ATOMS, ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS

Everything is made up of atoms. They are like tiny building


blocks which are too small to be seen with a microscope.
Elements are substances made up of one type of atom only.
For example, lead and gold are types of elements. However, lead
contains lead atoms only and gold contains gold atoms only.
Now, a compound is a substance that contains 2 or more
different atoms/elements chemically bonded together.
THE PERIODIC TABLE
The periodic table was created by a scientist named Dmitri Mendeleev. It contains all the
elements that have been discovered.
