There are over 67 million organic and inorganic substances and 63 million protein and DNA sequences recognized by the American Chemical Society's CAS Registry. It is estimated that 12,000 new substances are added to the list daily.
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.
Knowing lithium's oxidation number allows us to predict how many electrons it will lose or gain when forming compounds. Lithium typically has an oxidation number of +1, so it tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This helps determine the types of compounds it will form, such as lithium oxide (Li2O) or lithium carbonate (Li2CO3).
Silicon forms silicon dioxide, which is the compound found in most rocks and minerals, as well as in sand and quartz.
The suffix of binary compounds typically depends on the type of bond present. For ionic compounds, the suffix is usually "-ide" (e.g. sodium chloride). For covalent compounds, the suffix may indicate the number of atoms present (e.g. dioxide for CO2).

There are too many. There are a lrge number of organic compounds in potatoes, the oild in which they are fried are also not homogeneous compounds.
Blood is not a element. Atomic number is about protons. Number of protons in a atom.
There are at least theoretically an infinite number of possible zinc compounds.
There are millions of different types of compounds, ranging from simple molecules like water (H2O) to complex organic compounds like proteins and DNA. The exact number of different types of compounds is difficult to pinpoint due to the vast number of possible combinations of elements.
Crude oil consists of thousands of different compounds, including hydrocarbons, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds. The exact number of compounds in crude oil can vary depending on its source and composition.
The oxidation number for oxygen in most compounds is -2.
No. There are a number of compounds that are soluble in water, but there are a large number of compounds and substances that are not.

Yes. Carbon has many compounds and a number of allotropes where it forms rings.
This situation is normal. The number of chemical elements is smaller compared to the number of chemical compounds.
