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.

How does elements combine to form elements why not compounds?
Elements combine to form compounds through chemical bonding, where atoms of different elements share or exchange electrons to achieve a stable configuration. This results in the formation of compounds with distinct properties different from the elements that make them up. Elements, on the other hand, do not combine to form other elements because they are unique substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical reactions.
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form compounds through chemical reactions. These compounds have different properties than their individual elements, resulting in a wide range of substances found in nature and synthesized in laboratories.
Are compounds random combinations of elements?
No, compounds are not random combinations of elements. Compounds are formed when elements chemically bond together in specific ratios to create a new substance with unique properties. The elements combine in a structured manner based on their chemical properties and bonding tendencies.
How do elements join to from compounds?
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
What are some covalent compounds with more than three elements?
Nucleic acids would be one example of a covalent compound with more than 3 elements. Proteins have more than 3 elements as well. Many organic compounds do, it is quite common.
What compounds make up the element cadmium?
No compounds make up elements. Elements make up compounds, so there are no compounds in cadmium since it is an element.
Elements are combined to make compounds?
Yes, chemical compounds are made up of elements combined together.
What element is a bug made out of?
A bug is a living organism. It is made of many, many elements arranged in many different ways to make many chemical compounds. There will hundreds of compounds within the structure of this member of the insect family. There are no bugs made out of one or two or three elements. It takes dozens of elements to make up those many compounds that form the bug.
Millions of organic compounds are made from approximately how many elements?
You can make most organic compounds with just 4 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
What compound does arsenic make when combined with other elements?
It depends on what elements it combines with and in what arrangement. There are many compounds of arsenic.
Are all elements smaller than compounds?
yes because all elements make up compounds
How do you millions of compounds be made from the atom of about 100 elements?
There are so many combinations . Thee are many ways of combining
All compounds are made from how many elements?
All compounds are made of two or more elements.
How many elements are used to make up million of compounds?
A relatively small number of elements, around 90 out of the over 100 naturally occurring elements on the periodic table, are used to make up millions of compounds. This is due to the unique chemical properties of these elements, which allow for a wide variety of combinations and bonds to form between them, resulting in the vast number of compounds that exist.
How are elements and compounds similar to each other?
Both elements and compounds are made up of atoms. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined in fixed ratios. Both elements and compounds have unique physical and chemical properties based on the composition of their atoms.
Compare and contrast elements and compounds?
a compound is made up of 2 or more types of atoms . atoms are smaller. u know what im sayin. listen, chemistry ain't a bowl of lemons . u gata wrk for it brotha
Which elements are in the foloowing compounds lithium phosphide?
many compounds are found
