Why is element and compound is different?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom. A compound is composed of atoms of more than one element.
Is an element composed of two types of atom?
No an element is composed of 1 type of atom but a compound is composed of 1 or more atoms
Explain the difference between elements and compounds?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom. A compound is composed of two or more elements (kinds of atoms) chemically combined.
Is carbon a pure compound?
Carbon is an element and not a compound. It is made up of one kind of atom, which is carbon. A compound is composed of two or more elements.
The name for substances composed of more than one type of atom linked together is?
A substance composed of more than one type of atom, chemically combined, is called a compound.
Is and atom and an element the samething?
No. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Each element is composed of the same kind of atoms, according to their number of protons (atomic number). Molecules are composed of two or more atoms (they may be the same element or different elements), and compounds are composed of two or more kinds of atoms.
What is the difference between element compound mixture?
A mixture is a substance composed of two or more components physically combined. An element is a pure substance composed of one kind of atom. A compound is a pure substance formed when atoms of two or more elements chemically combine.
What object is composed of more than one atom?
Every object you see is composed of more than one atom. You can not see the largest atom with naked eye. In fact you may have to spend years to count the atoms in the smallest object that you can see.
Molecular ion are composed of more than one atom?
molecular ions
What is element compound ion and molecule?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down chemically. A compound is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded, and are either ionic or molecular. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, developing a negative or positive charge, respectively. A molecule is two or more atoms covalently bonded.
What are elements and how do they relate to compounds?
An element is a material that has only one kind of atom. For example- hydrogen is an element- it has only hydrogen atoms. Another element is oxygen- it has only oxygen atoms. But if we combine the two elements together, add a spark, we have a bang- and we now have a compound- water. Compounds are 2 or more elements that combine chemically.
How is a compound different from an element-?
A compound is different from an element in that a compound is made up of several elements. An element is a base atom only. Think of a compound as a living room set and an element as a couch only.
