Study Notes

Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures

Elements: Pure substances composed of only one type of atom.
Compounds: Pure substances formed when two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.
Mixtures: Combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. Each substance retains its own properties. Alloys are a mixture of two elements.
Particle Model: Used to represent elements, compounds, and mixtures. Atoms and molecules are arranged in different ways depending on the substance.

Differences between Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures

Elements have unique properties, different from compounds and mixtures.
Compounds have unique properties, different from their constituent elements.
Mixtures have properties that are typically a combination of the properties of their components.

Properties of Alloys

Alloys are mixtures of two or more elements, and often have different properties from their pure components.
Example: Bronze (copper and tin)
Has a higher melting point than pure copper or pure tin.
More durable than pure copper.
