Introduction to Introduction to Physical SciencePhysical Science

Physical Science is composed of Two Sciences

• Chemistry

• Physics

Chemistry is a study of

• Element PropertiesElement Properties•# of Protons, Neutrons, Electrons# of Protons, Neutrons, Electrons•Metal. Non-Metal, Metalloid Metal. Non-Metal, Metalloid

(semiconductor)(semiconductor)

• Reactivity of Elements is based on Valence Electrons (yellow)
