Oxygen is one of the compounds that together form air, carbon dioxide, ozone, water, rocket fuel etc.
What elements compounds make up limestone chalk and cement?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) contains calcium, Ca, and carbon, C, and oxygen, O.
Which elements form the largest number of compounds- Hydrogen or oxygen or Silicon or Carbon?
Boron (B)
Why does carbon form such a large number of compounds?
One carbon atom can form four covalent bonds with oxygen, hydrogen or another carbon. This is because it has four valence electrons.
Which compounds reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide?
Carbon form carbon dioxide by oxydation.

The splitting of carbon dioxide to form oxygen gas and carbon compounds occurs when?
During photosynthesis.
What elements does Nitrogen combine with to form compounds?
oxygen,hydrogen, carbon to name three.
Which element forms more compounds than all the other elements combined?
Carbon is the element that forms maximum number of compounds
What does the number 4 have to do with how carbon forms compounds?
Carbon can form four covalent bonds
Why Oxygen and chlorine are not ionic compounds?
Oxygen and chlorine are each elements, not compounds. They combined to form a number of covalent compounds because they are both nonmetals.
What are carbon compounds?
Carbon atoms have the ability to form strong links with four other atoms and hence can form a large variety of compounds. Methane, Ethane, Carbon Tetra-chloride and more are part of a large number of organic and inorganic compounds formed by carbon. Carbon compounds are those containing carbon.
What are the chemical compounds which form part of the plant's dry mass?
Majority are carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
What compounds helps give carbonated beverages their fizz?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Carbon and oxygen combine to form the gas CO2.
