Elements, Compounds & Mixtures Worksheet
Part 1: Read the following information on elements, compounds and mixtures. Fill in
the blanks where necessary.
Elements:
atom
A pure substance containing only one kind of ____________.
An element is always uniform all the way through (homogeneous).
An element _____________
Cannot be separated into simpler materials (except during
nuclear reactions).
Periodic table
Over 100 existing elements are listed and classified on the ____________________.
Compounds:
atoms
A pure substance containing two or more kinds of _______________.
The atoms are _________________
chemically combined in some way. Often times (but not
always) they come together to form groups of atoms called molecules.
A compound is always homogeneous (uniform).
cannot
Compounds ___________________ be separated by physical means. Separating a
compound requires a chemical reaction.
The properties of a compound are usually different than the properties of the
elements it contains.
Mixtures:
Two or more ________________
elements or _________________
compounds NOT chemically
combined.
No reaction between substances.
Mixtures can be uniform (called ________________________)
homogenous and are known as
solutions.
Mixtures can also be non-uniform (called ________________________).
heterogeneous
Mixtures can be separated into their components by chemical or physical means.
The properties of a mixture are similar to the properties of its components.
