H20 is a element?
Water is not an element, it is a compound. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements, but only if alone.
How does cobalt react with other elements?
cobalt is very hard, it is most likely for strength and durability
What element is Cl2O?
It wouldnt be an element it would be a molecules because it contains more than one atom. A single lone atom is an element, Cl-chlorine alone is an element, Cl2 is a molecules as it contains TWO atoms. Since Cl and O are different elements bonding together they formed a molecule but this molecule is also a compound due to the elements being different H2O is a compound and a molecule O2 is a molecule. As for the name of the COMPOUND not element it is named Dichlorine Monoxide. mon=1, di=2, tri=3 two chlorines so:Dichlorine, one oxygen so Monoxide, in chemistry compounds usually end in IDE because they only contain two elements.
What does O stand for in the periodic table?
O stands for oxygen on the periodic table of elements. But, like 6 other element it cannot ever be alone. These elements include H, O, F, Br, I, N, Cl--hydrogen, oxygen, bromine, iodine, nitrogen, and chlorine.O stands for oxygen
Is silver alloy a compound or element?
it is for sure a compound silver alone is an element but put with alloy it's therefore a compound.
H20 is a element?
Water is not an element, it is a compound. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements, but only if alone.
Is petroleum ether a element?
No, it is a molecule. Elements are stand-alone atoms.
Smallest particle of an element that can exist either alone or in combination?
A quark is what makes up atoms. Quarks cannot be found in nature and it is impossible to see even with the most powerful microscope in the world.
Is carbon dioxide an element?
No. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound made up of two elements: carbon and oxygen.
Is aluminum element mixture or compound?
Aluminium is itself an element. By itself, Aluminium cannot be a compound because a compound consists of two or more elements. Similarily, mixtures are two or more elements that are combined, but retain their chemical identities. If aluminium were part of an alloy (a combination of metals, which is what most aluminium products you see daily are actually made of) then it would be considered a mixture. To summarize: if you're only talking about Aluminium alone, then it is an element.
How does cobalt react with other elements?
cobalt is very hard, it is most likely for strength and durability
What do chemist mean when they refer to an element?
In regards to chemistry, an element is a substance that is composed of one type of atom only. The atoms of each element are unique to that element alone. These atoms vary in number of protons, electrons and neutrons. Examples are oxygen, carbon, gold, argon, etc. Elements come together to form molecules which comprise other substances. Water for example, is the combination of 2 atoms of the element hydrogen and one oxygen atom. Thus why we call it H2O.
What is the smallest section of an orchestra?
the piccolo, it is alone
Why can't diatomic elements exist on their own?
Diatomic molecules cannot exist on their own because if they are alone they are very unstable and will react with any element very quickly.
Most reactive non metal element?
I would easily say that Fluorine is the most reactive element in the world. Fluorine is the most electronegative of all elements and will react with all elements. It is so reactive that it cannot be found alone in nature.
Where is beryllium found in nature?
Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal and is not found alone in nature. It is typically found in combination with with other elements in minerals such as beryl and chrysoberyl. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
How did mendeleev explain blank spaces left in his periodic table?
On his Periodic Table Mendeleev left the blank spaces, because he thought there would be elements that would follow his pattern.
