Early computers took up an entire room and were accessible only to a few people. today, most computers are small enough to fit on a desk, and many people around the world use them. which breakthrough in computer science made it possible for people to connect with each other around the world?

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
