F. Answer the following questions : 1. What is matter? 2. Differentiate between the three states of matter. 3. What is an element? Give example. 4. How is a compound different from a mixture?
Answers
Explanation:
1. matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume.
2. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.
3. This means that all atoms that make up the element would have the same number of protons. For example, carbon is an element comprised of atoms having the same number of protons, i.e. 6. Common examples of elements are iron, copper, silver, gold, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.
4. Compound:a substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: a combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties.

3. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing a single proton and a single electron. If you change the number of protons an atom has, you change the type of element it is.
4. Compound:a substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: a combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties.
