Are the properties of a compound the same as the elements that form it?

Not always. For example sodium (Na), a metal that reacts violently with water, and chlorine (Cl), a yellow poisonous gas, combine to make table salt, which has none of these properties. But in others cases there are some similarities, like in a metal alloy.

Do compounds have the same properties from which they are made?
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.
What are properties of elements compounds and mixtures?
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 meansThe 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.Compounds have definite proportions.
What is the repeating pattern of elements of their properties called?
The repeating pattern of elements of their properties is called periodicity. Elements are arranged according to same chemical properties.
Is a yellow solid that always has the same properties and cannot be broken down an element or compound?
If it cannot be broken down and has the same properties, it is an element.
What is the smallest unit of a molecular compound with the properties of that compound?
Smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
Are the properties of a compound the same of the properties of its elements?
the properties of a compound are not the same as the elements that form them.
Do not have the same properties as the elements that formed them?
True. Compounds do not have the same properties as the elements that form them.
When two elements combine to form a compound do the elements keep the same properties they had as individuals or do they adapt with new properties as a compound?
They normally have new properties as a compound, example- sodium metal, extremely reactive, reacts violently with moisture; and chlorine gas, deadly poisonous, react together to form table salt-sodium chloride
If two elements bond are the properties of the 2 elements the same or different from the newly formed compound?
the compound has properties that are different from the two elements the bonded, as it is a new substance
How do physical and chemical property's change when element becomes a compound or a mixture?
When elements combine to form compounds than the properties of elements are not pre demoninantly the same in them whether chemical or physical while in the form of mixture elements retain their properties.
Could a compound have the same properties as its component elements?
Compounds are made of bonding few elements. They could not have same properties as its component elements. They could have completely different properties.
Do compounds not have the same properties as the elements that formed them?
True. Compounds do not have the same properties as the elements that form them.
Does a chemical compound maintain the same properties as its parent elements?
Not, it is not a correct answer.
When elements combine to form compounds their properties change?
The chemical properties of atoms are significantly changed when they form compounds. When elements combine to form compounds it is called a chemical reaction. The compound is then a collection of molecules and each molecule has are still the same atoms as one started with, but the arrangement of the electrons in the atoms has changed.
What properties are the same for ionic and covalent compound?
All compounds are made out of atoms of the same element or differed elements.
What elements have the same properties as xenon?
No two elements have the same properties.
Do compounds have the same properties from which they are made?
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.
