05 Feb The Simplest Kind of Matter
Chemistry tuition class in Miracle Learning Centre is fun and enriching. You will learn about the different aspects of Science and how to learn study skills too.
If you do not like or understand science, you must definitely attend the chemistry tuition class at Miracle Learning Centre to arouse and reignite your interest. Let us learn about What is an Element ,the Simplest Kind of Matter in this Chemistry tuition lesson.
What is an Element?
Element is the simplest kind of matter. All matter consists of elements and an element is a substance which cannot be split into two or more simpler substances by chemical methods. The most abundant element in the Earth’s crust is oxygen.
The Periodic Table
Elements are classified systematically according to their properties in a form of a table called Periodic table and each element is represented by a symbol of one or two letters and has a different number called atomic number.
The vertical column of the Periodic Table is called Group and elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
For example, Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium and Potassium are in Group I. The horizontal row of the Periodic Table is called Period and chemical properties of the elements. It change gradually across a period from the left to the right of the Periodic Table. For example, Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron are in Period 2.
Metals vs Non-Metals
Elements to the left of the zigzag line in the Periodic Table are metals while those to the right of the line are non-metals.
Some common properties of metals are that most metals have high melting points, high density and are solids at room temperature.
On the other hand, non-metals have low melting points, low density and can be solids, liquids or gases at room temperature.
Miracle Learning Centre would like to bring you more facts on chemistry tuition concepts and experiments. We hope you have understood this chemistry tuition lesson. Science tuition lessons are created to help students excel and we believe “You are a MIRACLE!” and you can do it too.
Why Choose Miracle Learning Centre?
The one thing about which Miracle Learning Centre feel proud about is that our classes are designed in such a way that no student will ever feel bored or overburden in our classes.
Chemistry has always been that subject which has always been disliked by the students. There are various myths about the subject that Chemistry is just a big chunk of complex formulas and principles. They are really tough to understand and are somewhat not that useful. Some of this may be true but most of this myths are baseless according to us.
Chemistry is one of those subjects which despite having various branches of complexities. These are also filled with a lot of fun and excitement.
We feel that this subject needs to be taught in a very comprehensive way because that is the best and most effective way to learn it.
At Miracle Learning Centre our classes are completely different from any other education center and they are extraordinary yet enriching. We invite you to give a try to our innovative classes of A level chemistry tuition, O level chemistry tuition, JC chemistry tuition in Singapore.
FAQS:
Which is the simplest form of matter?
An element is the simplest substance that cannot be further degraded by chemical or physical means. They are the essence of things. For example, O2, H2, N2
what is the most abundant element on earth
oxygen, which amounts for approximately 49.5% of the total mass of the Earth’s crust, seas, and atmosphere. Silicon ranks second at 28%. Aluminum ranks third, accounting for only 8%. Compounds of silicon and oxygen account for 87% of the components in the Earth’s crust.28 Mar 1996
what is matter in chemistry
Matter is defined as anything that fills space and has mass—in other words, the “stuff” that makes up the cosmos. All matter is composed of elements, which have distinct chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other things through standard chemical reactions.
