    Study Notes

    Elements

    • A pure substance with only one type of atom.
    • Always homogeneous and uniform throughout.
    • Cannot be chemically separated; nuclear reactions can split them.
    • Over 100 elements identified on the Periodic Table.

    Compounds

    • A pure substance composed of two or more different elements.
    • Atoms in a compound are chemically bonded.
    • Typically form molecules, though not exclusively.
    • Always homogeneous and cannot be separated by physical methods; requires a chemical reaction.
    • Possess properties that differ from the individual elements.

    Mixtures

    • Consist of two or more compounds or elements that are not chemically combined.
    • No chemical reactions occur between components.
    • Mixtures can be heterogeneous (non-uniform) or homogeneous (uniform), known as solutions.
    • Can be separated into individual components through physical or chemical means.
    • Their properties reflect those of the combined substances.
