What is the smallest unit of a compound with the same chemical characteristics?
molecule
Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Compounds are made of bonding few elements. They could not have same properties as its component elements. They could have completely different properties.
What is the smallest piece of matter a compound can be broken into and still have the same properties?
Once, we thought the answer to this was atoms. Better technology now tells us that there are things within atoms, and things within them. Thus, particles like quarks and gluons are the smallest pieces of matter something can be broken down into.
What properties are the same for ionic and covalent compound?
All compounds are made out of atoms of the same element or differed elements.
What contains two or more compounds?
A compound contains two or more chemical elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound which retains its chemical properties, but atoms of the same element can form molecules (e.g. oxygen is diatomic O-2, while O-3 is ozone).
Which is the smallest part of compound whose properties are same as of compound?
Molecule
What is the smallest part of an carbon with all the same properties is called?
An atom.
Name the smallest part of carbon with the same properties?
A carbon atom.
Are the properties of a compound the same of the properties of its elements?
the properties of a compound are not the same as the elements that form them.
Substances that result from the union of two or more different atoms is what?
Well the question I was asked was "The union of two or more atoms of the same element, or the smallest part of a compound that retains the compound's properties is called a(n)" A molecule.
What is the smallest unit of a molecular compound with the properties of that compound?
Smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
What do you call the smallest particle into which a covalently bonded compound can be divided and still be the same compound called?
Molecule is the smallest particle that still holds the same compound.
What is the smallest particle into which a covalently bonded compound can be divided and still be the same?
Molecule is the smallest particle that still holds the same compound.
The smallest whole unit into which a compound can be divided and still be that same compound is?
A molecule.
What is the smallest paticle of an element that has the same properties of the element?
An atom.
Is a yellow solid that always has the same properties and cannot be broken down an element or compound?
If it cannot be broken down and has the same properties, it is an element.
What is the difference between smallest particle of element and smallest particle of compound?
To understand, you first need to understand the difference between an element and a compound. An element is any element from the Periodic table. For example, oxygen. A compound is a substance in which more than one element are bonded chemically. This is not to be confused with a mixture, which is simple a mixture of substances with no chemical bonding. An example of a compound would be water, consisting of hydrogen and oxygen bonded together.Now that we've established to difference between an element and a compound, we can explore what the smallest particle of each is. The "smallest particle" is the smallest you can go while still keeping the properties of the original substance.The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. But when dealing with compounds, if you break them down to atoms, then those atoms don't have the same properties as a compound. The smallest particle of a compound is a molecule. In our example of water, a water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, chemically bonded together. The molecule, consisting of three atoms, has the chemical properties of water. But if you break it down so you just have an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, none of them would have the properties of the original compound (water).Thus, the smallest particle of an element is an atom, and the smallest particle of a compound is a molecule. The difference between the two is that an atom is an atom, and a molecule is two or more atoms chemically bonded.
