Learn the basics about balancing equations, as a part of chemical calculations. The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction. There are different ways of arranging the atoms. Chemical reactions are about rearranging atoms. Chemical reactions can be represented by symbol equations so long as the number of atoms on each side of the equals sign remains the same. Equations need to be balanced to conserve atoms, by putting numbers in front. A good way to balance an equation is to use a table to keep track of everything. You can only change the big number in front of the compounds, which says how many molecules you have. Charges in a formula also need to be balanced. So, both the atoms and the charges have to balance. Nothing can appear or disappear! This is the most important rule about balancing: no atoms or charges can be made or destroyed.

Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions. In this video we look at how to simplify algebraic fractions, and how to add and subtract them. VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, wh
CREDITS Animation & Design: Peter van de Heuvel Narration: Lucy Billings Script: Lucy Billings The word polygon comes from Greek. Poly means “many” and Gon means “angles”. Polygon = many angles. Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes, that are made of straight lines, with all the sides joined up. VISIT
In algebra we have lots of different names for different things: expressions, equations, formulae and identities are all slightly different versions of similar things. Then within these, we have variables, constants, coefficients and exponents to describe the different parts. We also need to know wh
