Atoms, Elements,
Molecules & Compounds
.
All substances are made of atomsAll substances are made of very tiny particles called atoms.
hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
atoms
carbon (C) and hydrogen (H)
atoms
Carbon (C), nitrogen (N),
hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and
sulphur (S) atoms
Iron (Fe), aluminium (Al),
silicon (Si), oxygen (O) and boron (B) atoms
Many substances are made up of different types of atoms.
An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom.
Atoms in elements
Copper (Cu) is an element made up of copper atoms only.
Carbon (C) is an element made up ofcarbon atoms only.
Helium (He) is an element made up ofhelium atoms only.
There are about one hundred Elements that form all substances.
How to write symbols for
elementsTwo important rules should be followed when writing the
symbols of elements so that there is no confusion.
1. The first letter of an element’s symbol is always
a capital letter.
2. If there are two letters in the element’s symbol,
the second letter is always a small letter.
e.g. N (not n) for nitrogen
e.g. Co for cobalt (not CO)
No, Watson! It was carbon monoxide
poisoning – not cobalt.
The symbol for many of the more common elements uses
just the first letter of the name.
Symbols of elementsA standard set of symbols is used to represent elements:
hydrogenH =carbonC =fluorineF =
oxygenO =nitrogenN =
Others elements have
the first two letters.
lithiumLi =aluminiumAl =heliumHe =
Some of the symbols are not
always as you might expect.
leadPb =goldAu =silverAg =
iodineI =
Molecules
A molecule is formed of a group of 2 atoms or more of the
same element that are joined together.
Eg. H2, O2, N2, Cl2, Br2
An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom.
Eg. H, O, N, Cl, Br
Oxygen is an
element made up of
oxygen atoms only.
Q. How many atoms
are there in an
oxygen molecule?
Compounds
Q. How many atoms
are there in a water
molecule?
A compound is formed of a group of different elements that
are joined together.
Eg. H2O, CO2, NH3
Q. How many elements
are there in a water
molecule?
Molecules versus Compounds
All compounds are molecules but not all
molecules are compounds.
Molecular hydrogen (H2), molecular oxygen (O2) and
molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each
is composed of a single element. Water (H2O), carbon
dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are compounds because
each is made from more than one element.
Q. Which is a molecule and which is a compound?
NaCl, H2SO4, Cl2,

Electropositive elements
are the elements which have tendency to
lose electrons. e.g. Metals (Na, K, Al, Mg)
Electronegative elements are
those which have tendency to attract the
electrons of the bond. e.g. Non metals
(Cl, Br, I)
In the periodic table from left to right
Electropositivity decreases
Electronegativity increases upto group

There are three major states of matter: solid,
liquid, and gas.
Solid: is something that has a definite shape and
volume.
Liquid: has a definite volume but takes the
shape of its container.
Gas: takes the shape of its container and it
expands to fill the entire container.
States of matter
A molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a
definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds
H2 H2O NH3 CH4
A diatomic molecule contains only two atoms
H2, N2, O2, Br2, HCl, CO
A polyatomic molecule contains more than two atoms
O3, H2O, NH3, CH4
2.5
An ion is an atom, or group of atoms, that has a net
positive or negative charge.
cation : is an ion with a positive charge (+ve)
If a neutral atom loses one or more electrons
it becomes a cation.
Anion: is an ion with a negative charge (-ve)
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons
it becomes an anion.
Na11 protons
11 electrons Na+ 11 protons

Cl17 protons
17 electrons Cl-17 protons

A polyatomic ion contains more than one atom

Molecular formula: it shows the exact number of
atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a
substance
Empirical formula: it shows the simplest
whole-number ratio of the atoms in a substance

Ionic compounds consist of a cation (+ve) and an
anion (-ve)
• the formula is always the same as the empirical formula
• the sum of the charges on the cations and anions in each
formula unit must be equal zero

Chemical Nomenclature
• Ionic Compounds
– often a metal + nonmetal
– anion (nonmetal), add “ide” to element name

K2O potassium oxide
Mg(OH)2 magnesium hydroxide
KNO3 potassium nitrate

• Transition metal ionic compounds
– indicate charge on metal with Roman numerals
FeCl2 2 Cl- -2 so Fe is +2 iron(II) chloride
FeCl3 3 Cl- -3 so Fe is +3 iron(III) chloride
Cr2S3 3 S-2 -6 so Cr is +3 chromium(III) sulfide
