Can all compounds be separated into their constituent elements?

Yes, but the process is not always easy. In some case a lot of energy might be needed.
For example, electrolysis can separate Na and Cl from NaCl but it has to be done at high temperatures using molten NaCl.

Can a compound be seperated into its consistent elements by physical methods?
Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.
Is P4 S8 and O2 a polyatomic compound?
No, not compounds, they all are polyatomic elements
What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
What element do all chemical compounds contain?
A compound has two or more elements that are chemically combined. It cannot be easily separated which means that is a homogeneous. An example of this would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl.) :)

What element is a constituent of all organic compounds?
Carbon
When elements form compounds do they take on new properties?
The properties from the original elements are all left behind; almost no compound shows any of the properties of its constituent elements (the most widely used example of this is sodium and chlorine forming sodium chloride).
All compounds are made from how many elements?
All compounds are made of two or more elements.
Is all matter is made of elements or compounds?
Matter include and others entities than elements and compounds.
Are all elements smaller than compounds?
yes because all elements make up compounds
What are compounds that are formed by elements?
Today are known approx. 65.106 chemical compounds.
Is P4 S8 and O2 a polyatomic compound?
No, not compounds, they all are polyatomic elements
How is mixture different from compound?
Elements, compounds, and mixtures are all pretty similar things; however, they have aspects that allow the chemist to differentiate between the three chemistry concepts.An element consists of only one kind of atom.A compound consists of atoms from two or morekinds of elements that are bound together.A mixture consists of two or more different elements or compounds that have been physically combined.Both compounds and mixtures can be separated, but the difference is that compounds can only be chemically separated (and always retains the same amount of its components), whereas mixtures can only be physically separated (and it will contain most of its original components).
What is the basis for all compounds?
All chemical compounds are formed from chemical elements.
What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
Are all elementsmade of compounds which may combine to form molecules?
No. Elements are not made of compounds. Elements may be combined to form compounds.
