1.What is an Element?Each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e. the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
2.Are all elements of the same?Yes, all things are made of atoms, and all atoms are made of the same three basic particles - protons, neutrons, and electrons. But, all atoms are not the same. ... The difference in the number of protons and neutrons in atoms account for many of the different properties of elements.
3.Elements are a substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance.An element is any substance made up entirely of one particular type of atom – the basic building blocks of stuff. We know that elements have three ingredients: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These are some of the tiniest particles in nature.
4.How to make a element:To recap, in order for combustion (chemical reaction of fire) to take place you need three elements to work together. These elements are fuel, heat and oxygen. These three elements make up the fire triangle.
Great post Aleki, I really enjoyed our Periodic Table lesson. I enjoyed the Build an Atom Game: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/build-an-atom
ReplyDeleteGreat work,you created a nice summary of important facts.
