Elements, Mixtures and Compounds(Reflection)

This reflection is on the science topic Elements,Mixtures and Compounds. Ater learning then doing a blog post on this topic i think that i have gain a better understanding of this topic. I understand the properties of each of the three as well as their differences. For example, an element is something that is only made up of on single type of atom, while a compound is two or more elements fused together through chemical reactions. the compounds also do not have the same properties as the elements that were used to make it. Furthurmore, i know that their are many different types of elements, mixtures and compounds all around everyday when we go about our daily activities. Water is an element, air is a mixtures of gases including oxygen which allows us to breathe. Steel is a compound as well. All these make up the things we have and use during our daily lives. After learning about this science topic, i have a better understanding of what is around me and what it actually is down to its atom.
