Ch. 12 Practice Problems How many times of atoms can you expect to find in a pure sample of any element?
An element consists of only one type of atom.
What is the difference between an element and a compound?
An element has only one type of atom. A compound has combinations of different types of atoms.
The air we breathe is not considered by chemists to be an element. Why not?
An element is a material made of only one type of atom. Air is a mixture of different kinds of atoms, mostly nitrogen and oxygen.
How does an ion differ from an atom?
An ion has a charge and an atom does not.
Distinguish between atomic number and mass number.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

What changes during a chemical reaction?
During a chemical reaction there is a change in the way atoms are bonded together.
What doesn't change during a physical change?
During a physical change the chemical composition of a substance does not change.
How do the electron-dot structures of elements in the same group in the periodic table compare with one another?
Electron dot structures of elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons
Which elements tend to form ionic bonds?
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ionic bonds.
