We Humans have known for thousands of years, just looking at our environment around us that

0:00:07.207,0:00:10.333
there are different substances, and these different substances tend to have different properties, and

0:00:11.954,0:00:14.745
not only do they have different properties; one might reflect light in a certain way, or not reflect light

0:00:17.601,0:00:20.457
or be a certain colour, or at certain temperature be liquid, or gas, or be a solid,

0:00:22.108,0:00:24.867
but we also start to observe how they react with each other in certain circumstances.

0:00:27.663,0:00:31.477
And here's pictures of some of these substances. This right here is Carbon, and this is in it's graphite form;

0:00:31.477,0:00:36.069
this right here is Lead, this right here is Gold,

0:00:38.719,0:00:41.369
and all of the ones that I've drawn, that I've shown pictures of here, and I got them all from this website right over there

0:00:41.369,0:00:45.453
all of these are in their solid form, but we also know that

0:00:47.395,0:00:49.338
it looks like there's certain types of air, you know, certain types of air particles,

0:00:49.338,0:00:52.210
and depending on what type of air particles you're looking at

0:00:55.079,0:00:57.948
whether it is carbon, or oxygen, or nitrogen, that seems to have different types of properties,

0:00:57.948,0:00:59.425
or there are other things that can be liquid,

0:00:59.425,0:01:02.082
or even if you raise the temperature high enough on these things,

0:01:02.082,0:01:05.018
if you raise the temperature high enough on Gold or Lead

0:01:05.018,0:01:06.503
you could get a liquid,

0:01:06.503,0:01:09.841
Or if you kind of - if you burn this Carbon

0:01:09.841,0:01:12.076
you can get it to a gaseous state,

0:01:12.076,0:01:13.351
you can release it into the atmosphere,
