Atoms Molecules

 An atom is smallest particle in an  Molecules are formed by the

element that has the properties of
the element
 It is not possible to breakdown the
atom further retaining the properties
of the element.
 An atom has a nucleus surrounded
by electrons. Depending on the
majority of the particles, the atom
can be positively or negatively
charged.
 Atoms are highly reactive and can
participate in chemical reaction.
 An atom is not stable by itself.
Atoms vs Molecules
combination of two or more atoms.
 Unlike atoms, molecules can be
subdivided to individual atoms.
 In a molecule, atoms are bonded
together by single, double, or triple
bonds.
 Molecules always exist
independently.
 They cannot participate in chemical
reaction for they are less reactive.
 Molecules are always in motion.

Elements, Compounds and Mixtures

An element is the fundamental substance that consists of only one type of atom.
Elements consist of smaller particles and can be man-made or synthetic. Their
arrangement in the periodic table is based on the number of protons in an increasing
order.

Substances, which are made by the combination of two or more kinds of elements are
called compounds. The atoms in a compound are chemically bonded and hence
cannot be separated easily.

A mixture is a substance made by the physical combination of two or more different

elements or compounds. It can be classified into 6 different categories – homogenous,
heterogeneous, solutions, alloys, suspensions, and colloids.

Draw a smiley face if the statement is true otherwise, draw a sad face if the statement
is wrong and change the underlined word. Write correct word on the space beside the
the faces. If the statement is correct, no need to write the new word.

Statement

It is possible to breakdown the atom

further retaining the properties of the
element.

Elements are made up of only one atom

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in

which the composition is not uniform
throughout the mixture

Mixtures have different properties as the

substances making it up.

Examples of common alloys:

Steel, Bronze, Brass

Lothar Meyer compiled a periodic table of 56

elements based on a regular repeating
pattern of physical properties such as molar
volume.

A mixture is a substance made by the

physical combination of two or more different
elements or compounds

All of the elements are naturally occurring
