Chemistry:
The study of matter and its changes
Matter:
Anything that has mass and volume
Atom:
The basic unit of matter
Element:
A type of atom
Elements
pure substance that cannot be separated into
up of water, H2O.
Most of a human body's mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic
up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
Compounds
Pure substance composed of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds.
Made of elements in a specific ratio
that is always the same Has a chemical formula Can only be separated by chemical means, not physically
Molecules
A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join
together chemically. (they can have 2 of the same elements) A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. 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.
CH4
H2O
H H
How many atoms of each element are present in one molecule of:
N. H S. O
(NH4)2SO3
2 8 1 3
Pure Substance:
= An element or a compound
(Any substance that can be described by a single chemical formula)
Mixture:
Pure Substances:
Are made of only one compound or one element. Can be represented by one chemical Examples: formula. Salt NaCl Copper Cu Water H 2O
Mixture:
Anything that contains more than one pure substance. Examples:
Mixtures
A combination of two or more pure substances
that are not chemically combined. substances held together by physical forces, not chemical No chemical change takes place Each item retains its properties in the mixture They can be separated physically

organism(plants, animals etc) and inorganic compounds are extracted from non living things(rocks, in laboratory etc). These days organic compounds can be artificially created by human beings, and moreover organic compounds have been found in outer space where there are no living beings. But this the difference which is very basic,in terms of chemistry their are lot of differences between Organic and inorganic compounds,lets discuss about them in detail.
Inorganic Compounds
Mineral in nature Created either due to
things
Organic compounds
