Ethiopian Grade 8 Chemistry TextBook

In Grade 7 Unit 2, you have learned about substances. Form groups and discuss the following. 

  • 1 What are compounds and how are they classified?
  • 2 Assume that you are given two compounds (water and alcohol) in two different containers. Explain how you could distinguish between these two substances.
  • 3 What are the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures?
    After the group discussion, choose a group representative to present the group’s opinion to the class.

After completing this section, you will be able to:

  • tell that compounds are classified as organic and inorganic;
  • define organic chemistry as the study of carbon-containing compounds, and
  • define inorganic chemistry as the study of non-carbon-containing compounds.
