Study Notes

Elements and Compounds

Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into other substances.
Each element has specific physical and chemical properties.
Elements are represented by one- or two-letter symbols.
Atoms of elements can combine to form molecules.
A molecule can be made of atoms of different elements or atoms of the same element.
A compound is made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio.
Compounds have different properties from the elements they are made of.

Mixtures

Mixtures are made of two or more substances that are together but not chemically combined.
Each substance in a mixture keeps its own properties.
Mixtures can be heterogeneous or homogeneous.
Heterogeneous mixtures have visible parts that can be easily separated.
Homogeneous mixtures have substances evenly mixed and are difficult to separate.
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.

Separating Mixtures

Magnetic attraction separates iron objects.
Evaporation separates liquids from solids by leaving a liquid to evaporate.
Filtration separates solids from liquids using a filter.
Distillation separates liquids by boiling them into a gas and then condensing the gas.

Atoms and Molecules

Atoms make up all elements.
Atoms have a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged cloud.
Molecules are groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Chemical bonds are forces of attraction between atoms.

Examples of Mixtures

Honey is a homogeneous mixture.
Guacamole is a heterogeneous mixture.
Soy sauce is a homogeneous mixture.
Ketchup is a homogeneous mixture.

Chemical Bonds

Chemical bonds hold atoms together.
The ratio of carbon to oxygen in carbon dioxide is 12:11.
H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide) has an extra oxygen atom compared to H₂O (water), making them different.

Elements Examples

Copper is malleable, ductile, an alloy, non-magnetic, conductive and has a melting point.
Sulfur is a colorless, brittle, light yellow solid, a poor conductor of electricity.

Compounds Examples

Copper sulfide has electrical conductivity, hardness, density, a molar mass, a melting point, and solubility in water.
