Brief Introduction Matter

Matter refers to anything Pure

Mixture
that has mass and occupies space. Substance

This means everything around us is

matter regardless of its shape and
size. .A kind of matter is considered
a substance if it is made up of one
kind of molecule. These substances
are either element or compound. An
element is composed of only one
type of atom. Examples are N, O,
and He. It is considered as the
simplest kind of matter and cannot
be changed into other substance by
ordinary means.
Elements Compounds
When two or more different elements combine
chemically in fixed proportion, a new substance
is formed called compound. Examples are NO3,
and CO2. It is represented by chemical formula
which tells us the symbols and number of atoms
of each element in its molecule. The components
of compounds can be separated by chemical
means.

Activity 1.1 Where Do I Belong?

Objective.
Compare and contrast elements and compounds
Directions:

1. Draw a Venn diagram in your answer sheet.

2. Choose phrases in the box that describe the element and write on the left circle
of the Venn diagram.
3. Choose phrases in the box that describe the compound and write on the right
circle of the Venn diagram.
4. Choose phrases that the element and compound have in common and write in the
intersection of the circle (overlapping area).

Remember
Pure substances are forms of matter that are made up of only one type of atom
or molecule and have a definite and unchanging composition. It can be an element or
compound.

Element is a pure substance composed of only one type of atom or molecule

which cannot be broken down into other substance through physical or chemical
means. It is written in abbreviation called element symbol. Atom is the basic unit of
element.

Periodic table is a tabular arrangement of elements by increasing atomic

number such that elements having similar chemical behavior are grouped in vertical
columns. At present, there 118 elements in the periodic table. Some of these elements
are present in the food we eat which the human body needs to function properly.

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) approves the

names of elements. The IUPAC guidelines in naming elements can be based on name 4 of
discoverer or scientist, mythological figures, astronomical objects, mineral or similar
substance, property of the element, and places or geographical region.

Compound is a pure substance that forms when two or more different elements
(or different atoms) combine chemically in fixed ratio. It can be broken down into simpler
substance by chemical means. The basic unit of compound is molecule.

Chemical formula is a representation that tells us the symbol and number of

atoms of each element present in a molecule of a compound.
