What are four unique characteristics of a compound?

Answer 1

it is a made up of two simple sentences joined together

Answer 2

1. They always form from a specific combination of elements in a fixed ratio.

2. They are chemically and physically different than the elements that compromise them.

3. They cannot be broken down into simpler compounds or elements by physical means.

4. They can be broken down by chemical means into simpler compounds or into their original elements.

Answer 3

1)The components consist of 2 or more chemical elements.

2) Compounds have different properties from theelements they consist off..

3) The compounds can disintegrate, on high temperature, or under some other stress.

Answer 4

Here are some characteristics of compounds:

• Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements and they are all chemically bonded.
• The properties of a compound are different from the elements that make it up.
• Compounds can be broken back into elements by chemical reaction, exposure to light, etc.
• Compounds can be separated only chemically, not by physical means
• The mass of the compound is determined by the mass of the elements that make it up.
• When compounds are formed heat and light is given out or absorbed.

Answer 5

Examples: chemical composition, melting point, boiling point, corrosivity, inflammability, solubility, toxicity, specific heat, refractive index, density, chemical reactivity, color, magnetism, etc.

Answer 6

1. Composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together.
2. Has a fixed ratio of elements.
3. Displays unique chemical and physical properties different from its constituent elements.
4. Can be broken down into simpler substances through chemical reactions.
