When people use this word in the lab, they might just mean that something didn't work, or that a chemical reacted in an unwanted way, especially while it was sitting in a bottle for a long time. For instance, when heated or struck, a salt of a complex anion (chlorate, carbonate, azide) may lose a gas (oxygen, carbon dioxide or nitrogen) leaving behind a simpler salt or metal.

A decomposition reaction produces multiple products from a single reactant. Combustion reactions are the combination of some compound with oxygen to make oxides of the other elements as products (although nitrogen atoms react to make \(N_2\)).

Various types of systems are identified, such as open, closed, and isolated systems, based on how they allow matter and energy transfer. The distinctions between homogeneous and heterogeneous systems are also outlined, along with the significance of intensive and extensive variables.

Solids are relatively rigid and have fixed shapes and volumes. In contrast, liquids have fixed volumes but flow to assume the shape of their containers, such as a beverage in a can. Gases, such as air in an automobile tire, have neither fixed shapes nor fixed volumes and expand to completely fill their containers.

(In ancient Greek mythology, Pegasus is a horse with wings, and Parnassus is a mountain associated with art and knowledge because the Muses were said to live there.)
