This document defines key terms related to atoms, molecules, ions, and compounds. It explains that atoms are the smallest particles that make up elements, and when atoms split they form a different element. It also describes the three main particle types in substances - atoms, molecules, and ions - and how ions become charged. Finally, it provides the symbols for common elements and defines compounds, mixtures, and molecules.

What happens when an atom splits? It becomes a different element
3 Types of Particles in Substances Atoms, Molecules, Ions Ions Atoms or molecules that are electrically charged How do ions become charged? By losing or gaining electrons Atomic Theory of Matter The idea that matter is made up of atoms Symbol of Hydrogen H Symbol of Oxygen O Symbol of Copper Cu Symbol of Iron Fe Symbol of Gold Au Compound Substance that contains atoms of two or more elements chemically joined together Mixture Substance that contains two elements mixed together but not chemically Melting Points of Pure Substances are Fixed Melting Points of Mixtures are Over a Range of Temperatures Molecule Smallest particle that can be independent A molecule is made of Several atoms of the same element Molecular Formula The number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
