How is stable transition elements formed?
It is IMPOSSIBLE to form elements of any kind or group other than by nuclear processes. There is no special one for transition elements.
Why do elements at the bottom of group one react more vigioursly with water than the elements on top?
The elements at the bottom of column 1 in a wide form periodic table react more violently with water than do the elements at the top of the column because it requires less energy to remove an electron from the outer shell of elements near the bottom of the table than from an element near the top of the table. The pre-quantum explanation of this difference is that the valence shell electrons in the larger elements at the bottom of the column are "shielded" from the attraction of the positive nucleus by the many inner shell electrons present in the larger elements.
When atoms of more than one element are chemically bound together what do they form?
When atoms of more than one element chemically bonded together, they form a molecule. In some contexts, the you might answer that they form a compound.
How can two electrons combine to form more than one chemical compound?
Two electrons can combine to form more than one chemical compound through the process of bonding with different elements. The nature of the bond and the resulting compound depends on the elements involved and the number of electrons they need to gain or lose to achieve a stable electron configuration. This can lead to the formation of multiple compounds with different chemical and physical properties.
Is it possible for all of the elements to form bonds with each other?
No. The noble gasses will not form bonds with most elements and never bond with metals. Metals form metallic bonds with one another, but this is considered a mixture rather than a new chemical compound.
What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
One or more elements can combine to form a compound when elements form compounds?
Yes, it is correct.
Why are atomic masses written as averages?
elements exist in more than one form eg carbon 12 and carbon14
What element contains atoms that form colored ions and have more than one positive oxidation state?
Transition elements
Most elements are combined with one or more other elements in?
Elements form molecules of chemical compounds
What elements are most likely to form an ionic compound?
Members of groups 1, 2, 6, 7 in the Periodic Table are most likely to form ionic compounds. It depends on what pair of elements are involved, for instance one rule of thumb is metal with nonmetal. Another, more systematic way, to assess this is to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two elements. If the electronegativity difference is 2 or more then the bond will be ionic. If the difference is less than 2 but more than 1.6 and one of the elements is a metal then there can be an ionic bond.
Is this true radioactive elements can undergo more than one decay or transmutation in order to form a stable nucleus?
Yes, is true.
How does the total number of elements compare to the total number of compounds?
There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million
Is a compound a chemical element?
one or more elements combine to form compounds
How is stable transition elements formed?
It is IMPOSSIBLE to form elements of any kind or group other than by nuclear processes. There is no special one for transition elements.
Why are some symbols have more than one letter in them?
There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet but more than 100 distinct elements. Therefore, at least 3/4 of the elements must have atomic symbols with more than one letter.
What are some covalent compounds with more than three elements?
Nucleic acids would be one example of a covalent compound with more than 3 elements. Proteins have more than 3 elements as well. Many organic compounds do, it is quite common.
