(bonding is used to describe atoms joining very tightly to one
another).

You are required to rule

a vertical line through
about five horizontal
lines in your notebook.
Tag one of them ‘’ An
element, and the other
a compound. Then,
distribute appropriately
the formulae in the

 A mixture of iron and sulfur

Note that a mixture contains two

or more substances that can be
separated through a physical
means.

When iron and sulfur are heated

together, iron atoms and sulfur
atoms bond together to form the
compound iron sulfide – a
compound which is neither iron nor
sulfur, but something, completely
new.
