Elements and Compounds Worksheets (Featuring Definitions, Difference, and Examples)
Science Worksheet for 7th Graders
An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom. Each element has its unique set of properties and is represented by a specific symbol. On the other hand, a compound is a substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions.
Compounds have distinct properties that are different from those of their constituent elements. Understanding the characteristics and differences between elements and compounds is crucial in unraveling the complexities of the world around us.

Elements
Everything around us is made up of elements. Let’s take the air we breathe is mixture so many elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. They are the constituting factors for everything on this planet Earth: the tree, your book, your pencil, paper, and furniture, so on.
An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down by chemical methods into simpler parts.
For example
- A piece of iron cannot be broken down into anything other than iron. If you kept breaking that piece, the pieces would get smaller, but each piece will always be iron.
![nails Picture of Nails](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/nails.png)
- A copper wire is an example of an element/ pure substance. The more we break it down, more pieces of copper we get.
![wires Coil of Copper Wire](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/wires.png)
Elements consist of only one type of atom. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has the same properties of that element. All atoms of a specific element have exactly the same chemical makeup, size, and mass.
![carbon Carbon Atom](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/carbon.png)
There are a total of 118 elements.
Many elements occur naturally on Earth; however, some are created in a laboratory by scientists by nuclear processes.
eTutorWorld Understands Math Tutoring | Online Math Worksheets are Important Tools
Understanding graphs, charts, and opinion polls in a newspaper, for calculating house and car payments, and for choosing a long-distance telephone service are impossible without strong math skills …and the only way to develop strong math skills is by constant practice.
‘Practice makes a man perfect’ holds true for no other field better than for math. A middle or high school student must set aside a minimum of an hour for math every day. Other than textbooks, worksheets help you revise and understand concepts better.
Our expert tutors prepare online maths worksheets that are age and grade-appropriate. Grade-wise math worksheets for Elementary Math, Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, Pre-Calculus and Calculus can be solved to improve math skills, to get ahead or to even catch up.

Compounds
Every combination of atoms is a molecule. Numerous atoms of different elements combine to form a compound molecule. All compounds are molecules but all molecules are not compounds. Molecule is one that is formed together out of a chemical bond.
- Sodium (Na) is a molecule, but not a compound because it is made of only one element.
- Common Salt (NaCl) can be called a molecule or a compound because it is made of Sodium Na, and Chlorine Cl.
![salt Salt in a salt shaker](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/salt.png)
- One atom of carbon + one molecule of oxygen = one molecule of carbon dioxide.

![elements Difference between element compound](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/elements.jpg)
What elements and compounds have in common?
Both, elements and compound are pure chemical substances.
Physical changes: A change which does not affect the substance. Physical forces cannot always break down compounds totally. Heat melts ice to form water. But no change happens to the molecule of water. Like -wise decreasing the pressure boils water leaving the molecules unchanged.
Chemical changes in compounds happen when chemical bonds are created or destroyed.
In a chemical change the forces between atoms, changes the molecular pattern of a substance. Energy is either released or absorbed in the process.
![ice elements and compound are pure chemical substances](https://www.etutorworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ice.png)
The process of curdling of milk is also an example of chemical change.
- A new substance is formed
- The process is irreversible
There are millions of different compounds around us. When elements join and become compounds, they lose many of their individual behavior. Sodium (Na) is very reactive element individually but when sodium and chlorine (Cl) combine, table salt forms which is a non-reactive and obviously very edible substance. New compounds formed rarely posses any of their previous physical or chemical traits when they were elements. They have a new life of their own.

What are elements?
Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. They cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
What are compounds?
Compounds are substances formed by chemically combining two or more elements in fixed proportions. They have unique properties different from their constituent elements.
How are elements and compounds different?
The main difference between elements and compounds is their composition. Elements consist of only one type of atom, while compounds are composed of different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
How are elements and compounds represented?
Elements are represented by symbols, usually derived from their names. For example, oxygen is represented by the symbol O. Compounds are represented using chemical formulas that indicate the types and numbers of atoms present in the compound.
Are there any free worksheets available for practicing elements and compounds?
Yes, our website provides free worksheets for grade 7 students to practice and reinforce their understanding of elements and compounds. These worksheets offer a variety of exercises to enhance their knowledge and skills in this area of chemistry.
