Aluminum, Al Matter can be composed of an element, a compound, or a mixture. Element – a pure substance made of one type of atom, and it cannot be broken down.
There are 109 elements. What makes one element different from another element?
96% of the mass of a human is made of only 4 elements – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.
oxygen You are mostly composed of: carbon nitrogen hydrogen
Most elements do not exist alone. Elements combine to form compounds. Compound - a pure substance that is composed of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds. O HH
CO 2 is composed of __________________ and ___________________ joined by _______________ two atoms of oxygen one atom of carbon CARBON DIOXIDE chemical bonds. CO 2 C O O Chemical formula? Double bonds
NH 3 Ammonia is composed of ___________________ and ______________________ joined by _______________ three atoms of hydrogen one atom of nitrogen AMMONIA chemical bonds. NH H H Chemical formula?
O HH Water, H 2 O Chemical bond The elements that make up a compound are held together by chemical bonds. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two atoms.
There are two types of chemical bonds: (1)Covalent bond – chemical bond between atoms in which electrons are shared. Covalent bond O H H
There are two types of chemical bonds: (2) Ionic bond – chemical bond between atoms in which electrons are transferred to other atom. Ionic bond Cl - Na +
ELEMENT One type of atom
COMPOUND Two or more different atoms chemically attached
Element or compound? compound element
