Molecules**

- **Atoms**: Basic units of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, electrons.
- **Molecules**: Groups of atoms bonded together.
- **Elements and Compounds**: Elements (pure substances, one type of atom), compounds
(two or more elements chemically combined).
**4. The Periodic Table**

- **Organization**: Rows (periods), columns (groups), elements arranged by atomic number.
- **Trends**: Atomic size (increases down a group, decreases across a period), ionization
energy (energy required to remove an electron), electronegativity (attraction of an atom for
electrons).
---
**Chemical Bonding (10 minutes)**
**5. Types of Chemical Bonds**

- **Ionic Bonds**: Transfer of electrons from one atom to another (e.g., NaCl).
- **Covalent Bonds**: Sharing of electrons between atoms (e.g., H2O).
- **Metallic Bonds**: Free electrons moving among a lattice of metal atoms.
**6. Molecular Geometry and Polarity**

- **VSEPR Theory**: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory, predicts molecular shape.
- **Polarity**: Distribution of electrical charge (polar vs. nonpolar molecules).
---
**Chemical Reactions (10 minutes)**
**7. Types of Chemical Reactions**

- **Synthesis**: Two or more substances combine (A + B → AB).
- **Decomposition**: A compound breaks down (AB → A + B).
- **Single Displacement**: One element replaces another (A + BC → AC + B).
- **Double Displacement**: Exchange of ions between two compounds (AB + CD → AD +
CB).
- **Combustion**: Substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy (e.g., CH4 + 2O2 → CO2
+ 2H2O).
**8. Energy Changes in Reactions**

- **Exothermic**: Release energy (e.g., combustion).
