There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million

∙ 12y agoThe number of compounds is very much greater than the number of isotopes, which is greater than the number of elements. The number of distinct kinds of atoms is the same as the number of isotopes.

∙ 15y agothere are more possible compounds than elements in the world
Wiki User
∙ 12y agothe number of compounds is greater than the number of elements.. just like the letters of alphabet combine to form words, elements combine to form a large number of compounds
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe number of isotopes is greater, because every element has at least one isotope and most elements have more than one.

How does the number of neutrons in the reactant compare with the total number of neutrons in the products?
Neutrons have nothing to do with the reactions; reactions are elements changing configuration (sometimes the amount of compounds goes up, which raises the total number of elements, but the subscript never changes (ie h2o could become 2h2o, but not h3o or h2o2)
