Elements, compounds and mixtures

Chapter 10(Chemistry)Part 1

Pure Substances• A sample of matter that has definite

chemical and physical properties.

Elements Atoms

CompoundsMolecules

Elements• pure substance that cannot be separated into

simpler substance by physical or chemical means.

Mixtures• A combination of two or more pure substances that

are not chemically combined.• substances held together by physical forces, not

chemical • No chemical change takes place • Each item retains its properties

in the mixture • They can be separated physically

CompoundsPure substance composed of two or

more different elements joined by chemical bonds.

– Made of elements in a specific ratio that is always the same– Has a chemical formula– Can only be separated by chemical means, not physically

H2O

CO2

NaCl

Can you identify the following?

You will be shown a series of photos. Tell if each photo represents an item composed of an element, compound, or mixture.

Review:• An element contains just one type of atom. • A compound contains two or more different atoms

joined together. • A mixture contains two or more different substances

that are only physically joined together, not chemically.– A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.

Chemical reactions and equations.- Chemists use equations to describe a chemical reaction.- The equations save time and space.- The simplest equations are word equations.

- Substances that take part in a reaction are called the reactants.- The substances formed as a result of the chemical reaction are called the

products.

- In an equation the reactants are written on the left-hand side of the equation and the products are written on the right-hand side.

- If there are two or more reactants or products in the equation they are linked together by (+) sign.

Chemical names- Chemists use equations to describe a chemical reaction.- The equations save time and space.- The simplest equations are word equations.

How are compounds named? Prefix or suffix

1st part Name of the1st elementEx. Carbon Iron Sodium

2nd part Name of 2nd element

If 2nd element is not joined to other elements Suffix -ide is usedEx. Iron + Sulphur Iron sulfide Sodium + Chlorine Sodium chloride

If the 2nd element is more that one atom Prefix di- (two) tri- (three)Ex. Carbon dioxide Sulphur dioxide

If 2 elements are joined to the 1st element 2nd name is a mixture of the 2 elementsEx. Sodium Hydroxide

If the 2nd elements is joined to oxygen atoms Suffix -ate is usedEx. Calcium carbonate Ferrous sulphate
