Lesson 1: Elements: History and Origin


Let us start you journey in learning more about
elements. I am sure you are ready and excited to
learn more. Smile and cheer up!

As mentioned in your Grade 6 Chemistry lesson,


matter is categorized as mixture and pure
substances. Water and gold are both pure
substances, but why is water made up of
molecule and gold is made up of an atom?

What is elements?
An element is a substance that is made up of one kind of atom only. It cannot be broken
down into simpler substances. Below is a Periodic Table of elements designed by Dmitri
Mendeleev, a Russian Chemist.
Hydrogen is an element with a hydrogen
atom. With a symbol H

Every elements is represented by a specific symbol. The most common symbol is


derived from the first letter or first two letters of the name. Symbols are written in a very
distinctive way, the first letter must always be a capital letter and the second letter is a
small letter. But some are derived from their ancient name, heavenly bodies, places on
earth, and name of scientists. The table below shows the name and symbol of some
elements and the origin of their name and symbols.

Looking Back

In lesson 1 you learned about elements and in Grade 6 Science you learned
about mixtures and substances.

Brief Introduction

What is compound?
A compound is a substance that is made up from more than one atom combined
chemically. Since compound can only be combined chemically it can only be separated
through chemical process also. When atoms combined their individual chemical
property also changes.

O H H
Oxygen atom 2 hydrogen atoms

When one oxygen atom chemically combines with two hydrogen atoms, they become a
compound called water.

O
H H

1 water molecule

Cl
combined with

One sodium atom one chlorine atom


Na Cl

Sodium chloride compound (table salt)

A compound can only be chemically decomposed to its atomic composition.

Ca Ca

Activity 2. Mix and Match

Draw a line between the compound and its name.

Chlorine gas(Cl2)

Methane gas (CH4)

Water (H2O)

Hydrochloric acid (HCI)

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Remember
 Compound is a chemical combination of two or more atoms.
 Compounds cannot be separated by physical process.
 When compound is formed the chemical properties of elements present in the
compound change.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Atoms are the building blocks of elements, and when two or more different atoms chemically bond, they form compounds. This relationship is foundational because understanding chemical reactions involves knowing how atoms interact to form new compounds with unique properties while observing the conservation of mass and the rearrangement of atoms .

Teaching chemical symbols and elements poses challenges such as ensuring understanding of their historical origins and proper notation, which can be confusing due to symbolic variations from ancient linguistic roots. These can impact learning by making memorization difficult and hindering students' ability to recognize patterns and predict reactions based on proper chemical nomenclature .

When elements chemically combine to form compounds, the individual chemical properties of the elements are altered, creating new properties specific to the compound. For instance, the combination of sodium and chlorine, which are both reactive and potentially hazardous in their elemental forms, results in sodium chloride, a stable compound commonly known as table salt with entirely different properties .

The chemical symbol for tungsten is 'W' derived from its German name 'Wolfram,' and mercury's symbol 'Hg' comes from 'Hydrargyrum' in Latin. These symbols reflect the historical context and linguistic origins of these elements, indicating that some element names are based on ancient names and not directly on their English names .

Proper symbol notation is crucial as it provides accurate information about the element. Symbols must start with a capital letter, and if there is a second letter, it must be lowercase. Incorrect usage, such as writing 'CO' for cobalt instead of 'Co' could be confused with the formula for carbon monoxide, hence precise notation avoids misinterpretation in chemical equations and discussions .

The statement 'Water is a molecule and not an element' is significant because it highlights the distinction between elements, which consist of only one type of atom, and molecules, which are combinations of different atoms bonded together. Water (H2O) as a molecule consists of hydrogen and oxygen atoms chemically combined, differentiating it from elements and emphasizing the importance of molecular structures in chemistry .

The origin of an element's name reflects historical and scientific milestones. Elements named after places, like europium (Europe), and scientists, like einsteinium (Albert Einstein), signify milestone discoveries and honor contributions to science, embedding personal and geographical histories within scientific literature, thus extending the legacy and recognition of discoveries over time .

A compound is a substance formed from the chemical combination of two or more different atoms. It cannot be separated by physical means because the atoms are bonded together chemically, meaning only a chemical process such as electrolysis can decompose a compound into its constituent elements .

Understanding chemical decomposition is important because it illustrates how compounds can be broken down into their constituent elements or simpler compounds using chemical processes, such as heat, light, or electricity. This knowledge is critical in fields like materials science, environmental chemistry, and industrial applications where the breakdown of compounds is essential for development and recycling .

A pure substance is made up of one kind of atom or molecule, whereas a mixture contains different atoms or molecules. Gold is considered a pure substance because it consists of only one type of atom, Au (Aurum), and therefore cannot be broken down into simpler substances while maintaining its properties .
