∙ 11y agoYes. This is called nuclear fission. In a controlled reaction, a great deal of heat is generated and it is often used to generate electrical power. In an uncontrolled reaction, mushroom clouds bloom, things get vaporized, large areas of real-estate get flattened and rendered unlivable.

What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
How do you determine the number of elements using the formula of a compound?
an element is a single substance while a compound is made up of multiple elements. Theirs no way to now how many elements form to make a compound... only through a microscope/
Is NaHO a element or compound?
NaOCl is a compound because it is composed of three elements. If it's not on the periodic table, then it's not an element. Na, O, and Cl are on the periodic table, so they are elements. When they combine, they form compounds.
What event must take place to separate a compound into separate elements?
electrolysis electrolysis electrolysis electrolysis electrolysis
Do the elements in a compound retain their original properties?
In most cases, when two elements form a compound, the new compound has a set of chemical properties that are entirely different from its reactants. However, in the case of diatomic compounds, such as O2, then yes, the compound retains the properties of its elemental parts.
Can element of compound can be seprated?
Sure. For example, electrolysis will separate the elements hydrogen and oxygen which form the compound water.
The atoms of two different elements react together to form a compound why is it difficult to separate the two elements when this has happened?
because they are chemically joined together and it is difficult to separate them
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
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.
How can you separate the elements in a compound using electricity?
To separate the elements in a compound using electricity, one must first know that this is dangerous and should only be done by science professionals. First electrical currents are applied to the compound and then kept there until the compound separates. As the compounds heat up they will begin to separate.
Is a hamburger compound?
A hamburger is a compound, something that is composed of two or more separate elements, it is a mixture
When elements are combined what will they form?
a compound
How does two elements make a compound?
After a chemical reaction two elements form a chemical compound.
How do the elements of a compound form?
Elements combine together by chemical bonding to form compounds.
When two elements join chemically to form a compound the overall charge on the compound will be plus 1?
No, when two elements join chemically to form a compound the product is neutral.
One or more elements can combine to form a compound when elements form compounds?
Yes, it is correct.
When two elements bind they form a?
compound
