Abstract

Chemistry is one of the most difficult sciences in terms of learning, which is taught in the school course. The fact is that the subject of this science is often invisible, and intangible. Concepts are the fundamental building blocks of science and are at the center of the learning process.
Concepts are mental images used to group and understand similar objects, events, ideas, and processes. Among the general characteristics of concepts are learnability, usability, clarity, generality, and strength [1].
