In chemistry, a compound is a substance that results from a combination of two or more different chemical element s, in such a way that the atom s of the different elements are held together by chemical bonds that are difficult to break. In this lesson we take a look at compounds and how they form. We also take a look at how we can represent compounds. We also look at the prefixes we use when we name compounds.

Balancing chemical equation
If there are no inequalities, the chemical equation is said to be balanced. In this lesson we look at the balancing of chemical equations and why it is important. We also learnt how to balance the equations.

Acids, bases and pH values
Solutions are classified as acidic or basic based on their hydrogen ion concentration relative to pure water and the pH scale is used to rank solutions in terms of acidity or basicity (alkalinity). In this lesson we investigate acids and bases and the differences between them. We also look at th...
