Elements & Compounds: Done By: Joe Sarkis. Zaid Abdo. Majed Ayman. Mohammed Abdel Malik

The document discusses elements and compounds. It defines an element as being made of only one type of atom, while a compound results from a combination of two or more elements whose atoms are bonded together. It provides examples of elements like hydrogen and isotopes, and notes there are currently 118 known elements arranged in the periodic table. Compounds are described as having bonds between their constituent elements' atoms that make them difficult to separate, unlike a mixture where no bonds form.

Elements
 An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom.
 For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing a
single proton and a single electron.
 If you change the number of protons an atom has, you change the type
of element it is.
 If you had very, very good eyes and could look at the atoms in a sample
of hydrogen, you would notice that most of the hydrogen atoms would
have no neutrons, some of them would have one neutron and a few of
them would have two neutrons.
 These different versions of hydrogen are called isotopes.
 All isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons, but have
a different number of neutrons.
 If you change the number of neutrons an atom has, you make an isotope of that
element.
 Currently, scientists know of 118 different elements.
 Some, like gold, silver, copper and carbon, have been known for thousands of
years.
 hers, such as meitnerium, darmstadtium and ununquadium, have only recently
been created by scientists.
 All known elements are arranged on a chart called the Periodic Table of
Elements.
Compounds
 a compound is a substance that results from a combination of two or more
different chemical elements, in such a way that the atoms of the different
elements are held together by chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
 These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among the
atoms. The smallest unbreakable unit of a compound is called a molecule.
 A compound differs from a mixture, in which bonding among the atoms of the
constituent substances does not occur.
 In some situations, different elements react with each other when they are mixed,
forming bonds among the atoms and thereby producing molecules of a
compound.
 In other scenarios, different elements can be mixed and no reaction occurs, so
the elements retain their individual identities.
 Sometimes, when elements are mixed, the reaction occurs slowly (as when iron
is exposed to oxygen); in other cases it takes place rapidly (as when lithium is
exposed to oxygen).
 Sometimes, when an element is exposed to a compound, a reaction occurs in
which new compounds are formed (as when pure elemental sodium is
immersed in liquid water).
 Often, a compound looks and behaves nothing like any of the elements that
comprise it. Consider, for example, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).
