Yes. Examples:
Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water. 2H2 + O2 -->2H2O
Lithium reacts with nitrogen to form lithium nitride. 6Li + N2--> 2Li3N
Aluminum reacts with bromine to form aluminum bromide. 2Al + 3Br2 --> 2AlBr3
Yes. Compounds can undergo chemical changes to become elements. An example would be the following: Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) ===> ZnCl2(aq) + Cu(s). THe CuCl2 is a compound and it is changed into the element Cu(s) and also into zinc chloride.
No, inner electrons are not typically involved in chemical changes. They are tightly bound to the nucleus and do not participate in the bonding or interactions that drive chemical reactions. It is mainly the outer electrons, or valence electrons, that are involved in chemical changes.
Elements can form bonds with each other to create compounds, where atoms are held together by chemical forces. In their pure form, elements can exist as atoms existing without any chemical bonding, such as in the case of noble gases.
Elements on the right side of the periodic table, such as fluorine, oxygen, and chlorine, are more likely to become negative ions (anions) because they tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Elements with a full outer electron shells are usually found in group 18/8 on the periodic table, also known as 'Noble Gases'. But during a chemical reaction the element may gain or lose electrons in order to become stable. These atoms are called 'Ions'
Elements become compounds after chemical reactions.
An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.
Yes. Compounds can undergo chemical changes to become elements. An example would be the following: Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) ===> ZnCl2(aq) + Cu(s). THe CuCl2 is a compound and it is changed into the element Cu(s) and also into zinc chloride.
If two elements are chemically combined, they become a compound which will have totally different chemical and physical characteristics than either of the two original elements.
Metals typically become cations by losing electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. Transition metals and main group metals are common examples of elements that form cations.
A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together. It has a unique chemical structure and properties different from its constituent elements. Examples include water (H2O) and salt (NaCl).
Reactants are the substances that are present at the beginning of a chemical reaction and undergo a transformation to form new products. They are the starting materials that are consumed during the reaction process.
Yes in the sense that you can have a compound and add a chemical or element to it in order to remove an atom from the compound, thus returning it to its elemental form. For example, KI + Li --> LiI + K. The Potassium (K) was in a compound but is now alone in its elemental form after the reaction. (Lithium can replace Potassium because it is more reactive. See the Activity Series for more info on that).
No, elements are defined by the number of protons they have and the periodic table contains all the elements up to over 100 protons, much past this point they become very unstable and radioactively decay into lighter (less protons in the nucleus) atoms. Elements this heavy do not occur naturally so we would not find them on the moon.
No, inner electrons are not typically involved in chemical changes. They are tightly bound to the nucleus and do not participate in the bonding or interactions that drive chemical reactions. It is mainly the outer electrons, or valence electrons, that are involved in chemical changes.
Because there is no chemical reaction, the properties of the elements and compounds do not change when they form a mixture.
Elements can form bonds with each other to create compounds, where atoms are held together by chemical forces. In their pure form, elements can exist as atoms existing without any chemical bonding, such as in the case of noble gases.
