WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? ATOMS, MOLECULES, ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS Different types of particles: atoms and molecules = atoms are the smallest particles into which matter can be broken down = molecules contain two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds Different types of substances: mixtures and pure substances = mixtures are impure substances — they have two or more different types of particles, which can be separated using physical separation techniques (e.g. fitration etc.) as they are not chemically bonded together = pure substances contain only one type of particle — as their particles are all identical, they can't be separated into simpler substances using physical techniques. Different types of pure substances: elements and compounds = an element is the simplest type of substance, containing one type of atom only = a compound contains two or more types of atom, as it is made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together — to separate it into its component elements, chemical processes must be used to break these bonds. Particles of elements and compounds: = an element's particles can be either single atoms, or molecules containing identical atoms (e.g. oxygen molecules, O,) = compounds are never made up of single atoms — their molecules contain atoms of the component elements bonded together in the same proportion, shown by its formula (e.g. water molecules contain 2 hydrogen atoms bonded to 1 oxygen atom, ‘shown by the formula H,0), Exercises 1) Cross out the incorrect choices to make true statements to complete the summary chart: CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES MIXTURES PURE SUBSTANCES + Particles same/different + Particles same/different +Can/ean't be separated by -Can/ean't be separated by physical process physical process ELEMENTS: ‘COMPOUNDS. + Particles same/different + Particles same/different = Can/can’t be separated by =Can/cantt be soparated by chemical process chemical process WHA THE DIFFERENCE CT eke | 2) Complete the following summary table: CCL ra Cicer fut npeM Ce LY reir substance aah Bruty Pere Posincre element compound mixture - 3) Identity the type of substance and type of particle shown in each diagram: Peron) Element or compound?
