Why do you not find pure samples of highly reactive element in the ground?

Being very reactive these elements react quickly and form compounds.


How is compound and element similar?

Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements. Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20). However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form. --- Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.


Can you find all naturally occurring compounds on a periodic table?

Periodic table lists elements and not compounds. Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.


What are the 3 elements most often found in organic compounds?

How many compounds and elements are in water?

There are 118 chemical elements, give or take, as the heaviest are extremely unstable and difficult to synthesize and identify. As for chemical compounds, there are many millions of them, with tens of thousands of new ones being synthesized each year.


Most binary ionic compounds are also called salts?

No, metals are not compounds. They are elements or mixtures (alloys) containing metallic elements.

What do you call rocks and minerals that contain elements extracted through mining?

Rocks and Minerals that contain elements extracted through mining are called Ores. The rocks that contain the minerals are called ores, The minerals that they contain are called ore minerals, and are extracted to be processed in order to recover whatever element it is that is being mined.
