Elements The 88 naturally occurring elements are the “chemical alphabet” of all substances in the universe. Elements can not be broken down by chemical or physical means to simpler substances.
Compounds And Elements
Elements And Atoms An atom is the smallest part of an element that can enter into a chemical reaction grams of sodium contains 6.02 x atoms of sodium
Compounds and Molecules The molecule is the smallest part of a compound that still has the properties of that compound grams of NaCl (sodium chloride) contains 6.02 x molecules of NaCl
