About Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources here start with the basic question: what is an element, what is a compound and what is a mixture? The flashcard deck Elements, Compounds and Mixtures asks exactly those questions, plus how substances can be separated by physical methods. The mind map MIXTURES AND PURE SUBSTANCES goes further, with heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures, solvent and solute, and separation techniques such as decanting.

Where to start

Begin with a mind map to see the whole topic on one screen. The mind map Elements, compounds and mixtures opens with Democritus and the idea of atoms, then moves on to metals and compounds. II. COMPOSITION OF MATTER sorts pure substances, elements, compounds and mixtures side by side, which helps if the terms blur together.

  1. Read a mind map for the overview.
  2. Work through a flashcard deck for the key terms.
  3. Check your recall with a quiz.
  4. Return to the map for anything you missed.

Learning the vocabulary

The deck Element Symbols and the quiz Chemical Symbols help you learn symbols such as C, O and Mg. The deck C1 - Elements and Compounds asks what an element consists of and how to tell one type of atom from another. Another deck covers prefixes such as mono- and dio-, as in carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Testing yourself

Quizzes range from short checks to exam-style questions. Mixtures Quiz asks you to spot chemical changes and think about what happens when salt dissolves in water. Chemistry - C1 AQA quick quiz is a fast test of atoms and elements. The quiz 0654 Topic C3 Atoms. Elements & Compounds Quiz uses diagrams, such as the structure of a lithium atom. Do a quiz after the map, then use the wrong answers to pick your next deck.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Matter and Its Properties strand of Chemistry. The mind map Carbon Dioxide shows how one compound links to wider ideas, such as its place in the air and how it is made. Choose a resource that matches your stage and see how far you get; teachers can set any of them as ready-made practice.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Elements, compounds and mixtures for an overview, or the flashcard deck Elements, Compounds and Mixtures if you want the definitions straight away. Both introduce what an element, a compound and a mixture are before you move on to the quizzes.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover atoms and elements, compounds, pure substances and mixtures, homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, solutions, and separation techniques. Some focus on one substance, such as Carbon Dioxide. With over 600 mind maps, you can compare several layouts of the same topic and choose the one that makes sense.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. The resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself.

Which exams and levels do these resources suit?

Nearly all of the material is secondary level. The listed resources mention GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry, A-level Chemistry and KS3 Science, so school students will find the closest match there. Teachers can use the same items as ready-made starters or revision tasks.

How many quizzes are there for this unit?

There are more than 70 quizzes. Some are quick checks, such as Mixtures Quiz and Chemical Symbols, while others are longer or follow exam-board style, such as Chemistry - C1 AQA quick quiz. Try a short one first, then move to a longer one.

What if I can't find exactly what I need?

Browse the other formats on the page, since the same idea often appears as a map, a deck and a quiz. You can also make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz with a free account, using the listed resources as a guide.
