An example of how two elements changed properties when they formed a compound can be found in table salt, sodium chloride. Sodium by itself is very unstable, exploding when it comes into contact with water, and causing burns if it contacts skin. Chlorine is a gas that is so poisonous that it has been used as a chemical weapon, but together, sodium chloride is necessary for life. It also makes french fries better!
We can say that this is true to some extent.We must all agree that the properties of a compound DOES depend on the elements it contains since a variation in the elements changes the properties of the compound.However, what we must remember is that the properties of the compound does NOT depend on the properties of the elements that make up the compound.A simple example is water, made of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is very different from the elements indeed.
They normally have new properties as a compound, example- sodium metal, extremely reactive, reacts violently with moisture; and chlorine gas, deadly poisonous, react together to form table salt-sodium chloride
I'm pretty sure is is a Compound. A compound is a substance that is made up of more than on element. The properties of matter mostly depend on how atoms of different elements are combined in compounds.
Nope. It is a compound of two elements.
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.
yes. an example is salt. salt is an edible compound that is made of poisonus elements.
You think probable to a chemical compound.
The act of bonding repositions the electrons, which changes the base properties of the united molecule. It is for this reason, for example, that oxygen O2 has different properties than ozone O3 even though both compounds only have the element of oxygen.

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).
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.

compound contains elements in a fixed proportion. Example= NaCl
Not always. For example sodium (Na), a metal that reacts violently with water, and chlorine (Cl), a yellow poisonous gas, combine to make table salt, which has none of these properties. But in others cases there are some similarities, like in a metal alloy.
When different atoms join, a new substance is formed that has properties that differ from the properties of the original atoms. Example: Hydrogen and oxygen separately are colorless, odorless gases at room temperature. When combined in a chemical reaction, they form water.
No. The properties of a compound are always differentfrom the elements of which they are made. For example: sodium (Na) is a metal that reacts vigorously with water, and chlorine gas (Cl2) is a slightly green toxic gas. However, when they combine chemically, they produce common table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl).2Na + Cl2 ---> 2NaCl
Most coins are made of pure elements, like copper. A compound is a combination of elements which are chemically bonded together, so they have completely different properties. While coins can contain different metals, they are usually not bonded in this way.
