Classify each item as an element or a compound:
(a) the gas inside a helium balloon;
(b) table sugar; (c) the rust on an iron nail;
(d) aspirin. All elements are listed alphabetically on the inside front cover.
Which statement is true about the elements present in a compound?
They maintain their chemical properties.
They are composed of many mixtures.
They can be separated by physical methods.
or They can only be separated by chemical methods.
A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.

You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change. Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.
