Mr. Parey's Loh
by Leah Joy A Desamparado
Inside the lab, I always do a great job.
Everything is in the right corner and always in order.
I never mixed one that is different from the other.
As you enter the room, all is perfect, not a single clutter.
A red cabinet can be seen on the other side of the corner
Where another pure substance, a compound is placed in there
It can be broken down into simple type of matter,
Composed of atoms of elements two or more bonded together.
It has unique properties different from its individual origins
Chlorine a poisonous gas when combine to sodium.
A shiny metal turn into a table salt
which in cooking food is very fundamental.
Now everything is a mess
Elements and compounds all over the places
Can you help me sort them out?
And organize all of them without any doubt.
I am an Iron, made up of a single atom
Where do I belong?
Is it in the blue cabinet or somewhere between rust, salt, and alcohol?
I am a water, made up of hydrogen and oxygen
They say I am a compound
If you agree, in the red cabinet is where I should be.
You just made a good job!
An apprentice I never had
Always bear in mind
There are two types of substance inside my lab
The simplest matter is the element.
And a compound that can be broken down into its components.

B. some properties of an element can be observed only in a collection of atoms or molecules of the element .These properties include color, density, melting point, boiling point, and thermal and electrical conductivity.
C. compounds are made up of elements that are chemically joined. Like elements, compounds have properties that allow us to identify them. Learn about physical properties, like color, odor, melting point and boiling point, as well as chemical properties.
