Elements, compounds and mixtures Chapter 10 (Chemistry ) Part 1
Pure Substances A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties. Elements Atoms Compounds Molecules
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 Chem4kids.com
Compounds Pure 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 H 2 O CO 2 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 1 st part Name of the1st element Ex. Carbon Iron Sodium 2 nd part Name of 2 nd element If 2 nd element is not joined to other elements Suffix -ide is used Ex. Iron + Sulphur Iron sulfide Sodium + Chlorine Sodium chloride If the 2 nd element is more that one atom Prefix di- (two) tri- (three) Ex. Carbon dioxide Sulphur dioxide If 2 elements are joined to the 1 st element 2 nd name is a mixture of the 2 elements Ex. Sodium Hydroxide If the 2 nd elements is joined to oxygen atoms Suffix -ate is used Ex. Calcium carbonate Ferrous sulphate
