What is an ELEMENT?
o A substance composed of a single kind of atom. o Cannot be broken down into another substance by chemical or physical means. 800 00 o 8 00 o 00
WHAT IS A PURE SUBSTANCE ?
Examples - Gold is an element. Made up of a bunch of gold atoms. There's nothing else in gold except these little gold atoms(Au). - Water is not an element. It's made up of Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen(O) atoms ±3
Pure Substances Particles are identical
Elements Particles are composed of identical atoms Compounds Particles are composed of different atoms
Pure substances: Compounds are pure substances that are made of more than one element bound together. - Examples: water (H2O), and carbon dioxide. Hydrogeni Oxygen
A molecule is formed when two or more atoms chemically combine. Example: water (H2O), O2 Oxygen
What is a COMPOUND?
o A substance in which two or more different elements are CHEMICALLY bonded together. 85
Elements الدقة Elements are composed of only 1 type of atom. Example #1 2 2 2 Notice that two oxygen atoms are bonded (stuck) together. But there is still only 1 type: Oxygen Example #2 Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne Ne
Elements and Compounds A compound is made up of two or more different types of atom combined together. Compound element element Oxygen + Hydrogen Water + O One atom of oxygen combines with two of hydrogen to form one particle of the compound water 86
Elements Helium atoms Oxygen molecules Compound 2 Hydrogen atoms bonding with I oxygen atom Atoms are the smallest particle that substances are made of
Elements, compounds and Mixtures Elements are substances made of only one type of atom e.g. oxygen, gold Compounds are substances made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded e.g. sodium chloride Molecules are atoms bonded together e.g. O2 Keywords: atom, bond, compound, element, mixture, molecule 87
Pure substances: Compounds are pure substances that are made of more than one element bound together. - Examples: water (H2O), and carbon dioxide. O Daypos A molecule is formed when two or more atoms chemically combine. Example: water (H2O), O2 Oxygen
What Is A Mixture? A mixture is made of 2 or more types of atoms that are NOT chemically combined together. Mixtures can take many forms: 2+ Solids 2+ Liquids 2+ Gases ANY combination of solids, liquids & gases Mixture A mixture is two or more substances that are combined, but together they do not form a new substance, They can be easily separated.
There are 2 major types of mixtures: Heterogeneous Homogeneous Means "different" Means "the same" You can see the different parts (phases) of the mixture easily You cannot see the different parts (phases) of the mixture
Solutions A solution is a special type of mixture. A solution is a homogeneous mixture that combines a solute and a solvent.
Solute Solvent The solld part that gets dissolved. e.g. salt, sugar The liquid part that does the dissolving. e.g. water 91 UU 3 5 € 2 3 €
Solubility We can measure how easily a solute will dissolve in a certain solvent. This measurement is called solubility.
HIGH Solubility LOW Solubility The solute dissolves quickly & easily e.g. salt in water The solute does not dissolve easily e.g. sand in water
Separating Mixtures Funnel Magnet Bolling A funnel separates liquids from small solids A magnet separates metals from nonmetals. Boiling separates solids from a liquid. 92
