  5. Analogy: • Think of elements as letters of the alphabet and compounds as words formed by combining the letters. • We can spell all of the English words with just 26 letters. • We can form millions of compounds with just 109 elements. • Ex: Sodium(Na) + Chlorine(CI) = Salt(NaCI)

  6. Forming Compounds: • What type of change occurs when forming compounds? • Chemical changes • Do the characteristics of an element change when combined with another? • Yes • What happens when 2 or more elements combine and their properties change? • A compound is formed

  7. Writing Activity • Write a paragraph explaining how a compound is formed. • Include the components combined to form the compound. • Use the periodic table and give an example of a compound.
