    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are the smallest particles of a substance and may or may not exist independently
    • Molecules are formed when two or more atoms join together and can exist independently

    Chemical Substances

    • Chemical substances can be divided into two major subgroups: pure substances and mixtures
    • Pure substances can be elements or compounds

    Elements

    • An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atom
    • Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
    • Examples of elements: silver, gold, aluminium, hydrogen, oxygen
    • Each element has its own distinct set of properties
    • The atoms of an element will have all the properties of the particular element
    • Fact file: There are over 118 known elements on earth, with 94 being natural
