-are substances that

contain only ONE
1 or 2 kind of
atom.
-foundation of Pure

How are
elements
named?
Some elements like oxygen have symbols that are derived
directly from their English Names. Examples:
O-oxygen
N-nitrogen
 Symbols of elements that are
Derived from their Latin Names
Element Symbol Latin Name
Potassium K Kalium
Lead Pb Plumbum
Gold Au Aurum
Silver Ag Argentum
Sodium Na Natrium
• Some elements are named after famous scientists like
Einsteinium (Es)
• Countries, States and even planets show up as the
names of elements. Americium (Am), Californium (Cf)
and Plutonium(Pu)
 Elements are named based on
the names of Famous:
a. People
-Curium from scientist Pierre & Marie Curie,
and Einsteinium from Einstein.
b. Planets
-Uranium (Uranus)
c. Minerals
-Magnesium (magnesia)
d. Geographic location
-Germanium (Germany)*
How is the right
way to write the
symbol of an
element?
• Chemical elements have
abbreviations called ELEMENT
SYMBOLS.
• The first letter of an element symbol
is always capitalized. The second or
third letters if present are in
lowercase

USES OF ELEMENTS
1. Copper and aluminum wire are used to carry electric current.

2. Gold and silver metals are used to make jewelries

3. Mercury is used in thermometers.

Silicon(Si) or Compound
is present in the sun in
and
stars and is a principal component of a
classyour NB)
of meteorites.
 Salt(NaCl) is actually a mineral,
not a spice. Therefore, it does not
lose its flavor over time like spices
and herbs do.
Diamond is the hardest natural
material known and is often used for
industrial cutting and polishing
tools.
It is used in barometers and
manometers and thermometers
because it has a high rate of
thermal expansion that is fairly
constant over a wide temperature
range.
 Baking soda is a white crystalline
powder (NaHCO3) better known to
chemists as sodium bicarbonate,
bicarbonate of soda, sodium
hydrogen carbonate, or sodium acid
