Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
Classifying Matter
Pure Substances
 A sample of matter in which every piece is exactly the same
down to the molecular level
Elements
 pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler
substance AT ALL!
Compounds
Pure substance composed of two or more elements joined by
chemical bonds.
 Made of elements in a specific ratio
that is always the same
 Has a chemical formula
Types of bonds
 There are two main types of bonds between atoms
Ionic bond:
 Bond between two atoms that transfer electrons
 The bond between a metal and a non-metal
 Creates ions (charged atoms) to be formed
Ionic bond – electron from Na is transferred to Cl, this
causes a charge imbalance in each atom. The Na becomes
(Na+) and the Cl becomes (Cl-), charged particles or ions.
Covalent bond:
 The attraction that forms between
atoms when they share electrons.
 Bond between two non-metals
Compounds
Pure substance composed of two or more elements joined by
chemical bonds.
 Can only be separated by
chemical reaction, not physically
Compounds
 Properties are different than the elements they are made
from
 Example:
Mixtures
 A combination of two or more pure substances that are not
chemically combined.
 Each item keeps its original properties
in the mixture
 They can be separated physically

Homogeneous Mixtures
 Molecules are mixed up in an even distribution
Solutions
 A mixture that appears to be a single substance (smallest size
particles)
 Solute- the substance being dissolved
 Solvent- the substance in which the solute is being dissolved
 Water is considered the universal solvent, it will dissolve
more substances than any other in the world
 Examples: sugar water, lemonade, Kool-Aid, soda, air
Heterogeneous Mixture
 Molecules are not mixed up in an even distribution
Mixtures vs. Compounds

Can you identify the following?
You will be shown a series of photos. Tell if each photo
represents an item composed of an element, compound, or
mixture.
Review:
 An element contains just one type of atom.
 A compound contains two or more different atoms joined
together.
 A mixture contains two or more different substances that
are only physically joined together, not chemically.
 A mixture can contain both elements and compounds.
