Compounds and Mixtures EQ: Can I classify common substances as elements or compounds based on their symbols or formulas? SPI 0807.9.3
Ever Heard of Chemical Bonding?? HINT: Oxygen and Hydrogen undergo chemical bonding in order to become water!
Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms to form new substances. The properties of these new substances are different than the properties of the original elements. Example: H2O
For example, atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen combine in different patterns to form sugar and water. C6H12O6 H2O
When chemical bonds form, electrons are shared, gained, or lost.
Foldable
What’s an element again?? Element: One or more of the same atoms NOT bonded together.
Examples of Elements: Gold: Au Oxygen: O Silver: Ag Aluminum: Al
Remember that elements will be written with only ONE or TWO letters!! Au Ag Hg O Cl He N Al Na Mg H C B
What’s a Compound? Compound: A pure substance made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
Examples of compounds: Carbon Dioxide: CO2 Water: H2O
Elements combine by reacting (undergoing a chemical change).
What’s a Mixture? MIXTURE: A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded. No chemical change happens when a mixture is made! Most natural substances are mixtures.
Examples of Mixtures: Tossed salad A bowl of cereal Oil and vinegar
Pizza Trail Mix Halloween Candy
Mixtures can be separated!
