Atom is the
most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of
matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element. A combination of atom of different elements
creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of
H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and
one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you
combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.

An apple would be a mixture. While a mixture is a combination of elements and substances, a pure substance acts as an element itself, therefore, having the properties of only THAT certain element.
Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.
The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility. When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.
Hey there!
27 tells us the sum of protons and neutrons is 27.
Al tells us we have 13 protons.
3+ tells us that there are 3 less electrons than protons.
13 + n = 27
neutrons = 14
13 - 3 = 10 electrons
27Al3+ has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 10 electrons.
Hope this helps!
