Rings with the formula C6H12 do not contain a double bond. All of the different compounds of C6H12 have their own chemical and physical properties. Conclusion Chemistry is the study of matter and its transformations. Matter is made of elements and compounds. Throughout this book we will be studying the structure of matter at the level of atoms and molecules, as well as the properties of matter at the macroscopic level of solids, liquids, gases, and mixtures.
Thus, in water, H2O, the ratio by Important Point Compounds may be separated into their elements by ordinary chemical reactions. An element, however, cannot be changed by an ordinary chemical reaction. To change an element requires a nuclear reaction. mass of oxygen to hydrogen is 8 to 1. In carbon dioxide, CO2, the ratio of oxygen to carbon is 8 to 3. In lead sulfide, PbS, the ratio of lead to sulfur is 207 to 32. Typically what happens in a chemical reaction is that compounds exchange atoms to form new compounds.

Charges with the same sign (that is, both A triatomic molecule contains are positive or both are negative) tend to repel three atoms. each other. Without neutrons, no atom could exist that had two or more protons. By means of an extremely strong force of nature called the strong nuclear force, protons and neutrons are attracted to each other, which effectively holds multiple protons together so they don’t fly apart.
