An atom is the basic unit of chemistry. It consists of a positively
charged core (the atomic nucleus) which contains protons and neutrons, and
which maintains a number of electrons to balance the positive charge in the
nucleus. The atom is also the smallest entity that can be envisaged to retain
the chemical properties of the element, such as electronegativity, ionization
potential, preferred oxidation state, coordination number, and preferred
types of bonds to form (e.g., metallic, ionic, covalent). Molecules are
typically a set of atoms bound together by covalent bonds, such that the
structure is electrically neutral and all valence electrons are paired with
other electrons either in bonds or in lone pairs.
A chemical element is specifically a substance which is composed of a
single type of atom. A chemical element is characterized by a particular
number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. This number is known as the
atomic number of the element. For example, all atoms with 6 protons in
their nuclei are atoms of the chemical element carbon, and all atoms with
92 protons in their nuclei are atoms of the element uranium.
A compound is a substance with a particular ratio of atoms of particular
chemical elements which determines its composition, and a particular
organization which determines chemical properties. For example, water is a
compound containing hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of two to one, with
the oxygen atom between the two hydrogen atoms, and an angle of 104.5°
between them.

7. Read the following text and make a brief report in Russian
Several terms are commonly used to characterize the general physical
and chemical properties of the chemical elements. A first distinction is
between the metals, which readily conduct electricity, and the nonmetals,
which do not, with a small group (the metalloids) having intermediate
properties, often behaving as semiconductors.
There is a broad version of element classification used in the periodic
table: actinides, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, lanthanides,
metals, metalloids, noble gases, nonmetals, and transition metals. In this
system, the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals, as
well as the lanthanides and the actinides, are special groups of the metals
viewed in a broader sense.
Another commonly used basic distinction among the elements is their
state of matter: solid, liquid, or gas, at a selected standard temperature and
pressure.
Each element has its own physical and chemical properties. Melting and
boiling points, typically expressed in degrees Celsius at a pressure of one
atmosphere, are commonly used in characterizing the various elements. The
density at a selected standard temperature and pressure (STP) is frequently
used in characterizing the elements. Density is often expressed in grams per
cubic centimeter (g/cm3).

17. Read the following text and retell it in Russian
The reaction of two or more elements together results in the formation
of a chemical bond between atoms and the formation of a chemical
compound.
Oxidation, reduction, dissociation, acid-base neutralization and
molecular rearrangement are some of the commonly used kinds of chemical
reactions.
A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another
compound to form water and carbon dioxide. An example of this kind of
reaction is the burning of napthalene:
C10H8 + 12O2 → 10CO2 + 4H2O
A synthesis reaction is when two or more simple compounds combine to
form a more complicated one. One example of a synthesis reaction is the
combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide:
8Fe + S8 → 8FeS
A decomposition reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction - a
complex molecule breaks down to make simpler ones. One example of a
decomposition reaction is the electrolysis of water to make oxygen and
hydrogen gas:
2H2O → 2H2 + O2
Single displacement: This is when one element trades places with
another element in a compound. One example of a single displacement
reaction is when magnesium replaces hydrogen in water to make
magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:
Mg + 2H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2
Double displacement: This is when the anions and cations of two
different molecules switch places, forming two entirely different
compounds. One example of a double displacement reaction is the reaction
of lead (II) nitrate with potassium iodide to form lead (II) iodide and
potassium nitrate:
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2 + 2KNO3
Acid-base: This is a special kind of double displacement reaction that
takes place when an acid and base react with each other. The H+ ion in the
acid reacts with the OH- ion in the base, causing the formation of water.
One example of an acid-base reaction is the reaction of hydrobromic acid
(HBr) with sodium hydroxide:
HBr + NaOH → NaBr + H2O

20. Look at the diagram “Chemical Elements in the Earth’s Crust”
and read the description
The pie chart shows the distribution of chemical elements in the Earth’s
crust. The content of the chemical elements is expressed in weight percent.
Oxygen takes the largest part of the Earth’s crust, 49.4% of the total
content. The second place is taken by silicon, 25.8%. The content of
aluminum is 7.5%. Iron, calcium, sodium, and potassium occupy just 4.7,
3.4, 2.6, and 2.4%, respectively, while the content of magnesium, hydrogen
and titanium together is less than 2%. 0.8% of the content is shared
between all other chemical elements.
Almost 99% of the Earth’s crust minerals are made up of ten elements.
Most of these elements are found combined with other elements as
compounds.
