Reason For Learning
Chemical reactions play a vital role in your everyday life. When you take a deep breath, you start a series of chemical reactions that keep you alive. When you place a log on a fire, the chemical reactions keep you warm. Chemical reactions are also used to create new and useful materials such as fuels, plastics, foods and medicines.
Learning Intention
At the completion of this lesson students should be able to explain Dalton's atomic theory of matter, distinguish the differences between spontaneous and non- spontaneous reactions and how atoms react in chemical change.
