Element and compound notes

Mg + O2  
Magnesium + Oxygen

An element is made up of only one type of atom. A compound is made up of 2 or more elements,that are chemically combined. When we got a piece of magnesium, the colour was silvery grey, and it was a solid. Once we put the magnesium above the bunsen burner. It turned into Magnesium Oxide, which is made up of magnesium and oxygen. The Magnesium Oxide was a bright white solid, that turned into a white grey powder.
