Year 7/8 Flashcards- Digital file- Atoms, elements, compounds and naming compounds

These flashcards introduce the key ideas about atoms, elements, compounds, and naming compounds in chemistry, including:

• What atoms and elements are and how they are different
• How compounds are formed when elements are chemically bonded together
• How to name simple compounds (metal + non-metal rule)
• How oxygen changes naming rules, including when to use “-ate” ending
• How to recognise and describe compounds using chemical symbols and formulae

Use these flashcards to check your understanding, learn key scientific terms, and build a clear picture of how substances are made and how we name them in chemistry.

🔑 Reminder: Don’t just read the flashcards. Test yourself! Cover the answers, say them out loud, and then check if you were correct. For even better results, use them alongside a “How to Use Flashcards” guide to help you study effectively.
