Explain why it is futile to try to create gold by combining other elements?

It is futile to create gold by combining other elements because gold is a unique element with a specific number of protons in its nucleus (atomic number 79). Changing the number of protons would change the element entirely, making it impossible to create gold by combining different elements. The process of transmuting elements to create gold would require immense energy and is not feasible with current technology.


Are compounds listed in the periodic table?

No, compounds are not listed in the periodic table. The periodic table lists elements, which are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Compounds are formed when elements combine chemically in specific ratios.


A notion that shows what elements a compound contains and the ratio of the atoms or ions of these elements in the compound?

A chemical formula shows what elements a compound contains, and the ratio of the atoms or ions of the elements in the compound.


What is formed by the combining of elements or other compounds through chemical reactions?

A compound is formed by the combining of elements or other compounds through chemical reactions. Compounds are made up of molecules that contain two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. These chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms.


What is the chemical formula of the compound made by combining calcium and oxygen Use Lewis structures to help you decide your answer?

The compound formed by combining calcium and oxygen is calcium oxide, with the chemical formula CaO. The Lewis structure for CaO shows a calcium atom with two electrons transferred to an oxygen atom, resulting in a stable ionic bond between the two elements.
