How the properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make it up .Take the help of an example.?

If there is one kind of atoms in the molecule of a substance then it is a element.
Substance made of different types of atoms in the molecule are known as compounds.
So example of of molecule have only one kind of atoms.Example of compounds are those having one and more kind of atoms.

∙ 13y agoAll the chemical compounds has very different chemical and physical properties, compared with the chemical elements contained in the molecule.
Ex.: water is a liquid, oxygen and hydrogen are gases, and all the properties are extremely different.

∙ 11y agoWhen elements combine chemically to make a compound, the new compound may or may not have any property similar to the two original elements. Example Take water
Water (H2O) is a compound of Oxygen(O2) and Hydrogen(H2). However both oxygen and Hydrogen are gases while water is liquid. Oxygen tends to help burning process while water is used to stop most fires. Hydrogen when combined with oxygen tends to explode instantaneously, while water absorbs some oxygen and does not explode.

Sodium is a highly reactive alkali metal and chlorine is a toxic yellow-green gas, but when chemically combined they form the ionic compound sodium chloride, which is a nontoxic crystalline substance.

Does a compound contain elements combined in a specific ratio?
You think probable to a chemical compound.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a compound - has different properties from the elements that formed it or different samples have different properties?
Different samples of a compound will not have different properties, that is a characteristic of a rough mixture. Different samples of a compound will have the same properties.
A compound that is composed of only two elements is an?
A binary compound is one that is composed of two elements.
Is elements chemically combine they form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elememts?
No, compounds do not necessarily have similar properties to their uncompounded elements. Example: Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gasses at normal temperature and pressure, but their compound, dihydrogen oxide (water) is a very distinctly different substance.
Are compounds made from elements?
The properties of a compound is dictated by the elements from which it is madeof. The size and charge of the elements have a big impact on the physical and chemical properties of the compound. The spatialarrangement of the elements and the type of bonding between them also influences the properties of the compound.
Do compounds have the same properties from which they are made?
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.
Does a compound contain elements combined in a specific ratio?
You think probable to a chemical compound.
True or false A compounds properties depend on the elements it contains and how they are compare?
We can say that this is true to some extent.We must all agree that the properties of a compound DOES depend on the elements it contains since a variation in the elements changes the properties of the compound.However, what we must remember is that the properties of the compound does NOT depend on the properties of the elements that make up the compound.A simple example is water, made of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is very different from the elements indeed.
Do compound have properties unlike those of their elements?
yes. an example is salt. salt is an edible compound that is made of poisonus elements.
Are coins an example of compound?
Most coins are made of pure elements, like copper. A compound is a combination of elements which are chemically bonded together, so they have completely different properties. While coins can contain different metals, they are usually not bonded in this way.
Are the properties of a compound the same as the elements that form it?
Not always. For example sodium (Na), a metal that reacts violently with water, and chlorine (Cl), a yellow poisonous gas, combine to make table salt, which has none of these properties. But in others cases there are some similarities, like in a metal alloy.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a compound - has different properties from the elements that formed it or different samples have different properties?
Different samples of a compound will not have different properties, that is a characteristic of a rough mixture. Different samples of a compound will have the same properties.
A combination of two or more atoms that has physical and chemical properties that differ from the atoms that compose it is called?
I'm pretty sure is is a Compound. A compound is a substance that is made up of more than on element. The properties of matter mostly depend on how atoms of different elements are combined in compounds.
When elements form compounds do they take on new properties?
The properties from the original elements are all left behind; almost no compound shows any of the properties of its constituent elements (the most widely used example of this is sodium and chlorine forming sodium chloride).
Does a compound produce a new substance with unique qualities?
Compounds are made out of atoms of different elements. The properties are different than the properties of the constituent elements.For example, Water is made out of Hydrogen and Oxygen. Both Oxygen and Hydrogen are gasses at room temperature. Water is a liquid at room temperature with very different properties.
When two elements combine to form a compound do the elements keep the same properties they had as individuals or do they adapt with new properties as a compound?
They normally have new properties as a compound, example- sodium metal, extremely reactive, reacts violently with moisture; and chlorine gas, deadly poisonous, react together to form table salt-sodium chloride
A compound that is composed of only two elements is an?
A binary compound is one that is composed of two elements.
