    Atoms are the smallest particles that make up all substances. Over 2000 years ago, Democritus proposed that if you kept dividing matter into smaller pieces, you would eventually be left with indivisible particles called atoms. Today, scientists can directly observe atoms using scanning tunneling microscopes. All substances are composed of one or more types of atoms. Atoms can be bonded together to form molecules, like oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2), or compounds containing different types of atoms, like water (H2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2). Mixtures are made up of substances that are not chemically bonded together, like salt water.

    L1: Atoms in everyday

    life
    W.A.L.T:
    - Explain how atoms and elements make up Starter:
    different particles. What are atoms?
    What are atoms?
    • Over 2000 years ago, a Greek philosopher called Democritus
    suggested that everything was made up of tiny pieces.
    Democritus suggested……….., ifIf you
    youcould
    couldkeep
    keep on
    on cutting
    cutting up
    up aa substance
    substance into
    smaller and smaller
    into smaller pieces,
    and smaller you would
    pieces, end up
    you would endith
    aup
    very
    withsmall
    a very small piece that could not be cut
    piece
    up anythat could not
    more…….. be call
    I will cut up any‘atoms’
    these more. – that
    means indivisible! (Cannot be divided)

    We now know that atoms really do exist.


    Today we can even see large kinds atoms,
    using special microscopes called scanning
    tunnelling microscopes.

    The photograph shows the atoms in


    some carbon nanotubes.
    (Nano means ‘very, very small’.)
    All substances are made of atoms
    All substances are made of very tiny particles called atoms.
    Many substances are made up of different types of atoms.

    hydrogen and carbon and


    oxygen atoms hydrogen atoms

    iron, aluminium, carbon, nitrogen,


    silicon, oxygen and hydrogen, oxygen and
    boron atoms sulphur atoms
    Different types of particles
    • An atom is the simplest • A molecule is a group of
    type of particle that is atoms bonded together.
    the building block of e.g. O2, or CO2
    substances.
    • An element is a
    substance made of one • A compound is a
    type of atom. substance with 2 or
    They are all found in more different atoms
    the Periodic table e.g. C bonded together. e.g CO2
    (Carbon), Cu (Copper), Au or H2O
    (Gold)
    • A mixture is made up of 2 or more
    substances that are NOT bonded. e.g. salty
    water.
