Quiz 1: Fullscreen Mode Chapter 16: Electrical Quantities – Theory and Formulas 16.1 Electric Charge Atoms contain: Protons – Positive charge Neutrons – No charge Electrons – Negative charge An atom is neutral when it has equal numbers of protons and electrons. Charging by Friction Electrons transfer from one material to another. The material that loses electrons becomes positively charged, and the one that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. Interaction of Charges Like charges repel Unlike charges attract Conductors and Insulators Conductors : Allow electrons to move freely (e.g., metals) Insulators : Hold electrons tightly (e.g., plastic, glass) 16.2 Electric Field An electric field is a region where a charge experiences a force. Field Line Directions Positive charge : Field lines point away Negative charge : Field lines point toward Field Strength Stronger where field lines are closer together. ...
Quiz: Fullscreen Mode AN INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Complete Study Notes for Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry SECTION 16.1: Understanding Organic Chemistry Basics What Are Organic Compounds? Organic compounds are special chemicals that contain the element carbon . You can find them everywhere in your daily life! The food you eat (like bread, rice, and meat), your hair, plastic bottles, soap, and even medicines are all made from organic compounds. There are two types of organic compounds: Natural organic compounds - These come from nature, like the proteins in your hair or the sugar in fruits Synthetic organic compounds - These are man-made in factories, like plastics, detergents, and modern medicines Important Note: Not ALL compounds with carbon are organic! Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) contain carbon but are NOT organic compounds. Wha...
