Science Checkpoint 2 Chapter 9 Elements and Atoms

The document discusses elements and compounds, explaining that elements consist of one type of atom and have unique properties, while compounds have different properties from the elements that form them. It lists elements discovered before 1669, identifies liquid elements at room temperature, and outlines rules for naming element symbols. Additionally, it provides information on the states of matter at specific temperatures and the first twenty elements in the periodic table with their symbols.
