What can form compounds from nitrogen in the air?

Nitrogen in the air can form compounds with other elements, such as oxygen (to form nitrogen oxides), hydrogen (to form ammonia), and carbon (to form cyanide). These compounds play important roles in various chemical reactions and processes in the environment.


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.


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).


Are boron and iodine covalent or ionic compound?

Boron and iodine can form both ionic and covalent compounds. Boron typically forms covalent compounds, while iodine can form both covalent and ionic compounds depending on the specific elements it is bonding with.


What if in a reaction the ions of two compounds exchange places in aqueous solution to form two new compounds this reaction is called?

This type of reaction is called a double displacement reaction or a metathesis reaction. It involves the exchange of ions between two compounds to form two new compounds.
