The difference could be in the proportions of the elements or in the structure of the compounds
There are three iron oxides where the proportions of the elements are different, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4
There are two isomers of butane C4H10 , two structural forms, n-butane and iso-butane.
What else can I help you with?
How can two coumpounds made from the same element be so different?
Because the proportions of the elements are different in the different compounds. They may contain the same elements, but the different proportions make them different compounds with different properties.
Do different compounds made of the same elements have different subscripts?
Yes, different compounds made of the same elements can have different subscripts. The subscript in a chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the compound, so compounds with different structures or bonding arrangements can have different subscripts.
Do compounds act the same as their original atoms before they bonded to an element?
No. Compounds have unique chemical and physical properties different from the elements of which they are made.
What is the difference from an element from a compound?
An element is a substance made up of atoms with the same number of protons, while a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Elements cannot be broken down further by chemical means, while compounds can be broken down into their constituent elements.
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 )
Are componds made of different combinations of atoms?
A compound is made when two ELEMENTS are joined together. We can look at the elements in the periodic table from these elements we get really everything that is around us. Water is a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen. There can be different combinations of the elements as this is what makes new things.
What is the relationship between atoms elements and compounds?
I believe...compounds are made up of two or more elements. Elements are made up of atoms.
When elements chemically combine do the properties of the compounds have the same properties as the elements it is made of?
Generally, no, they do not.
What fats are made of the same elements but in different proportions?
Fats are made of the same elements as carbohydrates, but in different proportions.
What is the difference between molecular compounds and molecular element?
Molecular compounds are made up of multiple different elements bonded together, while molecular elements are made up of the same type of element bonded together. Molecular compounds have multiple types of atoms, while molecular elements have only one type of atom.
Can two completely different compounds contain identical elements?
No. The chemical formulas for the two compounds would be different as the ratios were different. For example there are three different oxides of iron which obviously contain the same two elements but these are in different ratios:- FeO Fe3O4 Fe2O3
How is possible for two different ionic compounds to contain the same elemets?
It is possible for two different ionic compounds to contain the same elements because the way the elements are bonded and arranged with other elements can result in different chemical compounds with distinct properties. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) both contain sodium and chlorine ions, but in different proportions and arrangements, leading to different compounds with unique properties.
