Yes, but the process is not always easy. In some case a lot of energy might be needed.

For example, electrolysis can separate Na and Cl from NaCl but it has to be done at high temperatures using molten NaCl.

Can a compound be seperated into its consistent elements by physical methods?

Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.


Can gold be seperated into simpler substances only by chemical means?

Yes, gold can only be separated into simpler substances by chemical means. This typically involves using chemical reactions to break down the gold into its constituent elements or compounds. Physical methods, such as melting or crushing, will not separate gold into simpler substances.


What element do all chemical compounds contain?

A compound has two or more elements that are chemically combined. It cannot be easily separated which means that is a homogeneous. An example of this would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl.) :)


Are all matter made up of a mixture of elements and compounds?

Yes, all matter is composed of elements and compounds. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. Therefore, all matter is ultimately a combination of elements and compounds.


Can all elements form compounds?

Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )

What is the basic constituent of all organic matter?

Carbon is the basic constituent of all organic matter. Organic compounds are made up of carbon in combination with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements.


What element is a constituent of all organic compounds?

Carbon


What has properties unlike those of their elements?

Compounds have properties unlike those of their constituent elements, due to the chemical bonding that occurs between the elements to form a new substance with unique characteristics. This phenomenon is known as emergent properties, where the compound displays traits that are distinct from the individual elements it is composed of.


How is mixture different from compound?

Elements, compounds, and mixtures are all pretty similar things; however, they have aspects that allow the chemist to differentiate between the three chemistry concepts.An element consists of only one kind of atom.A compound consists of atoms from two or morekinds of elements that are bound together.A mixture consists of two or more different elements or compounds that have been physically combined.Both compounds and mixtures can be separated, but the difference is that compounds can only be chemically separated (and always retains the same amount of its components), whereas mixtures can only be physically separated (and it will contain most of its original components).

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).


All compounds are made from how many elements?

All compounds are made of two or more elements.


Is all matter is made of elements or compounds?

Matter include and others entities than elements and compounds.


Are all elements smaller than compounds?

yes because all elements make up compounds


What are compounds that are formed by elements?

Today are known approx. 65.106 chemical compounds.
