This document defines key chemistry concepts such as elements, compounds, and mixtures. It notes that elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down further, while compounds contain two or more elements chemically bonded together. The document also discusses trace elements essential for life like boron, copper, iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron, and some of their functions and dietary sources. It introduces the periodic table and explains that compounds have properties that may differ from their constituent elements.

3. Element
Pure substance that cannot
be broken down into other
substances by chemical
means.
Atoms
(Smallest possible particle)
Formed by
All atoms of an
element have the
same number of
protons.
8. THE NEED FOR TRACE ELEMENTS
• Boron
Deficiencies of
boron can
contribute to
osteoporosis.

9. • Copper
Deficiencies of copper can cause:
Premature hair graying
Sterility
Premature wrinkling of the skin
Liver
Oysters

10. • Iron
Essential for
carrying
oxygen in your
blood.
• Iodine
Deficiencies of
iodine can cause a
thyroid imbalance
or reduce fertility.

11. • Selenium
• Deficiencies of selenium can
cause people to age
prematurely or to have
slower than normal recovery
from illnesses.

12. • Zinc
Deficiencies of zinc
can cause sterility,
impotence and even
depression.

14. COMPOUND
Is a substance containing
two or more elements that
are chemically combined
in a fixed ratio.
Sodium Chlorine
Sodium chloride
(NaCl)
15. • Compound’s properties may differ from those of the
elements that compos it
• NaCl (Yellow gas + gray metal)
• H2O (Is liquid while O and H are gases)
• Most compounds found in organisms are
more complex.
• Sugar (C, H and O).
• Muscles (C, H, O and N).
