Periodic Table: Elements are organized in the periodic table, which shows
their symbols, atomic numbers, and properties. Examples include hydrogen
(H), oxygen (O), and carbon (C).
An element consists of only one kind of atom.
Element can exist as atoms or molecules.
Molecules : Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together. They
can consist of the same type of atom (like O₂) or different types (like
H₂O).
Types of Molecules:
Diatomic Molecules: Composed of two atoms (e.g., O₂).
Compound Molecules: Made of different elements (e.g., H₂O).
Compounds : A compound is a substance made up of two or more different
elements that are chemically bonded together.
Formation of Compounds :
Chemical Bonds: Compounds are formed through chemical bonds there are 2
types of chemical bond
a) Ionic Bonds: Occur when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
This typically happens between metals and nonmetals (e.g., sodium chloride,
NaCl).
b) Covalent Bonds: Formed when atoms share electrons, usually between
nonmetals (e.g., water, H₂O).
