What are substances made of?
The fingernails are made of hardened cells of the epidermis, your outer skin layer. The cells have keratinized into a hardened, scalelike covering to protect the tips of your fingers, and the edges help you to pick up small objects.
Where did the energy in wood originally come from?
The wood is made of organic carbon compounds produced when the tree grew, using carbon from the carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere and energy from the Sun's light to split the carbon from the oxygen. When the wood is burnt the carbon is recombined with more oxygen from the atmosphere to produce more CO2, and the original energy which came from the Sun is then released as heat.
How do you use the word electron in a sentence?
The electron has a negative charge and orbits the positively charged atomic nucleus. Many compounds are made possible by electron sharing between elements.
What was Dalton's four proposals or therories?
Elements are made of tiny particles called atomsAll atoms of a given element are identical (Proven wrong)The atoms of a given element are different from any other element (Not completely true)Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of another element to form chemical compounds
How can there be so many different kinds of substances in the world?
There are so many different atoms or atoms with different numbers of protons which makes different elements or different substances. Everything is chemical and made up of chemical reactions. And the chemicals are all made up of atoms. Atoms combine to form elements, and elements combine to make up compounds and mixtures. For example, water. Hydrogen, an element itself, combines itself to another chemicals, which is Oxygen, to make a compound. Which gives you the result with water. Everything in the world is made up of chemical reactions. Some come naturally and most are made with mixtures and compounds. As you may know, there are tons of individual elements and when they are combine into bigger compounds they turn into substances like liquid, gas, or solid. It's all part of chemical reactions.
How are elements and compounds connected?
Compounds are made up of two different kinds of elements. An example: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is made up of the elements Carbon and Oxygen.
Are elements made out of compounds?
No, the other way around. Kind of. Elements are made of compounds of atoms.
Water sugar salt and carbon dioxide are?

Made from elements other than carbon?
There are many things made from elements other than carbon such as carbonless paper. Jewelry is also typically not made with carbon.
Inorganic compounds are usually mad from elements other than what?
Inorganic compounds - usually made from elements other than
Can mixtures be made of elements and compounds?
Yes look at air it has oxygen and nitrogen(elements) and carbon dioxide(compound)
The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately how many elements?
The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately 115 elements!
Millions of organic compounds are made from approximately how many elements?
You can make most organic compounds with just 4 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
How do elements relate to compounds?
Chemical compounds are formed from chemical elements.
What elements are essential to life what are their chemical symbols?
Every living being is made of organic compounds. All the organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen. Other than that, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur are present in them.
What is Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen made from?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are elements and so they are made of themselves.
