Isomers are compounds that exist in different molecular arrangements of atoms of the same elements and having identical atomic weights. Although isomers of a compound contain the same atoms in their molecules, the atoms are arranged in a different molecular structure and the isomers may differ in their physical, chemical, and biological properties.

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 )
How can substances that contain that same element have very different properties?
Because not only one element in a chemical compound counts for the chemical/physical prperties.
Are compounds made from different types of atoms that are chemically bonded?
Yes. A compound is a substance made of atoms that are chemically bonded.
Different form of same element due to different arrangement of atom?
different shape of elements from the molecules and compounds
How are isotopes of one element similar to each other?
An isotope of an element is same as the element in that it has the same number of protons. An isotope of an element is different from the element in that it has a different number of neutrons.
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.
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 isotopes related to compounds?
Not directly. Isotopes are different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. But as different isotopes have the same chemical properties, they all can form the same compounds which function the same chemically.
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 the relationship between the elements and the compounds?
Atoms make up all matter. An element has atoms that are all the same. Compounds are made of different kinds of atoms combined chemically in exact whole number ratios.
Why don't compounds have the same chemical properties that form them?
Because an element is an element and a molecule is a molecule; they are different chemical entities and of course they have different chemical and physical properties.
How can substances that contain that same element have very different properties?
Because not only one element in a chemical compound counts for the chemical/physical prperties.
What is the relationship between element and compound?
Atoms make up all matter. An element has atoms that are all the same. Compounds are made of different kinds of atoms combined chemically in exact whole number ratios.
How is pure element different from an element in compound?
A pure element (on an atomic scale) is a series of the same atoms (same amount of electrons). Elements in compounds are fused to each other meaning that their amount of electrons may have changed and they may have a different charge.
Are compounds made from different types of atoms that are chemically bonded?
Yes. A compound is a substance made of atoms that are chemically bonded.
What is an element and what is a compound?
Element consists of a single type of atom (i.e. consists of atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds are made of several different atoms.
Different form of same element due to different arrangement of atom?
different shape of elements from the molecules and compounds
