Two: sodium and chlorine.
When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond. This bond is called an ionic bond.
A compound is formed when elements join together.
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
Salt (NaCl) is white, solid, salty, soluble in water, usually found in small granules, etc. Sodium (Na) is a silver/white, highly reactive alkali metal. Chlorine (Cl) is a greenish gas, and a halogen.
A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together. And a compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. So all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.
When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond. This bond is called an ionic bond.
Atoms cannot be combined chemically. If an atom is combined with another it is fusion. It forms a heavier atom, unique from the original atoms.
Compound
Elements join together to form compounds such as sodium and chlorine making sodium chloride or salt
A compound is formed when elements join together.
No, when two elements join chemically to form a compound the product is neutral.
Not by itself. Another element has to be around to chemically join with it to turn it into a compound. An atom of an element can join with another atom like itself to form a diatomic molecule, and a number of elements do this. Oxygen is called O2 because an oxygen atom always travels around with a buddy. When we form the "simplest" compounds, it takes an atom of one thing and an atom of another thing. Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), and it's a compound with an atom of sodium and an atom of chlorine bonded together.
Magnesium Chloride
When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.
