1.1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds

• OBJECTIVES
• Define an atom, an element, a compound and a mixture.
• The first 20 elements in the periodic table, the elements in Groups 1 and 7
• Name compounds of these elements from given formulae or symbol equations

1.1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds

• An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist which can not be broken down any further. Everything in the universe is made up of atom.
• The radius of an atom is 0.1 nm (1 × 10 -10 m);0.1 nm (1 × 10 -10 m).

1.1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds

• An element is a substance that is made from only one type of atom. It cannot be broken down because there is nothing to break down.

• You can think you elements as identical twin, they are the same but conjoined together.

1.1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds

• Recognizing a element
• Each element starts with a capital letter, so to recognize an element you will only see a capital letter once (and might also be followed be a smaller case letter depending on the element name).
• Recognizing a compound
• With a compound you will see capital letter twice (which might be next to one and other or seperated by a number inbetween).
• LOOk AT THE EXAMPLES ABOVE.

1.1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds

• A mixture consists of two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together. The chemical properties of each substance in the mixture are unchanged.
