This document provides a summary of basic chemistry concepts including: 1. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, and can undergo physical or chemical changes. The four main elements that make up the human body are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. 2. Atoms are the building blocks of elements and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons determines the element. Isotopes of elements vary in neutron number. 3. Molecules are formed by chemical bonds between two or more like atoms, while compounds contain two or more different atoms bonded together. Electron configuration and bonding allow for chemical reactions.
