Mixtures
Warm Up Activity
This picture show the atoms that are
present in the air.
1.
An Atom
3 Atoms
What do we call
these things?
6 Atoms which
happen to be of 3
different elements
What do we call
these things?
A Molecule
2 molecules of a
compound
What about when
all the atoms are
stuck together like
in a solid element?
This is just a load
of atoms in a solid
element, it is not a
big molecule
Finally, just to confuse you even
more, science teachers like talking
about
Particles
A particle is just a fancy name for
individual things. These individual
things could be atoms, molecules,
lumps of soil, grains of sand, or bits of
metal. It doesn’t matter because
particle is just a general word which is
used when we don’t (or can’t) want to
be exact about the type of things being
described.
Air is a mixture of elements such as
oxygen, argon and nitrogen mixed with
compounds such as carbon dioxide, or
you can say that air is a mixture of
particles.
Some of the elements in air go
around as single atoms (such as
argon).
Compounds go around as
molecules.
Since there is just one atom,
Ar
you would write: Ar
If there’s just one
atom, don’t put a
number after it!
O
Since there are two atoms of O
the same element, you would
write O2 Since there’s 2
oxygen atoms,
you write a “2”
Since there are different after the O
H
elements, you would list both: O
H2O.
H
One Element The Same
(Gas) Element
(Solid)
Notice there
are two
different types Notice in a
of atoms mixture the
joined all the
together. molecules
That’s what are not the

Element compound and mixture
Element : a substance which is made
from one kind of atoms
Compound : a substance which is
made from two or more kinds of
atoms
Mixture : a substance that contains
two or more substance that are not
combined chemically

The periodic table
All the elements on the periodic table
are arranged depending on the
number of electrons on each element
