Chapter OverviewThis chapter introduces some basic concepts of
chemistry, a science that studies the composition of substances and the changes
that occur as basic elements combine. It explains how substances combine to

(objective 6), and the organic and inorganic substances that make up the living
cell (objectives 7 and 8). Knowledge of basic chemical concepts will enhance
