Atoms • The basic component of all matter. • The atom is the smallest particle of an element that has all of the chemical properties of that element. • Atoms consist of a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons. http://www.ktf-split.hr/glossary/image/atom.gif
Elements • A substance consisting of a single type of atom. • It cannot be broken down into different kinds of matter. http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/handouts/helium.GIF http://www.rentrain.com/resources/Helium%20Safety.jpg
Combinations of Elements:Mixtures • A substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together. • Mixtures can usually be separated by mechanical means. • Two or more substances mixed together in such a way that each remains unchanged. http://www.seelecttea.com/
Combinations of Elements:Compounds • A substance formed from two or more elements, with a fixed ratio determining the composition. • The elements lose their individual chemical properties and the compound has new properties. http://www.awwu.biz
Molecules • Compound of two or more atoms, the smallest unit of chemical compounds. • The smallest particle of a substance that has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance. http://www.awwu.biz
