• Make the difference between « mixtures » and

« compounds ».
• Observe a reaction that produces a compounds from its
elements.
• Learn how to write word equations to represent chemical
reactions.

Difference between mixtures and compounds

• Atoms of elements bond tightly together to form compounds.

• The properties of the compound are completely different from
those of the elements that it is made from.

Example:
LE

• IRON is a metal, hard, coloured grey, strong, conducts heat and

electricity and magnetic.
• SULFUR is a non-metal, yellow, brittle, does not conduct heat or
electricity, and non-magnetic.
• IRON SULFIDE is the compounds that is formed when the
elements IRON and SULFUR are heated together and combine.
• IRON SULFIDE is non-magnetic and does not conduct heat or
electricity.

In chemistry, the law of definite proportion, sometimes called Proust's

law, or law of constant composition states that a given
chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed
ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of
preparation.

Though the periodic table has only 118 or so elements, there are
obviously more substances in nature than 118 pure elements. This is
because atoms can react with one another to form new substances
called compounds.

Formed when two or more atoms chemically bond together, the

resulting compound is unique both chemically and physically from its
parent atoms. 13
 Example:
• The element sodium is a silver-colored metal that reacts so violently
with water that flames are produced when sodium gets wet.
• The element chlorine is a greenish-colored gas that is so poisonous
that it was used as a weapon in World War I.

When chemically bonded together, these two dangerous substances form

the compound sodium chloride, a compound so safe that we eat it every
day - common table salt!

 Definitions of reactant and product

The substance(s) to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation are

called reactants. A reactant is a substance that is present at the start
of a chemical reaction.

The substance(s) to the right of the arrow are called products .

A product is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical
reaction.
