I can name some elements and represent these by symbols; distinguish between symbols for elements and formulae for compounds;

I can identify elements whose properties do not fit the general pattern of metals and non-metals. I can begin to represent compounds by formulae.

Atoms

I can recognise that there is a small number of elements shown on periodic table and name some of these.

I know elements contain one type of particle called atoms.

I can explain that compounds are made when atoms of different elements join together.

I can begin to use symbols for elements and to represent reactions in word equations.

I know that materials can be pure (all the same element or compound), or a mixture (of elements/compounds).

I can relate positions of metals + non-metals in periodic table. 

I understand that specific compounds are made when elements react (and the properties of the products can be different from those of the consistent elements).
