How is elements related to compounds?
Elements are the "building blocks" used to "build" compounds. Elements are the "letters of the alphabet" with which the "words" of compounds are "written". Not perfect analogies, but they should give you an idea.
How many compounds can elements make?
You might think that there is some limit to the number of combinations of elements, but this is incorrect. There simply is no limit. It is rather like asking how many words can be made from the letters of the alphabet, except chemical compounds can be made from over 100 elements, and they can be arranged in loops and rings, and 3D shapes.
Elements are composed of atoms and compounds are composed of?
Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific atomic mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements. It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
Why is there more compounds than elements?
its the same like there are more words than letters and combo is more than none
How does the total number of elements compare to the total number of compounds?
There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million
What are facts about compounds?
1. -are 2 words2. -you use at least 1 every day , unless you dont talk3. - compound words are made up of 2 WORDS THAT ARE MORE THAN 3 LETTERS longexamples are------------ some-times and Web-kinz.com, a websitethere are only 100 or so elements but they can combine in different ways to form many millions of compounds
Why are elements considered to be the alphabet of matter?
It the same way that 26 letters of the Roman alphabet can be combined together to make all the words in the English language - and similarly for most other languages - elements can be combined to make compounds. Elements and compounds can form mixtures and these three types account for most normal matter.
Elements are the basic building blocks of matter how is it possible that there are hundreds of thousands of different kinds of matter when there are just 112 elements?
The large variety of matter comes from the different ways that elements can combine and bond together. Through chemical reactions, elements can form molecules and compounds with unique properties and structures. This allows for countless combinations and arrangements of elements to create the vast array of substances we see in the world.
Are compounds and elements pure substances?
Only if they contain no othercontaminants or in other words any substance other than the one you're talking about.It is possible to have a sample of an (almost) pure element, as it also is for compounds. Total purity is very very hard, however.
Explain how elements and compounds can form so many types of matter?
Elements and compounds can combine in different ways.One analogy is the way in which 26 letters of the alphabet used for English can come together to form tens of thousands of words, or the way in which ten digits, and a few symbols can make up all the numbers - infinitely many of them.
What are some compound words with mush class mate?
Some compound words that include "mush" are "mushroom" and "mushiness." For "classmate," related compound words include "classroom" and "classwork." These compounds combine different elements to create new meanings related to their root words.
When compound called molecule?
A compound is made up of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together. A molecule is the smallest unit of a compound that retains all the properties of that compound. In other words, all compounds are made up of molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
