Unit 7 Test

What is an element?

• A simple substance that cannot be broken down into smaller parts or changed into another substance.

• A material made up of two or more different chemical substances

• An element is a mixture of different substances.

• An element is a form of energy.

Answer explanation

An element is defined as a simple substance that cannot be broken down into smaller parts or transformed into another substance, distinguishing it from compounds and mixtures.

Mark all the elements below:

• O

• Fe

• Na

• HCL

• MgBr

Answer explanation

The correct answers are O (oxygen), Fe (iron), and Na (sodium), which are all chemical elements. HCl (hydrochloric acid) and MgBr (magnesium bromide) are compounds, not elements.
