Topic 1 Topic 1 Pure substance or a mixture?
3
Two Types of Substances One type of pure substance can be broken down into simpler substances. This type of substance is called a compound. Another type of substance cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Such a substance is called an element. Topic 1 Topic 1 All the substances of the universe are either elements, compounds formed from elements, or mixtures of elements and compounds.
4
Two Types of Substances Of the known elements, only about 90 occur naturally on Earth. The remainder are synthesized, usually in barely detectable amounts, in high-energy nuclear experiments. Less than half of the 90 naturally occurring elements are abundant enough to play a significant role in the chemistry of everyday stuff. Topic 1 Topic 1
5
Organizing the Elements The periodic table organizes elements in a way that provides a wealth of chemical information—much more than is evident to you now. It shows the chemical symbols for the elements. Their symbols usually correspond to their names in Latin. Topic 1 Topic 1

7
Compounds Are More Than One Element A more complete definition is that a compound is a chemical combination of two or more different elements joined together in a fixed proportion with a unique set of chemical and physical properties. Topic 1 Topic 1 More than 10 million compounds are known and the number keeps growing.
8
Compounds Are More Than One Element Topic 1 Topic 1 Some new compounds are discovered and isolated from natural chemical sources such as plants and colonies of bacteria and are synthesized in laboratories for many different uses.
9
Compounds Are More Than One Element The properties of the compound are different from the properties of the elements that compose the compound. Topic 1 Topic 1 silver + bromine = silver bromide
10
Compounds Are More Than One Element A formula is a combination of the chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element. CompoundFormula CaffeineC 8 H 10 N 4 O 2 Topic 1 Topic 1
11
Compounds Are More Than One Element Formulas provide a shorthand way of describing a submicroscopic view of a compound. You probably already use formulas like H 2 O and CO 2 as a way of talking about water and carbon dioxide. Topic 1 Topic 1
