Potash mining typically involves extracting potassium salts such as potassium chloride (KCl) or potassium sulfate (K2SO4). These compounds are commonly used in fertilizers to improve crop yields.
Highly reactive elements easily react with other substances in the environment, forming compounds rather than existing in their pure form. This is why it is rare to find pure samples of highly reactive elements in the ground.
False. Many elements easily react, such as those in the Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metals, VI, and halogen groups. Other elements react only under the right conditions, such as the transition metals. Some elements, such as the noble gases, do not react or react only under very stringent conditions.
There are 118 chemical elements, give or take, as the heaviest are extremely unstable and difficult to synthesize and identify. As for chemical compounds, there are many millions of them, with tens of thousands of new ones being synthesized each year.
Elements in which the d-sublevel is being filled have properties such as variable oxidation states, colored compounds, and the ability to form complex ions due to the arrangement of electrons in the d orbitals. These elements typically exhibit metallic behavior and can form transition metal compounds with unique chemical and physical properties.
Plutonium does form binary compounds with other elements, but its preference for being in a binary compound depends on the specific properties of the element it is reacting with. For example, plutonium can form stable binary compounds with oxygen and other elements, but it also has a tendency to form complex compounds due to its unique chemical behavior.
No, elements are not always part of an organic compound. Elements can exist in various forms and compounds, both organic and inorganic. Organic compounds are defined by the presence of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, but elements themselves are not restricted to being part of organic compounds.
Highly reactive elements easily react with other substances in the environment, forming compounds rather than existing in their pure form. This is why it is rare to find pure samples of highly reactive elements in the ground.
Periodic table lists elements and not compounds. Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements. Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20). However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form. --- Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.
False. Many elements easily react, such as those in the Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metals, VI, and halogen groups. Other elements react only under the right conditions, such as the transition metals. Some elements, such as the noble gases, do not react or react only under very stringent conditions.
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen with Nitrogen being the 4th.
You might think that there is some limit to the number of combinations of elements, but this is incorrect. There simply is no limit. It is rather like asking how many words can be made from the letters of the alphabet, except chemical compounds can be made from over 100 elements, and they can be arranged in loops and rings, and 3D shapes.

Air is a MIXTURE of COMPOUNDS and ELEMENTS. The compounds being :- Carbon dioxide (CO2) Water (H2O) The elements being :- Oxygen (O2) Nitrogen (N2) Helium (He) Neon(Ne) Argon (Ar) Ozone (O3 ; At high altitudes). This is NOT a complete list of compounds and elements that form the atmosphere. There are many more trace compounds and elements present.
Yes. They're very reactive, with fluorine (a halogen) being the most reactive of all elements.
