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.
![### Determining the Number of Atoms in a Molecule: CH₃CH₂OH
In this activity, you are asked to identify the number of specific atoms within the given molecule, CH₃CH₂OH. Below is a table to fill in the corresponding number of atoms for each element present in the molecule.
**NOTICE: Some elements repeat!! What number is actually there when we see no number?**
#### Elements in the Molecule CH₃CH₂OH
| Element | # of Atoms |
|---------|--------------|
| C | |
| H | |
| O | |
| Total: | |
**Explanation of the Structure CH₃CH₂OH:**
- **C** represents Carbon atoms.
- **H** represents Hydrogen atoms.
- **O** represents Oxygen atoms.
In the chemical formula, if an element symbol is not followed by a number, it means there is only one atom of that element in the molecule.
#### Steps to Identify the Number of Atoms:
1. **Carbon (C):** Count the number of carbon atoms in the formula.
2. **Hydrogen (H):** Count the number of hydrogen atoms in the formula.
3. **Oxygen (O):** Count the number of oxygen atoms in the formula.
Fill in the table with the correct values based on your count. This ensures you understand molecular formulas and can identify the quantity of each type of atom present in any given molecule.
Use this knowledge to complete the table accurately for the compound CH₃CH₂OH.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fddc15cd4-c75c-4b3e-8637-0c7f945f369e%2F16802cf5-8c2a-44c4-9001-0c55ad310416%2Ft6tphxd_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
