Study Notes
Elements and Compounds
- Millions of pure substances exist
- People have studied these substances for thousands of years
- Ancient civilizations extracted copper, attempting to turn other metals into gold (alchemists)
- Pure substances are classified as elements or compounds
- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances
- Scientists have identified approximately 104 elements.
- Elements are made of only one type of particle (e.g., aluminum foil is made of aluminum particles)
- Some elements are common, like iron, aluminum, and oxygen, and some are rare
- Some elements are safe, while others are explosive or poisonous
Elements in Compounds
- Elements combine to form compounds
- Compounds are pure substances made of two or more different elements.
- Compounds can be solids, liquids or gases
- Water is an example compound made of hydrogen and oxygen
- The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements it’s made of
- Table salt (sodium chloride) is made of sodium and chlorine, which are poisonous individually but safe when combined
