Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
Elements are pure substances of one atom type, compounds combine elements chemically, and mixtures combine substances without chemical bondi
Core concept
Elements are organised in the periodic table, each represented by a unique symbol, like Na for sodium or Cl for chlorine.
How it works
Compounds form in fixed ratios, like table salt (NaCl) always having equal parts sodium and chlorine atoms.
Why it matters
Mixtures can be separated using physical methods like filtration, distillation, or chromatography, since components aren't chemically bonded.
Key detail
Understanding these categories helps us classify substances and predict how they can be separated or combined.
