CHM 2210: Organic Chemistry 1

Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes using common examples. Understand how sugar reacts in various scenarios, and how metals undergo changes, either maintaining their substance or forming new compounds.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.
