Study Notes
Elements
- Pure substances containing only one kind of atom.
- Always homogeneous and cannot be separated into simpler materials except during nuclear reactions.
- Over 109 elements are classified on the periodic table.
- Examples include Diamond (C), Krypton (K), Bismuth (Bi), Uranium (U), Iron (Fe), Gold (Au), and Titanium (Ti).
Compounds
- Pure substances made of two or more kinds of atoms that are chemically combined.
- Always homogeneous and cannot be separated by physical means; requires a chemical reaction for separation.
- Properties of compounds differ from the properties of the individual elements they contain.
- Examples include Water (H2O), Ammonia (NH3), Dry Ice (CO2), Sugar (C6H12O6), Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), and Alcohol (CH3OH).
Mixtures
- Composed of two or more elements or compounds that are not chemically combined, with no reaction occurring between substances.
- Can be homogeneous (solutions) or heterogeneous (non-uniform).
- Mixtures can be separated into components through physical or chemical means.
- Properties of mixtures reflect the properties of their components.
- Examples include Air, Wood, Bronze, Milk, Gasoline, Pails of Garbage, Ink, Popcorn, Dogs, Pizza, and Concrete.
Non-Classified
- Energy and Electricity do not fall into the categories of elements, compounds, or mixtures.
