| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Compound | a pure substance made up of two or more elements that are chemically combined |
| Can a compound be separated by physical means? | No, they cannot |
| Compounds contain elements in (changing, definite) proportions | definite |
| Compounds look and act like the elements that form them (true or false). | false- they do not look or act like the elements that form them |
| chemical formula | shows the kinds of elements and ratios of atoms in a compound |
| subscript | small number written after and slightly below the symbol showing the number of atoms of that element |
| Absence of subscript means | one atom |

| Why are most atoms trying to achieve in a chemical reaction? | Gain electrons- 8 to be chemically stable |
| What will atoms do in order to complete their valence shell? | gain, lose or share electrons |
| ion | charged particle or charged atom due to an atom gaining or losing electrons |
