Elements, compound and mixtures.
Elements
Chemical elements are a type of matter made up of atoms of the same kind.
In its simplest form, it has a certain number of protons in its nucleus, making it belong to a unique category classified by its atomic number, even though it can display different atomic masses.
Examples of elements:
Silver (Ag)
Nitrogen (N)
Carbon (C)
Phosphorus (P)
Oxygen (O)
Mixtures
A mixture is the combination of two or more substances in which each of them retains its distinctive properties.
There are also other types of mixtures in which it is not possible to distinguish the components, even when observed with the microscope.
Mixtures are classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous
Heterogeneous
A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of 2 or more elements or substances that can occur in any state of matter, in which its components can be identified.
Homogeneous
A homogeneous mixture is the combination of 2 or more elements or substances. Homogeneous mixtures are characterized by being uniform, that is, the elements that compose them are not distinguishable with the naked eye.
