What are the building blocks of matter
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like71 views
This document discusses the basic units that make up all matter: atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, mixtures and solutions. It defines each term and provides examples. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that cannot be divided further. Molecules are made of two or more atoms combined together. Matter is made up of elements, compounds, mixtures and solutions. Elements are molecules made of the same type of atom, while compounds are molecules made of two or more different types of atoms combined chemically. The document then gives examples of common molecules and compounds like methane, oxygen gas, and ammonia to illustrate the concepts.

What are the building blocks of matter
- 1. Atoms, Molecules, Elements, Compounds, Mixtures & Solutions!
- 2. •ATOM The smallest building unit of matter which can’t be divided.
- 3. •MOLECULE Made from more than one atom combined together.
- 5. •Matter is divided into 4 groups *ELEMENTS *COMPOUNDS *MIXTURES *SOLUTIONS
- 6. •ELEMENT Its molecule is made of the same type of atom combined together.
- 7. •COMPOUND A kind of matter made of a chemical combination of two or more types of atoms. Every compound has a formula that shows how many atoms of each element are in the compound. For example, H2O

- 14. •What is the difference between a compound and a molecule? • A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. • A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different types of atoms. • All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.
