In that case, scientists talk about different "allotropes". For example, graphite and diamond are different varieties of carbon - the same atoms, in a different arrangement.

What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
What is the difference between uranium and einsteinium?
Uranium is a natural element, einsteinium an artificial element; al the chemical and physical properties are different.
Why would you expect lithium and sulfur to have different chemical and physical properties?
Because they both have a different number of valence electrons in their outer shells, and that is what determines the properties of the element.
How can substances that contain that same element have very different properties?
Because not only one element in a chemical compound counts for the chemical/physical prperties.
At STP the element oxygen can exist as either O2 or O3 gas molecules These two forms of the element have?
different chemical and physical properties
What are the different forms of an element in the same physical state but different structures and properties?
Allotropes
What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?
The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.
An element that can have different physical properties or chemical arrangement is called an?
allotrope
Why don't compounds have the same chemical properties that form them?
Because an element is an element and a molecule is a molecule; they are different chemical entities and of course they have different chemical and physical properties.
How do the physical properties of isotopes of the same element compare?
The number of neutrons is different; the differences between physical properties exists but are extremely small.
Why is each element different on the periodical table?
Because the number of protons and electrons are different in each element, which means that their chemical and physical properties are different.
Is isotopes of same element have same properties?
The differences in chemical properties are not significant (excepting protium and deuterium); the physical properties are different.
Coal is coal and diamond is diamond but coal is not a diamond?
Correct.Although they are based on the same element (carbon) they have vastly different structures and atomic arrangements, resulting in very different physical and chemical properties. Such forms are known chemically as allotropes.
What is different about the isotopes of a particular element?
The number of neutrons in the atoms. This affect some physical properties.
Why do istopes have different physical properties but same chemical properties?
They have similar chemical properties because isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons as an atom of that element. The electron arrangement is the same owing to same chemical properties. However they have different numbers of neutrons, which affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density etc.
What is the difference between uranium and einsteinium?
Uranium is a natural element, einsteinium an artificial element; al the chemical and physical properties are different.
