Compounds/Elements

A compound contains more than one substance.

Compounds are formed when elements react or combine chemically. Eg. Magnesium+Chlorine --->Magnesium chloride.

If a compound has only TWO elements the name endes with IDE. Eg. NaCl- Sodium+Chlorine--->sodium Chloride.

If the compound contains MORE THAN TWO elements the name ends with ATE. Eg. FeS-Iron+Sulphur--->Iron Sulphide.

Elements are the simplest part of matter that cannot be divided any further by chemical means. Eg. Gold, Oxygen, Mercury&hydrogen.

An element is made up of the same type of atoms and cannot be changed into another element.

Mixtures are substances that contain more than one substance. Most materials are mixtures. Mixtures cane be separated into pure substances.

Atom-Simplest type of particle that can exist on its own and take part in a chemical reaction.

Molecule-Combination of two or more atoms of an element or different elements.

Air is a mixture because it contains more than one substance. It contains mainly oxygen&nitrogen and a little bit of carbon dioxide&other gases.

Mg- Magnesium

Na- Sodium
