COMPOUNDS AND MIXTURES
What was an element? An element contains ONE KIND OF
ATOM.
One kind of atom only!
What was a compound? A compound is made of different atoms that
are CHEMICALLY BONDED together.
More than one kind of atom!
Examples of compounds?
Water
Examples of compounds?
Carbon dioxide
Examples of compounds?
NaCl
What if we have a mixture?
How would you define a mixture?
- A mixture contains different substances that are NOT BONDED together.
Examples of mixtures:
ALLOYS ARE MIXTURES as well… Mixture of two or more metals is called an alloy.
Stainless steel is an alloy: Fe 85%, Cr 14% , Ni 1%
Some uses: Domestic appliances, furnace parts, valves, nuclear reactors
Bronze is an alloy: Zn 85%, Sn 15%
Some uses: Weapons and tools, decorations
Solder is an alloy: Pb 67% , Sn 33%
Some uses: to hold other materials together
Brass is an alloy: Cu 60%, Zn 40%
Some uses: Jewellery, household items, doorknobs
Alloys are…
are harder are generally more resistant to chemicals than those of their component metals and
that is why they are industrially preferred.
What are the differences between mixtures and
compounds?
Formation of NaCl
Na
Cl2

The chemical changes are usually called as “chemical reactions.”
Physical vs. Chemical change
Physical Change Chemical Change
The material itself is the same before and after the change.
New substances are formed.
Usually easy to reverse. Usually difficult to reverse.
Examples: Phase changes -melting, freezing, condensing,sublimation-, breaking, crushing, cutting, and bending.
Examples: Burning, rusting,electrolysis, photosynthesis, explosions, respiration, rising of cakes, milk souring, cooking and food spoiling.
