Elements are substances that cannot be further
separated into simpler substances by either
physical or chemical means. They are only made
up of one type of an atom.

Compounds are also pure substances but
what makes them different from elements is
that they are made up of two or more
elements which are chemically combined
•  Water (H2O) – No explanation is needed as
to how important water is in our life. Basically,
water is something that could help us survive
even if we don’t have anything else.
•  Sodium Chloride or Table Salt (NaCl) –
Salt is used not only in cooking, but in
cleaning as well. In fact, it is said that there
are more than 14,000 specific uses for salt all
in all.
•  Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate or Baking
Soda (NaHCO3) – Baking soda does not only
have benefits around the kitchen, but is also
used in beauty and health. It can be used as a
cleaning and whitening agent, and is a great
deodorizer as well.
•  Sucrose or Table Sugar (C12H22O11) –
Sucrose is used mainly in cooking and as a
sweetener.
•  Sodium Hypochlorite or Bleach
(NaClO) – Bleach is used as a stain remover,
disinfectant and deodorant. It is also used to
treat water and to reduce skin damage.
most popular being as a nail polish remover. It
is also a popular solvent and is used for other
domestic and laboratory processes.
• Methane (CH4) – Methane is a natural gas
that is used to refine crude oil. It is also used
as a reactant to produce other substances
such as chloromethanes and ammonia.
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – Carbon dioxide is
used in the content of fire extinguishers and in
the production of dry ice. It is also used in the
production of carbonated drinks.
• Citric Acid (C6H8O7) – An organic

compound, it is usually found in citrus fruits. It
is used for culinary and medicinal purposes.
• Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3) – Sodium nitrate
is used in the food and agriculture industry. It Compoun
is also the prime ingredient in fertilizers.
• Ammonia (NH3) – Ammonia reacts with

• Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) – This is used

as a germicidal agent and is the only one of
its kind that is composed of oxygen and water.

Project
It is an alternative to bleach and is a potent
disinfectant. It is also used in personal
hygiene products like mouthwash and
toothpaste, and is used to lighten hair. It is
also used to sanitize meat and other food
products.
