Compounds
Compound: a substance made up of atoms of different elements joined together (involves a chemical change)
Example: *There is no atom of water.*Two atoms of hydrogen join with one atom of oxygen. (chemical bond)*The smallest unit of water is called a molecule.
Chemical Formula: the arrangement of symbols and numbers that describe a compound
Example: H2O H = Hydrogen How many atoms of hydrogen? 2 atoms of hydrogen
O = OxygenIf there is no number behind the element symbol, there is just one atom of that element.
Therefore, there is only 1 atom of oxygen in H20.
NaCl How many elements? 2 Name of elements Sodium, chlorine Atoms of each element Na = 1 Cl = 1 Total # of atoms 2 Name of compound Table Salt
