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.
