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/
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
Is copper oxide an element or a compound?
Copper is a chemical element. It can be a compound but copper is usually known as a chemical element.
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.
How does knowing lithium's oxidation number help determine what compounds it will form?
The Oxidation number is determined by how many electrons are lost and gained. So, when gaining combining the elements you use the oxidation numbers to predict your compound.
The elements what determines how the compound will be formed?
The way in which elements bond to form compounds depends on the arrangement and number of electrons in the atoms. This is what will determine the type of boding that elements will form.
What determines how the compound will form in an element?
protons

When elements are combined what will they form?
a compound
How many elements dos compounds form?
Well, erm... I'm not sure what you really mean, but the number of elements in a compound varies and can range up to any number.
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.
