Compounds are pure substances formed from two elements (elements are pure as well) joining together. this creates a molecule, A compound is also known as a mixture of elements. these are only possible if the elements that form the molecule (compound) are pure. For example, a water molecule contains from two Hydrogen atoms combining with one Oxygen atom. This creates the compound known as H2O the 2 means that their are two Hydrogen atoms and since there is no subscript for Oxygen (Subscript=x or 2and so on)
True: Ionic compounds are composed of anions and cations False: They are composed of nonmetallic elements.
Yes
No, by definition an organic compound contains carbon.
true
properties of compounds are different than elements
Compounds.
Water; all living things require some water.
False. Most minerals are compounds, which means that they are combinations of elements. Additionally, some minerals are elements by themselves.
Some chemical compounds are sensitive to light. The dark colored bottle prevents light from getting to the contents. The same is true for things like beer and medicines.
true!
because it was once believed that such compounds could not be synthesized in a lab but could only be produced in living things/organisms because of some "supernatural essence" unique to themorganic compounds are very complex carbon compounds
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
