Key words: element, compound, ore
Element
Element
A substance made of only ONE type of atom – it cannot be broken down chemically. Metals like iron and copper are elements.
Compound
Compound
A substance made of two or more elements chemically joined in fixed proportions. Example: iron oxide, found in rocks.
Ore
Ore
A rock that contains enough metal (in a compound) to make extraction worthwhile. Extracting the metal needs a chemical reaction.
