Pure Substance- Element

Explanation:

Pure Substance VS. Mixture:
A pure Substance CANNOT be separated by physical changes, but a Mixture can.

PURE SUBSTANCE: Element VS. Compound:
An Element is one simple atom while a compound is two or more.
Example: Al (Aluminum) is an Element. CaCl (Calcium Chloride) is a compound.
You can split a compound with chemical changes because if you were to take the example, it would be a Calcium atom and a Chlorine atom.
You CANNOT split a single atom (Element) unless you want to make an atomic bomb which takes a lot of energy and you don’t want to destroy the whole world.

MIXTURE: Homogeneous VS. Heterogeneous:

Homo- mixed; cannot differentiate pieces
Hetero- can differentiate pieces
EX: homo- ketchup (can you see the difference in the vinegar and tomato paste? No)
Hetero- chicken noodle soup (there’s broth, chicken, peas, carrots, and other things)

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by

Feliz [49]

Flammable gases are gases that have the tendency to explode (burst into flames) when they come in contact with the appropriate quantities of air, oxygen, or any suitable oxidant.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by an authorized or approved personnel.

Examples of flammable gases are hydrocarbons such as Propane, Acetylene, e.t.c.

Flammable gases are dangerous to humans and the environment and if they are not handled properly, can cause severe damages and even death.

During the preparation and usage of flammable gases, safety precautions should be properly enforced such as the wearing of appropriate safety gear and goggles.
