ice cream elements

Match the components of the ice cream analogy to the concepts they represent in chemistry.

• molecule

• 2 or more flavours chemically combined

• element

• scoop

• compound

• 2 or more scoops chemically combined

• atom

• flavour

In the ice-cream analogy which of the following represents the elements?

• different flavours of ice cream

• scoops of ice cream

• scoops of ice cream combined

In the ice-cream analogy which of the following represents an atom of matter?

• a single scoop of ice cream

• two scoops of ice cream combined

• a single flavour of ice cream

How many atoms (scoops) from how many elements (flavours) are depicted in this sample of matter (ice cream)?

• 6 atoms of 1 element

• 5 atoms of 2 elements

• 7 atoms of 1 element

• 1 atom and 7 elements

How many atoms and how many elements can you see in this sample? Remember: atoms are the smallest particles; elements are the simplest substances.

• 5 atoms and 5 elements

• 5 atoms and 2 elements

• 5 atoms and 3 elements

• 3 atoms and 5 elements

Which of the following best describes this image? (remember 2 or more scoops bonded is called a molecule)

• 3 molecules of one element

• 6 molecules of one element

• 1 molecule of 6 elements

• 1 molecule of 3 elements

Which of the following options best describes the structure (number and arrangement of the scoops) of the matter in this image?

• 8 molecules made from 4 atoms

• 4 molecules made from 8 atoms

How many elements appear in this sample? (remember elements are like flavours)

• 1 element

• 2 elements

• 4 elements

• 8 elements

How many molecules are there in this sample?

• 4

• 5

• 8

• 10

The image shows 5 molecules. Each molecule is made from 2 elements. What name is given to a substance in which each particle is composed of more than one flavour?

• An atom

• A element

• A molecule

• A compound
