課程筆記

Elements

  • An element is made from only one type of atom.
  • There are over 100 known elements, listed on the periodic table.
  • Examples: argon (monatomic gas – single atoms not joined), oxygen (diatomic gas – two atoms chemically joined).

Compounds

  • A compound is a substance where two or more different atoms are chemically joined.
  • Example: carbon dioxide contains carbon and oxygen atoms bonded together.
  • Compounds have different properties from their constituent elements.

Mixtures

  • A mixture contains two or more elements or compounds that are not chemically joined.
  • Components can be separated by physical methods.
  • Examples: nitrogen gas mixed with oxygen gas (mixture of elements); carbon dioxide mixed with carbon monoxide (mixture of compounds).

A magnet separates iron from sulfur because iron is magnetic and sulfur is not. The substances in a mixture are not chemically joined.

A magnet separates iron from sulfur because iron is magnetic and sulfur is not. The substances in a mixture are not chemically joined.

Key Differences

  • Element vs compound: element has one type of atom; compound has two or more types chemically joined.
  • Compound vs mixture: in a compound, atoms are chemically bonded; in a mixture, substances are not chemically joined and can be separated physically.
  • A mixture can contain elements, compounds, or both.

Identifying Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures from Diagrams

  • Element: only one type of atom (same colour/size spheres).
  • Compound: two or more different atoms chemically joined (different spheres bonded together).
  • Mixture: two or more different atoms or molecules not bonded (different spheres or groups mixed but not joined).

Atoms, molecules, compounds and mixtures represented as particle diagrams.

Atoms, molecules, compounds and mixtures represented as particle diagrams.

Examples of Elements and Compounds

  • Elements: iron, nitrogen, oxygen, aluminium.
  • Compounds: iron oxide (iron + oxygen), carbon dioxide (carbon + oxygen), hydrochloric acid (hydrogen + chlorine), water (hydrogen + oxygen).

Atomic structure of oxygen (element). Two oxygen atoms bond to form O₂ (diatomic element).

O — Bohr model (2,6)8p8n

Atomic structure of argon (monatomic element).

Ar — Bohr model (2,8,8)18p22n
