ATOMSmallest unit of matter

Smallest unit into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance

ELEMENT = type of atom

Molecule2 or more atoms bonded together

Can be the same type of atom = molecule of an element

Can be different types of atoms = molecule of a compound

Compound2 or more atoms of different elements bonded to form a new substance

with new properties

Compound2 or more atoms of different elements bonded to form

a new substance with new properties

Example: _____________H = colorless, odorless flammable gas O = colorless, odorless flammable gas H2O = colorless, odorless nonflammable liquid

water = H2O
