  1. Elements and Compounds 2.3 • Take two pounds of sugar, two cups of boiling water, and one quarter teaspoon of cream of tartar. Add food coloring and you have the sticky, sweet concoction known as cotton candy. You will learn how substances are classified as elements or compounds.

  2. 2.33 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • How are elements and compounds different?

  3. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • An element is the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties. • A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.

  4. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.

  5. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Breaking Down Compounds • A chemical change is a change that produces matter with a different composition than the original matter. • When table sugar is heated, it goes through a series of chemical changes.

  6. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • The final products of these chemical changes are solid carbon and water vapor. The following diagram summarizes the process.

  7. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Properties of Compounds • In general, the properties of compounds are quite different from those of their component elements. • When the elements sodium and chlorine combine chemically to form sodium chloride, there is a change in composition and a change in properties.

  8. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Chlorine is used to kill harmful organisms in swimming pools.

  9. 2.3 Distinguishing Elements and Compounds • Sodium Chloride (commonly known as table salt) is used to season or preserve food.

  10. 2.3 Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures • Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures • How can substances and mixtures be distinguished?

  11. 2.3 Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures • If the composition of a material is fixed, the material is a substance. If the composition of a material may vary, the material is a mixture.

  12. 2.3 Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures • This flowchart summarizes the process for classifying matter.

  13. for Conceptual Problem 2.2 Problem Solving 2.19 Solve Problem 19 with the help of an interactive guided tutorial

  14. 2.33 Symbols and Formulas • Symbols and Formulas • What do chemists use to represent elements and compounds?

  15. 2.3 Symbols and Formulas • Chemists use chemical symbols to represent elements, and chemical formulas to represent compounds. • These chemical symbols were used in earlier centuries.

  16. 2.3 Symbols and Formulas • Each element is represented by a one or two-letter chemical symbol.

  17. 2.3 Section Quiz. • 2.3.

  18. 2.3 Section Quiz • 1. Passing an electric current through a certain substance produces oxygen and sulfur. This substance cannot be a(n) • compound. • mixture. • element. • solution.

  19. 2.3 Section Quiz • 2. Which of the following is a mixture? • sodium chloride • carbon dioxide • sucrose • air

  20. 2.3 Section Quiz. • 3. The symbol for the element potassium is • K. • Po. • P. • Pt.
