Study Notes
Elements and Compounds: Definition, Types, and Classification
- Chemistry is the study of the structures, physical properties, and chemical properties of material substances.
- Classification of matter is important because gases, liquids, and solids have different compositions.
- Elements are species of atoms with the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- There are 118 elements, of which 94 are naturally occurring and 24 are synthetic.
- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler fragments and can exist as atoms or molecules.
- Compounds are substances consisting of two or more different types of elements in a fixed ratio.
- Compounds have new properties compared to their constituent elements.
- Compounds are represented by their chemical formula, which shows the proportions of atoms in the compound.
- There are two types of compounds: molecular compounds, which have covalent bonds, and salts, which have ionic bonds.
- Chemical bonds are the attractive interactions between atoms in a compound.
- Covalent compounds consist of molecules, while ionic compounds consist of positively and negatively charged ions.
