What is a compound of two identical elements known as?
A compound can only consistent of at least two different elements.
What are two or more elements combined chemically called?
Two or more elements combined can become a compound.
What is something called with two elements?
If two elements are joined together it is a compound
Is a diatomic molecule of one element a compound?
No its not. there is Diatomic Molecule compounds which consisting of two different element like: CO, NO, MgO, HCl,and HF. however, diatomic molecules are elements that are found in pairs such as: O2,N2,F2,Cl2.
What is a word to describe this two or more elements combined?
When two of the same elements are bonded together, it is called a diatomic molecule.
How do you prepare salt?
Two reactions, for example: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
What is the process for getting sodium chloride?
Two chemical reactions are: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl + NaCl + H2O
How do you make salt scientifically?
Two methods for the preparation of salt in laboratory are: - 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl - NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Can sodium and chlorine form an ionic compound?
YES!!! THis is the only form of combination between the two elements. There is an experiment demonstrating this reaction. In a closed chlorine containing gas jar, insert a small pellet of sodium. There is an immediate reaction as the two elements react together to form sodium chloride. 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) = 2NaCl(s) Sodium chloride is common table salt, that you use in cooking and tasting food.
What is the charge on Cl in the compound Cl2?
-1, and since there is two, -2.
What is a compounds composed of two elements?
A compound is composed of two or more elements. A compound of only two elements is a binary compound.
How do you decide if a formula repesents a compound or an element?
If the chemical formula contains only one element (such as Mg, K or Cl2) it would be an element. If it contains two or more elements (such as NaCl, CO2 or CuSO4.5H2O) then it would be a compound.
What is Cl an element or compound?
Chlorine (chemical symbol Cl) is an element. The molecular formula for chlorine as a gas is Cl2. It is not a compound because it's just one element; compounds have two or more elements chemically combined.
2Na represents two something of sodium Its out of either atoms compounds elements or molecules?
the answer is atoms
Is 2NA a compound?
no because it is just two of the same thing, although they are bonded, it is not an atom nor a compound, nor a mixture ,it is simply an element
How you get sodium chloride?
Two reactions in laboratory are: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl = H2O Industrially sodium chloride is extracted from salt mines or sea waters.
Is Chlorine gas a polar covalent compound?
No. Chlorine is diatomic, meaning two atoms will naturally pair up (Cl2). Because they share electrons equally, it is a non-polar covalent molecule. (It's not a compound either - compounds are between at least two different elements).
