Introductory Message
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you
step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are
also provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on
how they can best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on
any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises
and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
Thank you.

Target
HEY! Look around you. Isn’t it amazing to see the beauty of the environment?
Did you know that everything that you see around is matter? Anything that occupies
space or has volume, and has mass is matter. Matter has two classifications:
substances and mixtures. Today, you will be learning about substances. In this
module, you will learn that substances maybe further classified into two: elements
and compounds.
After going through this module, you are expected to attain the following
objectives:

Substance
A substance is simply a pure form of matter, it has a specific composition and
properties. All substances are homogeneous. Substances may be classified into two:
Elements and Compounds.
Elements
Elements are made up of atom or atoms of the same kind (see figure 1). They
are the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler 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.
There are 118 known elements today. They are arranged systematically in the
Periodic Table of Elements (see figure 2). Every element has a name. In each box of
the table, you will find only one name (see the attached Periodic Table of Elements at
the end of this module) . One box corresponds to one element. Scientists agreed to
give symbols for each element. This is very helpful especially to those elements with
long names. Instead of writing the full names, a one-letter or two-letter symbol may
be used. You can find these symbols in the periodic table too. It is written inside the
same box for that element. For instance, O is the symbol for Oxygen, H for Hydrogen,
Fe for Iron. Elements that are in the same column have similar properties. For this,
each column is called a family. However, at this point, you will refer first to each
family with their corresponding group number. Notice that the columns are
numbered 1 to 18 from left to right. Most elements are Metals like Iron- Fe, Gold-
Au, and Silver- Ag . Others are Nonmetals like Nitrogen- N, Oxygen- O and Hydrogen-
H. There are also elements that are Metalloids like Boron- B, Silicon- Si and
Germanium- Ge. Most metals are ductile, malleable, hard, lustrous and good
conductors of heat and electricity. Most non-metals on the other hand are brittle,
and poor conductors of heat and electricity.

There are also many elements present in the food you eat —whether it is a
natural food like a banana which is rich in Potassium- K, or those processed like
banana chips, biscuits, milk, juice, etc. These are mostly nutrients which the human
body needs in order to function well. Some of these are Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc,
and Selenium.
Compounds

LU_Q1_Science 7_Module 2
Compounds can be broken down into its simpler components through a
chemical process, and formed when two elements are combined in definite
proportions. A compound has unique properties that are different from the properties
of the elements that make them up.
Compounds may be classified as: acids, bases, and salts. Some examples of
acids are Acetic acid in vinegar and Citric acid in fruit juices. The solution used for
cleaning toilet bowls and tiles is 10-12% Hydrochloric acid. It is commonly called
muriatic acid. Some examples of bases are Sodium hydroxide used in making soaps
and drain cleaners, Aluminum hydroxide used in antacids. There are many other
compounds around you like sugar, chalk, table salt, Carbon dioxide- CO2, Ferrous
sulfate, etc.
