Have properties unlike those of their elements?
Compounds
What has properties unlike those of their elements?
All the properties are different for chemical elements and chemical compounds.
What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
What statement can be made when compairing the chemical and physical properties between a compound and the elements from which it is formed?
The chemical and physical properties of a compound are different than those of the elements from which it is formed.
What are Properties unlike those of their elements?
When elements combine, the resulting compound is usually very different to the original elements. Take common salt for example. Sodium and chlorine are very reactive elements that you certainly would not allow anywhere near your food, yet sodium chloride is an essential part of our diets.
How do the properties of a compound compare with those of its elements?
In general they don't. Table salt (NaCl), which is a solid and one that (within reasonable limits) we can consume safely, is made from a highly reactive metal (Na) and a seriously corrosive gas (Cl).
What is a chemical combination of two or more different elements that can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means and has properties different from those of its component elements?
Compound
How do the properties of mixture differ from those of a compound?
It is normal; each compound has specific properties.
How are the properties of a compound different from those in a mixture?
A compound has a definite composition, while a mixture's composition can vary.
Is salt a homogeneous mixture?
Salt water is a homogeneous mixture. Salt, however, is a compound. It has its own properties different from the original elements that created it. It was chemically combined and can only be separated by those means.
What happens when chemical elements are combined?
When element chemically combine, they form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elements
Is elements chemically combine they form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elememts?
No, compounds do not necessarily have similar properties to their uncompounded elements. Example: Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gasses at normal temperature and pressure, but their compound, dihydrogen oxide (water) is a very distinctly different substance.
