Can two completely different compounds contain identical elements?
Bekana1
No. The chemical formulas for the two compounds would be different as the ratios were different. For example there are three different oxides of iron which obviously contain the same two elements but these are in different ratios:-
FeO
Fe3O4
Fe2O3

∙ 10y agoYes, of course two completely different compounds can contain identical elements. For example Sodium oxide and nitric acid; both compounds contain oxygen.

∙ 10y agoYes: The elements carbon and hydrogen can combine to form the many compounds known as hydrocarbons.

Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Compounds are made of bonding few elements. They could not have same properties as its component elements. They could have completely different properties.
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 elements do elements and compounds have in common?
Elements and compounds are both composed of atoms. Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
He said that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
He said that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine
Where are elements listed and why compounds are not found there?
Elements are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements. Compounds are not listed there because they are not elements they are compounds. An element is a substance made up of one type of atom, compounds are formed from combinations of different elements.
Are the properties of compounds identical to or different from the properties of the elements from which they are formed?
Yes, the properties of compounds are different from those of their component elements. For example, sodium metal and chlorine gas react to form the solid salt sodium chloride.
Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Compounds are made of bonding few elements. They could not have same properties as its component elements. They could have completely different properties.
Different compounds can be formed from similar elements?
Yes. And this might blow your mind but different compounds can even be formed from the same number and type of elements. Isomers! Example: Theobromine= vasodilator Theophylline= anti-inflammatory Same amount and type of elements, but arranged differently makes a completely different compound.
Can two box plots have the same range and IQR and yet have completely different data?
No. Four of the data elements must be identical.
Are compounds and elements a mixture?
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
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 elements do elements and compounds have in common?
Elements and compounds are both composed of atoms. Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
How are elements different?
Salts are chemical compounds not elements.
He said that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
He said that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine
Is . true about compounds?
properties of compounds are different than elements
Which scientist proposed that elements consisted of atoms were identical and had the same mass and that compounds were atoms from different elements combined together?
John Dalton first proposed this. Today, it's called Dalton's atomic theory.
Where are elements listed and why compounds are not found there?
Elements are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements. Compounds are not listed there because they are not elements they are compounds. An element is a substance made up of one type of atom, compounds are formed from combinations of different elements.
