How do you determine the number of elements using the formula of a compound?
an element is a single substance while a compound is made up of multiple elements. Theirs no way to now how many elements form to make a compound... only through a microscope/
What is the process called when a compound is made directly from the element in it?
Its called a compound. When 2 elements come together they will sometimes be able to form a compound. a compound is 2 elements formed together to make 1 single substance.
Are all rocks made of minerals?
