This document defines key chemistry concepts including matter, elements, compounds, mixtures, physical and chemical changes. It provides examples for each term to illustrate the definitions. Specifically, it defines matter as anything with mass and volume, elements as pure substances made of one type of particle, and compounds as pure substances made of two or more elements that form one type of particle. It also distinguishes between physical changes that change a substance's form but not its composition, versus chemical changes that create a new substance.
