What are compounds?

consist of atoms of two or more
different elements bound
together
can be broken down into a
simpler type of matter
(elements) by chemical means
(but not by physical means)
have properties that are
different from its component

Properties of Molecular and Ionic

Compounds
Molecular Compounds:
1) Molecular compounds
are composed of
molecules.
2) Molecular compounds
are usually liquid or gas.
3) Molecular compounds
have low melting and low
boiling points.
4) Molecular compounds
do not conduct heat or
electricity.

Ionic Compounds:
1) Ionic compounds are solid
crystals at room
temperature.
2) Ionic compounds have
high melting and boiling
points.
3) Ionic compounds are
hard but brittle.
4) Ionic compounds conduct
electricity when they are
liquid or dissolved.

General Properties of
Compounds
A compound has unique properties that are
distinct from the properties of its elemental
constituents. One familiar chemical compound
is water, a liquid that is nonflammable and
does not support combustion. It is composed
of two elements: hydrogen, an extremely
flammable gas, and oxygen, a gas that
supports combustion. A compound differs
from a mixture in that the components of a
mixture retain their own properties and may
be present in many different proportions. The
components of a mixture are not chemically
combined; they can be separated by physical

and Names of
Compounds

Functions of Compounds
Organic Compounds:
Organic compounds
function in all living
things as
carbohydrates, lipids,
protein and nucleic
acids. All these
components provide
the energy and the
means to maintain and
create life.

Inorganic
Compounds:
Inorganic compounds do a lot
of things for us, but they
basically fall under a few
broad categories of function.
Example:. Many of our
enzymes serve as chelators
for inorganic elements (usually
ions). It's a bit complicated,
but what that basically means
is that enzymes will fold
around an inorganic element,
and the resulting conformation
will help it carry out its
