How is one element distinguished from another element?
It partly depends on how much you have. For example, it would be easy to tell the difference between silver and gold if you had enough of each. Similarly you could easily tell the difference between tin and hydrogen. But if you onlyhad a few atoms of each it would not be easy. You could try to combine the elements with another element and dissolve the residual companound in water and do a chromatograhy test on each one.
Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Yes, a compound can have different properties than its component elements because the arrangement of atoms in a compound leads to new chemical properties that are not necessarily present in the individual elements. For example, sodium (a highly reactive metal) and chlorine (a toxic gas) combine to form sodium chloride (table salt), which has unique properties compared to its component elements.
How did lavoisier distinguish between compounds and elements?
Lavoisier distinguished between compounds and elements by conducting experiments to show that compounds can be broken down into simpler substances, while elements cannot be further broken down by chemical means. He also proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that the total mass of substances present before a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass after the reaction, providing further evidence for the distinction between compounds and elements.
What if the periodic table was rearranged based on a different organizing principle"?
If the periodic table was rearranged based on a different organizing principle, the elements would be grouped together in a different way than they are currently. This could potentially change our understanding of the relationships between elements and how they interact with each other.
What is a combination of elements?
A combination of elements is a process of chemically bonding two or more elements together.
What is Dalton's model of an atom described as?
Dalton's theory was based on the principal that the atoms of different elements that could be distinguished by differences in their weights. In 1803, at the Royal Institution He stated this theory.

When this element combines with other elements it usually gives up its one valence electron?
Could be many different elements
Why were the different media accounts of the Stern Report so different from each other?
Different news outlets could make use of different media elements

How could two points 35 degrees north of the equator- one in North America and the other in China - be distinguished using map coordinates?
Their different longitudes differentiate between them.
How do you generate power through sound?
Sound is caused by vibrations, and (at least experimentally) energy could be derived from the variance in transmitted vibrations.
What are the similarities between mixtures and compounds?
the similarities between compounds and mixtures are that they are both made up of two or more elements and that they could both be separated and then mixed with different elements to make a new mixture and compound.
Which characteristic could distinguished a crystalline solid from an amorphous solid?
The way it breaks
How many different elements in a grain of sand?
It depends upon the source of the sand. Mostly sand is Silicon and Oxygen, but it could contain iron and other metallic elements.
How could two points 35 degrees north of the equator -one in north America and the other in China be distinguished using map coordinates?
The two points could be distinguished using longitude coordinates. Each point will have a different longitude value, which is the measurement east or west of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude). By comparing the specific longitude values, you can differentiate the point in North America from the one in China.
How can two compounds made from the same elements be different?
The difference could be in the proportions of the elements or in the structure of the compounds There are three iron oxides where the proportions of the elements are different, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4 There are two isomers of butane C4H10 , two structural forms, n-butane and iso-butane.
