Lesson 5: Difference Between Elements and Compounds

Brief Introduction
An element is a pure chemical substance made of the same type of atom
and an element is represented using symbols. A compound contains atoms of
different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio and is
represented using its chemical formula that represents the symbols
of its constituent elements and the number of atoms of each element in one
molecule of the compound.

Objective

At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to:

1. differentiate elements from compounds based on their composition from
the given chemical names and formulas of elements and compounds.

Let’s Recall

Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if incorrect. Use a

separate answer sheet for this.
FALSE
____________1. Compound is a pure substance that is made of the same type
of atom.
TRUE
____________2. Element is represented using symbols.
FALSE
____________3. In compounds, it contains atoms of different elements
physically combined
TRUE
____________4. Compound is represented using its chemical formula that
represents the symbol of its constituent elements and the
number atoms of each element molecule of the compound.
TRUE
____________5. Symbols are for elements as chemical formulas are for
compounds.

 Let’s Understand

A pure substance has a constant composition and cannot be

separated into simpler substances. There are two main types of
pure substances, elements, and compounds.

Lesson 6: History and Bases of Naming Elements

Brief Introduction
Elements have been discovered by several scientists and
identified its properties and characteristics. Moreover, these elements
have been named from various sources: sometimes based on the person
who discovered it, or the place it was discovered. Some have Latin or
Greek roots deriving from something related to the element, for
example some use to which it may have been put or from mythological
concepts or character.

Objective

At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to:

1.describe briefly the history and basis of naming elements.

Let’s Recall (Review)

Arrange the jumbled letters to form the correct word/s. Write your
answer on a separate answer sheet.

1. O S R E N P - PERSON

History of Periodic Table

Year Development
1969 German merchant and amateur alchemist Hennig Brand attempted to
create a Philosopher’s Stone; an object that supposedly could turn
metals into pure gold. He heated residues from boiled urine, and a
liquid dropped out and burst into flames. This was the first discovery
of phosphorus.
1680 Robert Boyle also discovered phosphorus, and it became public.
1809 At least 47 elements were discovered, and scientists began to see
patterns in the characteristics.
1863 English chemist John Newlands divided the then discovered 56
elements into 11 groups, based on characteristics.
1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the
periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He
predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his
periodic table for them.
1886 French physicist Antoine Bequerel first discovered radioactivity.
Thomson’s student from New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford named the
three types of radiation: alpha, beta and gamma rays. Marie and Pierre
Curie started working on the radiation of uranium and thorium, and
subsequently discovered radium and polonium. They discovered that
beta particles were negatively charged.
1894 Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh discovered the noble gases,
which were added to the periodic table as group 0.
1897 English physicist J. J. Thomson first discovered electrons; small
negatively charged particles in an atom. John Townsend and Robert
Millikan determined their exact charge and mass.
1900 Bequerel discovered that electrons and beta particles as identified by
the Curies are the same thing.
1903 Rutherford announced that radioactivity is caused by the breakdown
of atoms.
1911 Rutherford and German physicist Hans Geiger discovered that
electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom.
1913 Bohr discovered that electrons move around a nucleus in discrete
energy called orbitals. Radiation is emitted during movement from
one orbital to another.
1914 Rutherford first identified protons in the atomic nucleus. He also
transmuted a nitrogen atom into an oxygen atom for the first time.
English physicist Henry Moseley provided atomic numbers, based on
the number of electrons in an atom, rather than based on atomic mass.

5
 1932 James Chadwick first discovered neutrons, and isotopes were
identified. This was the complete basis for the periodic table. In that
same year Englishman Cockroft and the Irishman Walton first split
an atom by bombarding lithium in a particle accelerator, changing it
to two helium nuclei.
1945 Glenn Seaborg identified lanthanides and actinides (atomic number
>92), which are usually placed below the periodic table.

Scientists decided to give symbols for each element to avoid writing the
full names, instead one or two-letter may be used. These chemical symbols and
their full name can be found in a periodic table of elements. You might observe
that most of the one-letter symbols are the first letters of these elements. For the
two-letter symbols, most of them start with the first letter of the element. Notice
that the second letter in the symbol may be any letter found in the element’s
name. Notice as well that only the first letter is capitalized for the two-letter
symbols.
At present, there are 118 elements. Each element has a different set of
properties. No two elements have the same set of properties. Elements are
classified into three which are Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, and nonmetals
are located on the upper right. They are separated by a staircase known as
metalloids. Look at the example of the Periodic Table below.

Figure 5 (sciencenotes.org)

6
 In the nineteenth century, Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the
periodictable, a table of elements which describes their structure.
Because elements have been discovered at various times and places, from
antiquity through the present day, their names have derived from several
languages and cultures.

These are the bases in naming the chemical elements.

1. Person who discovered the element. Example: Einsteinium (Es) named
after Albert Einstein
2. Place where the element was discovered. Example: Polonium (Po) named
after Poland
3. Latin or Greek roots deriving from something related to the element.
Examples: ferrum (iron, Fe), argentum (silver, Ag), hydrargyrum
(mercury, Hg) and plumbum (lead, Pb)
4. Mythological Concept or Character (including an astronomical object).
Examples: Earth – in the form of Tellurium (Te), Neptune in the form of
Neptunium (Np) and Uranus in the form of Uranium (U).
