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.
