One element takes the place of another in a compound.
Adding a proton to an element changes its atomic number, resulting in a new element. This can affect its chemical properties and reactivity.
When a radioactive element decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation (such as alpha or beta particles). The decay changes the element into a different element or isotope, which may also be radioactive. This process continues until a stable non-radioactive element is formed.
When an element burns, its mass remains the same. The burning process involves a chemical reaction that rearranges the atoms of the element, but the total mass of the element before and after burning remains constant, according to the law of conservation of mass.
The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element.

Single-displacement reaction
One element takes the place of another in a compound.
Silver is a metalic chemical element.
Yes, hydrogen gas is a compound. It is made up of molecules which consist of two atoms of hydrogen, an element. It just happens that the same name is used for the gas as for the element.
It depends upon what elements X and Y are, but under certain circumstances, it could yield compound XY.
something happens i don't know
In a proportional combination, a chemical reaction takes place forming a compound.
This depends upon the element.
No. In a displacement reaction, that is exactly what happens. If an element low down in the reactivity series is in a compound, and you add an element that is higher placed in the reactivity series. The more reactive element will displace the less reactive element in the compound.Example:Copper Sulphate - Copper is low in the reactivity series and is in a compoundSodium + Copper Sulphate - Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than copper, and is in it's pure elemental form.Copper + Sodium Sulphate - The Sodium that is higher in the reactivity series has switched places with the Copper, which is lower in the reactivity series.FULL EQUATION:Sodium + Copper Sulphate --> Copper + Sodium Sulphate
For example, Take Sodium and carbon = Sodium carbonate Na C = Na2C 1 2 There is a formula for each element or compound. Hope I helped you.
When an element in Group IIA (such as calcium or magnesium) reacts with an element in VIIA (such as fluorine or chlorine), they form ionic compounds. The Group IIA element will lose electrons to the Group VIIA element, creating ions with opposite charges that attract each other to form a stable compound. These ionic compounds are typically white solids at room temperature.
it depends on which elements you are combineing
