Elements and Compounds

1. The document discusses the differences between elements and compounds. Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom, while compounds are made of two or more different types of atoms combined in a specific ratio. 2. Examples are provided of common elements like copper, carbon, and silver as well as compounds like table sugar, salt, and water. 3. The last part describes a fictional scenario in 2032 where a new compound is discovered on Jupiter, and outlines the information that would need to be reported about the new compound, such as its name, properties, constituent elements, and atomic structure.

 Pure substance composed of two or more


different elements joined by chemical bonds.
 These chemical bonds can only be separated by
other chemicals. You can not physically pull, cut,
or tear a compound apart.

Compound Discovery
It is the year 2032 and you and a partner have just been asked to join NASA
on a trip to Jupiter. On this trip, your team discovered a brand new
compound that no one has ever seen. Upon further investigation, you also
noticed the compound was made up of elements commonly found on the
periodic table and ones that have also never been seen. To introduce the
world to the new compound, you need to chart the following information:

 Name of Compound
 Colored Picture of the discovered compound
 Description of the physical and chemical properties of the compound
 List of all of the elements that are bonded together to make up the
compound (minimum of 2, real or made up)
 Atomic #, Atomic Mass, Protons, Neutrons and Electrons written out
for each element
 Atomic Drawing of the compound. Showing how each element bonds
to the other (Protons, Neutrons and Electrons) (Each Element
wants 8 electrons in their outer roadway, so they may share
electrons/Bond)
