Elements, Compounds and Mixtures. Chapter 16
Classification of Substances • Elements • Molecules • Compounds • Mixtures.
Elements • Elements are substances made up of only one type of atom. • Example Hydrogen, Gold.
Molecule • A molecule is made up of two or more atoms chemically combined.
Compounds • Compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined.
Properties of Compounds • When a compound is formed during a chemical reaction its properties differ from those of the elements from which it is made. • Example: Water is made from hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen flammable gas Oxygen colourless gas.
Mixtures • A mixture consists of two or more different substances mingled together but not chemically combined. • Examples: Sea – water and salt Air – nitrogen, oxygen … Soil – sand, clay, humus …
