CHEMICAL ELEMENTS - pure substances that cannot be decomposed by ordinary means to other substances. Aluminum Sodium Bromine
The elements, their names, and symbols are given on the PERIODIC TABLE How many elements are there?
Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907)
Discovered 8 new elements. Only living person for whom an element was named.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the chemical properties of the element. Copper atoms on silica surface. See CD- ROM Screen 1.4 Distance across = 1.8 nanometer (1.8 x 10-9 m)

Relative Densities of the Elements
A piece of copper has a mass of 57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm 3 ). Density = mass (g) volume (cm3)
1. Get dimensions in common units. 2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters. 3. Calculate the density.
