Matter • Elements rarely occur in pure form in the earth’s crust. • Instead they are generally found in combination with other elements. • When the atoms of two or more elements are chemically united, the resulting substance is called a compound. • A compound is a new substance with properties different from those of the elements that compose it.
Matter • The smallest complete unit of a compound is called a molecule. • Ex: Water (H2O) • Some elements exist naturally as diatomic molecules, molecules made up of two atoms. • Ex: Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2).
What is the smallest particle of a covalent compound that shows the properties of that compound? • An ion. • An atom. • An element. • A molecule.
The smallest particle of an element that still retains the element’s properties is an • Compound. • Atom. • Isotope. • Mineral.
