What does matter have to do with chemistry? how are forces involved?

 Matter is the thing which occupied space and volume.

Explanation:  In chemistry or in general life, we define matter as the susbtance which occupied space and make volume for itself. Thus everything on the eart occupied some kind of space thus they all are applicable to fall under the category of Matter.

There are various kinds of forces which hold together the matter depending on the type of susbtances. Like sodium chloride crystal lattice has ionic bonding between the ions whereas carbon skeleton has covalent bonding, water flowing in the river have hydrogen bonding.

These matter are made up of protons, atoms, electrons, neutrons, molecules etc.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
