Yes in the sense that you can have a compound and add a chemical or element to it in order to remove an atom from the compound, thus returning it to its elemental form. For example, KI + Li --> LiI + K. The Potassium (K) was in a compound but is now alone in its elemental form after the reaction. (Lithium can replace Potassium because it is more reactive. See the Activity Series for more info on that).

What process do atoms undergo to become stable?
Chemical Bonding
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
Why is corrosion a chemical property?
Corrosion is not so much a chemical property as it is a chemical process. Since it involves chemical reactions by which chemical compounds become different chemical compounds, that makes it a chemical rather than purely physical process.
How can millions of compounds be made from atoms of about 100 elements?
Through the magic of chemistry. It's all about the many, many different ways that atoms can be linked up via chemical bonds to make chemical compounds. And because of the "flexibility" of the carbon atom, it can make long chains of complex compounds. These long chains will "up the count" of molecules. As compounds become larger aggregates of atoms, the atoms can arrange themselves in many different ways to become a different compound. Even with the same numbers of the same atoms, different arrangements, and, therefore, distinct compounds with their own unique characteristics, can be formed. The element carbon is almost miraculous in it's ability to form "chains" or other complex structures to give shape to very large, complex molecules. Far and away more compounds are formed from carbon than any other single element.
Which elements can become stable by losing one elements?
An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.
How can elements be changed into compounds?
Elements become compounds after chemical reactions.
Can compound undergo chemical change to become elements how?
Yes. Compounds can undergo chemical changes to become elements. An example would be the following: Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) ===> ZnCl2(aq) + Cu(s). THe CuCl2 is a compound and it is changed into the element Cu(s) and also into zinc chloride.
What are reactants in a chemical reaction?
The elements or molecules that participate in a chemical reaction and yield a product.
What process do atoms undergo to become stable?
Chemical Bonding
How do the properties of the parts of a mixture compared to the properties of the parts before they become A mixture?
Because there is no chemical reaction, the properties of the elements and compounds do not change when they form a mixture.
What happens when elements combine?
Elements combine to form compounds to become more stable
Can compound s undergo chemical change to become elements?
Any compound can in some way be broken down into its elemental constituents (although they may spontaneously partially or entirely recombine afterwards). One method that will always do this is thermal decomposition, or thermolysis. In this chemical process the compound is simply heated to a high enough temperature that all the chemical bonds between the atom break. Another gentler method uses the techniques of chemical analysis, plus some additional steps to separate the elements of the original compound from the elements of the carrier compounds used to separate them from the original compound.
What happens to compounds when they break down?
They become 2 or more elements
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
Can elements undergo chemical change become compounds?
Yes in the sense that you can have a compound and add a chemical or element to it in order to remove an atom from the compound, thus returning it to its elemental form. For example, KI + Li --> LiI + K. The Potassium (K) was in a compound but is now alone in its elemental form after the reaction. (Lithium can replace Potassium because it is more reactive. See the Activity Series for more info on that).
Can become a curium compound?
Yes, curium can form chemical compounds.
What do most atoms undergo combining in ways that cause their atoms to become more?
Most atoms tend to undergo chemical reactions combining in ways that cause their atoms to become more stable
