For example, 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 is an equation. Chemistry A written representation of a chemical reaction, in which the symbols and amounts of the reactants are separated from those of the products by an equal sign, arrow, or a set of opposing arrows. For example, Ca(OH) 2 + H 2 SO 4 = CaSO 4 + 2H 2 O, is an equation.
an element is a pure substance that is made from a single type of atom elements are the building blocks for all the rest of the matter in the world examples of elements include iron oxygen hydrogen gold and helium
An element is a chemical substance that cannot be broken-down into any simpler substances by chemical reactions. It consists of only one type of atom, though the atoms of an element may, or may not, join together to form molecules (that depends on the particular element and so the structure of its atoms).he main classifications of matter include the categories element and compound, either of which may also be called a substance (which is a less specific term), and mixture-of which there are also many sub-categories.
