What is apure substance?
A pure substance is a substance that consists of either a single chemical element, or two or more elements chemically bonded in a fixed ratio. In other words a pure substance is either an element or a compound.
How many elements are made of single atom?
All elements are made up of a single atom. This is the defining characteristic that makes it an element as opposed to a compound.
Is lactose a element or compound?
Ionic means the elements are joined by connecting with electrons, and everything is molecular. Molecular means something to do with molecules, which is a single compound, which can be carbon dioxide to, zinc oxide. Elements is a single pure element from the Periodic Table, like oxygen,carbon, florine, zinc, iron etc. Compound is a group of these elements bonded through either ionic or covalent bonding. So lactose is just a compound that has joined both ionically and covalently
How do new compounds form when reactants combine?
New compounds can form through single replacement, double replacement, decomposition, synthesis, or combustion. Single replacement is where a compound reacts with an element and the element replaces one of the other elements within the compound. Double replacement is where a compound reacts with another compound and one element from each compound swaps places with the other element from the other compound to form brand new compounds. Synthesis is where two elements react with each other to form a compound. Decomposition is where a compound breaks into the elements that form it. Combustion is where oxygen combines with another compound to produce CO2 and H2O.
Is dirt a element or compound?
Dirt is a mixture. Only what appears on the Periodic Table are elements, and as dirt is a combination of many things it has no single chemical composition so it is not a compound.
What is the diference between a compound and an element?
An element is a single substance where as a compound is a combination of elements eg germanium is an element where as germanium arsenide is a compound....!

Is ice tea a mixture compound or an element?
ice tea is a mixture compound because it is made up of more than one elements and is not a single pure element.

element
What is a sample of a matter either single element or a single compound that has a definite chemical and physical properties?
a pure substance. :)
How do you determine the number of elements using the formula of a compound?
an element is a single substance while a compound is made up of multiple elements. Theirs no way to now how many elements form to make a compound... only through a microscope/
What is the process called when a compound is made directly from the element in it?
Its called a compound. When 2 elements come together they will sometimes be able to form a compound. a compound is 2 elements formed together to make 1 single substance.
