I am trying to self learn about chemistry not at a 'detailed' level but at a higher level. I find chemical reactions very interesting. I know you have periodic table of elements and you have some 'measurement' tables for each element. I am aware 'conditions' are important(cold, hot) as you process chemicals. The reason I find chemical reaction interesting is thru observation how a human turns from 'liquid semen' and processed in womb and develops a physical human body. Our human bodies is a definite chemical reaction.
I want to see how other solid-liquids-gas operate when chemical testing is applied.
But can we start with 'concepts' first not 'details', becuz details without concepts is 'memorisation' not 'true knowledge'
I understand the 'atom' must be understood since everything is made of atoms. I am trying to visualize atoms, pls tell me if this is close enough visual, for example 'gravel' in a 'road base', when u bring the bits n pieces together thru 'bonding' agents, it creates a road. I know the bonding agent is 'particles, neutrons, electrons'. I understand eletrons is electric charge to give it 'energy', but Im baffled with how to visualize particles and neutrons.
I want to know this knowledge about chemistry cause it's important field I want my sub-clan to pursue either thru 'bachelor' knowledge level or research' level.
