ATOMIC ORBITALS
Three-dimensional regions where electrons
are most likely to be found in an atom.
ELECTRON
Negatively charged subatomic
particle orbiting the nucleus.
What are its components?
NEUTRON
Neutral particle in the atomic
nucleus alongside protons.
ATOMIC NUCLEUS
Positively charged center of the atom
containing protons and neutrons.
PROTON
Positively charged particle
in the atomic nucleus.
ATOMIC NUMBER
The atomic number of an element is the number of
protons in the nucleus of an atom. It uniquely identifies
each element on the periodic table.
ATOMIC MASS
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons
and neutrons. It represents the total number of
nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus.
NUMBER OF NEUTRONS
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated
by subtracting the atomic number from the mass
Number of neutrons: 12.011 - 6 = 6.011
number. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus and vary
in number among different isotopes of an element.

PURE SUBSTANCE COMPOUND
a material composed of only one type of particle, is a pure substance composed of two or more
either atoms or molecules. It has uniform different types of atoms chemically bonded
composition and distinct chemical properties. together in fixed proportions. Compounds can be

ELEMENT MIXTURE
an element is a pure substance composed of is a combination of two or more substances
atoms with the same atomic number. Elements physically mixed together, but not chemically
cannot be broken down into simpler substances bonded. They can be homogeneous (uniform
by ordinary chemical means. Each element is composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform

Ionic bonding
This occurs between metals and non-metals.
Covalent bonding
This occurs when two non-metals share electrons.
Metallic bonding
This occurs in metals.
GAS
LAWS
The behavior of gases is governed
by several fundamental laws, each
describing the relationship
between different properties like
pressure, volume, temperature,
and the amount of gas present.
BOYLE’S
LAW
This law states that the pressure
(P) and volume (V) are inversely
proportional for a fixed amount of
gas at a constant temperature.
Mathematically:
PV = constant
CHARLE’S
LAW
This law describes the relationship
between volume (V) and absolute
temperature (T) of a fixed amount of gas
at constant pressure.
Mathematically:
V/T = constant
GENERALIZED
GAS LAW
(Combined Gas Law):
(P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂
ALKALINITY
Alkalinity is water's capacity to resist acidic
changes in pH. Essentially, alkalinity is
water's ability to neutralize acid. A water
body with a high alkalinity level has higher
levels of calcium carbonate and CaCO3,
which can decrease the water's acidity.
ACID
An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in
water. Acids have a sour taste, can change the color of specific indicators
(like litmus paper turning red), and react with metals to produce hydrogen
gas.
WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness refers to the presence of dissolved minerals, primarily
calcium and magnesium ions, in water.
WHAT IS TURBIDITY?
Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid
caused by large numbers of individual particles that
are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to
smoke in air.
