Characteristics of Elements
1 and Compounds
What’s In
Hello, my dear friend! You are already done in identifying substances such as
homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures. I know it is hard to distinguish substances
based on their appearances but do not worry! There are many ways to identify them
because these substances may be classified as elements and compounds. Elements
have unique properties and characteristics from the others.
Read the poem and pick out all the elements and compounds mentioned in it.

What is It
Elements and Compounds are all around us. Elements are made up of atom
or atoms of the same kind. They are the simplest type of matter and cannot be
broken down into components. Each element is made entirely from one type of
atom. Each element is unique, and no two elements have the same set of
properties. Some are in the same state, but they have different properties. Some
elements are metals like iron, gold, and silver. Others are nonmetals like Nitrogen,
Oxygen and Hydrogen. There are elements that are metalloids like Boron, Silicon
and Germanium. Compounds are combination of two or more elements like water
which is a combination of Hydrogen and Oxygen; salt which is made up of sodium
and chlorine; and rusts formed when an iron reacts with oxygen. Compounds can
be broken down into its components through a chemical process and formed when
two elements are combined. It has unique properties that are different from the
properties of the elements that make them up.

What’s In
Hello! My dear friend! I hope that everything is fine after answering all your
activity. You are already done in describing the characteristics of an element and
compound. I know you feel a little bit hard in identifying the elements in each
compound, but you did it. Elements are composed of one atom while compounds are
composed of two or more elements. Elements have unique properties and
characteristics from the others.

Lesson
Classifying Substances as
3 Elements and Compounds
What’s In
Hello! I hope you learned the differences between the elements and
compounds? Compound can be broken down into simplest forms which are its
constituent elements. In this lesson you will simply classify elements from
compounds. You will focus only on the classification of substances as elements or
compounds.

You entered in your laboratory room for a science class. Your teacher
instructed you to roam around and familiarize what are inside your laboratory
room. To your surprised, you have seen a hanging cabinet full of substances. You
observed for a while on it. Your teacher called the attention of the class to be
seated. She asked any volunteer of what you have observed. After which, she
posted your lesson and it is all about classifying elements and compounds. While
on your seat, you remembered the materials found on the cabinet.
Activity 1
Which are Elements? Which are Compounds?
Directions: Inside the box are the substances that are found in the cabinet.
Identify the elements and compounds by accomplishing the table below.
ELEMENTS COMPOUNDS

What is It
The activity above helped you to think your prior knowledge on lesson 1 and
lesson 2. It is easy right? Well, it is important to note that elements are single
substance. You can easily see them in the periodic table. In the list above, iron is
an element because it is a single substance with one atom and is present in the
periodic table. Sodium chloride is a compound because it is a combination of two
elements namely sodium and chlorine with 2 or more atoms. Therefore, an element
cannot be broken anymore while compound it can be broken to its constituent
elements.

Elements and compounds are also present in the food you eat. They can be
seen and read on the food labels known as nutrition facts and ingredients. Take a
look on the sample food labels below.
Yes, it is still easy. Some of these are calcium, monosodium glutamate and
ferrous sulfate. The calcium is the element while the two substances are
compounds. The constituent elements of monosodium glutamate are sodium,
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen while ferrous sulfate is: Iron, sulfur and
oxygen.
