1. Biochemistry Lecture Post-RN (Unit 1) Basic concept of Chemistry by , Miss Areesha Ahmad Lecturer

2. Matter and its structure

3. E lements , mixtures, and compounds

4. I mportance of ions and electrolytes in the body

5. Chemical bonding, its types (Intramolecular and intermolecular Bonding), and its properties and importance.

6. T ypes of chemical reactions with emphasis on redox reactions.

7. C hemical nature of acid, base, pH, and blood buffers including their properties, roles, and importance in the living system

8. pH In  chemistry ,  pH  also referred to as  acidity  or  basicity , historically denotes " potential  of  hydrogen " (or "power of hydrogen"). It is a  logarithmic scale  used to specify the  acidity  or  basicity  of  aqueous solutions .  A solution with a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than pure water is an acid, while a solution with a lower concentration is a base. The pH scale is logarithmic and inversely indicates the  activity  of  hydrogen ions  in the solution. pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. On this scale, a pH value of 7 is neutral, which means it is neither acidic nor basic. A pH value of less than 7 means it is more acidic, and a pH value of more than 7 means it is more basic.
