∙ 12y agoMany transition elements can produce two or more differently charged ions. For example, copper can form either 1+ ions or 2+ ions. The halogen chlorine forms chloride ions with 1- charge. So copper can form two separate compounds containing chlorine. One is copper(I) chloride, and the other is copper(II) chloride. These compounds have their own unique properties.

What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
Why carbon compounds form covalent compounds?
This because it has the valency 4 (called tetra valency) by which it can combine with lots of elements and also it has a property of forming stable compounds
Give the properties of ionic compounds?
There is one very important property of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
Is an metal acidic or alkaline?
Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.
Do compounds have properties like those of their elements?
No, Properties of compounds are totally diffident from that of their constituent elements. For example the property of common salt (sodium chloride) is no way related to either the properties of sodium metal and chlorine gas.
Is their a relation between uses of the transition metal as a catalyst and the properties of transition metals?
One property of transition metals is that all elements and compounds in transition metals act as a catalyst ( speeds up chemical reactions. )xcool77
Is the sharing of electrons by elements to form compounds a physical property or a chemical property?
chimical property

Is the sharing of electrons by elements to form compounds a chemical property?
Yes.
Why are the property of different compounds so different from each other?
because not all elements and compounds react with each other

What elements are outer transition elements in periodic table?
An element with an incomplete d subshell. Elements which have common cations with incomplete d subshells are also considered transition metals. Elements with incomplete f subshells are sometimes called "inner transition elements."

The noble gases include helium neon argon krypton xenon and radon. What property do these elements share?
They readily form compounds with other elements.
What element has the physical property of magnetism?
Every substance has the physical property of magnetism to some extent. Metals can be magnetized more than other elements or compounds.
