In the SI system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. However, a mole of something is just a particular quantity of it. It is not a unit of measure in the way that meters, seconds, and kilograms are. Calculations performed with the number of moles of a substance could also be performed with the number of particles of a substance. Based on this information, do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system? Explain why or why not

States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates). 

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
