MODULE IN COMMON CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS AND SUPPLIES IN AND

AROUND YOUR HOME AND THEIR CHEMICAL FORMULA

First Quarter/ Week 1/ Day 2

Objective: To recognize the formula of the common chemical compounds.

Chemical Formula in Chemistry is like a shorthand used to represent the elements and compounds. It
plays a vital role in predicting the products in a chemical reaction. It gives an idea of how a substance has
formed and the proportion of elements involved in that particular reaction.

We come across various chemical substances in our daily life. Some of the substances we use in our
house such as the staples present in the medicine cabinet comprise chemical substances. All these
chemicals are bound up with atoms in a fixed proportion and also these are arranged in a certain way. So,
to figure out what kind of proportions are these and their arrangement within the substance, the chemical
formula is more needed.

The following tables contain common chemical compounds and supplies which may be found in and
around your home with their chemical formula
