Class Basic Chemistry

Chemistry is a science that studies the basic concepts of General Chemistry, such as matter, its transformations that occur with it, and the energies involved in these processes, atom, chemical elements, Periodic Table, and chemical bonds and reactions. This basic chemistry course will introduce you to the study of this science, taking a first look at chemistry and providing support to further your studies.
