Why oxygen is a compound?

It is not a compound, the element is encountered as diatomic species, O2. Compounds consist of two or more different elements.


What is the difference between inorganic compounds and organic compounds?

In general, organic compounds are those compounds which contain both carbon and oxygen, and inorganic compounds lack these atoms. Of couse, this does not always apply, as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide also contain both these elements and are still labeled as inorganic.


Which of these is an example of a compound iron or carbon dioxide or oxygen or calcium?

Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Compounds tend to be made from 2 or more different elements bonded together either covalently or ionically. They are all made of 2 or more elements bonded together whether those elements are the same or not. The other options are elements (Fe, O, and Ca respectively). They are not bonded to anything and therefore do not make a compound.


Why are compounds important to life on earth?

Compounds are simply substances that aren't just atoms. This means molecules are compounds, and those comprise a massive amount of the world's contents. Without compounds, life wouldn't be possible.


What is the name of halogen in period 3?

If you have a periodic table of the elements available, look at the second column from the right. Those elements are often referred to as "halogens". The "rows" in the periodic table are often referred to as the "periods". So the halogen from the third period would be "CL", or chlorine. Glad to help with your homework.

Is it true when element chemically combine the usually form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elements?

No: The compounds more often have very different properties from those of the elements that form them.


What has properties unlike those of their elements?

All the properties are different for chemical elements and chemical compounds.


How is a compound different from the elements that break it up?

compounds are those elements put together


Are the properties of compounds identical to or different from the properties of the elements from which they are formed?

Yes, the properties of compounds are different from those of their component elements. For example, sodium metal and chlorine gas react to form the solid salt sodium chloride.


Is milk a compound mixture or element?

Milk is a mixture. It contains several different compounds, and those compounds are made up of many different elements.


Have properties unlike those of their elements?

Compounds


What are the multiple bonds How are multiple bonds found and why are they most often in those elements?

Organic compounds have frequently double or triple bonds.


Is it true When elements combine to form a mixture the resulting chemical properties may be very different from those of the elements that make it?

No. When elements combine to form compounds the resulting chemical properties may be very different from those of the elements that make it. The components of a mixture are not chemically combined and retain their original properties.


Do compounds have very similar properties from those of the elements that make it?

no


Has hydrogen got oxygen in it?

No. They are two different elements. They are not compounds, which are made up of elements Look at a periodic table. Those are your most basic building blocks as a beginner chemist.


Are there more elements or non-elements?

Non-elements. There are only around 118 known elements, there are millions of compounds made of those elements.


Is milk made of hydrogen oxygen and calcium?

Milk contains a number of different chemical compounds and a number of different elements making up those compounds. It does contain hydrogen, oxygen, and calcium as you state, but it also contains carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and smaller amounts of some other elements.
