Synthetic Elements
Quasi-synthetic elements:
Provisional names of Recently observed synthetic elements:
It is always found bonded with other elements, it goes through a process to become a single element.
No, oxygen is an element and not a compound. It is found in nature as diatomic oxygen (O2) molecules, which consist of two oxygen atoms bonded together.
It is a compound: NaCl-sodium [an element] bonded to chloride [an element].
An element occur in nature as a pure element or as a compound.
Its none of those its a diatomic element. Nitrogen is found in nature as N2 because it is unstable when not bonded with something so it bonds with its self.
The same atoms bonded together are elements. Different atoms bonded together are compounds. Oxygen gas, O2, is an element composed of molecules of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Water, H2O is a molecular compound composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Common table salt, NaCl, is an ionic compound composed of sodium and chloride ions ionically bonded.
No. nitrogen is not always bonded with another element. Nitrogen gas which makes up the great majority of our atmosphere (air) is just nitrogen
Diatomic
Oxygen. A good example would be in quartz crystals and the class of minerals known as silicates (SiO4). Also, as silicon carbide in the rare mineral moissanite.-- JT
