What is formed when atoms of one element are combined with atoms of other elements?

A compound is formed. The most known about compound is obviously water. This is where 2 Hydrogen atoms combine with that of 1 Oxygen atom giving us H2O.
Not all combinations are possible though, due to them still being unstable and wanting to gain or lose electrons while attached to the others, changing the chemical composition to another as it connects to more atoms.

Examples are CO2 (two atoms of oxygen and one of carbon, which you exhale with each breath--in addition to lots of inert diatomic nitrogen gas), and H2O, which is a combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Another fun molecule is sodium chloride, NaCl, otherwise known as common table salt. Then, of course, there is the ever popular C2H5OH, a hydrocarbon chain with a hydroxyl attached at one end.
One of the most amazing molecules is deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short. Hundreds of thousands of atoms align in long spiral chains, twisted together in a strand called a double helix, to form the molecule essential for life on earth.

Would you define a substance as a compound or a mixture or an element?
It depends on the substance your are talking about. It could be a compound, mixture, or substance; depending on the substance. If it is an element off the periodic table, it is an element. If it is two elements chemmically combined, it is a compound. If it is two elements that are not chemically combined, it is a mixture.
What is formed when fluorine and sodium atoms are combined?
Sodium fluoride.
Substance in which all atoms are alike?
A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.
Why zero group elements are mono atomic?
Atoms of these elements do not combine with other atoms, even atoms of the same element, because their valence electron shells are full.
Why do different elements have different properties?
Elements have different properties because elements can be further divided than atoms and can be mixed by another element
What is water because it is formed from atoms of two element?
It is a Gas,and liquid Water is a COMPOUND because it is formed from atoms of two elements.
Elements are mixtures of What?
Elements are not mixtures of anything. An element contains only atoms of that elements and nothing else. A compound contains two or more elements which have been chemically combined to create a new substance with different chemical and physical properties to the elements from which it was formed.
Is an element composed of atoms of two or more compounds chemically combined?
Compounds are composed from elements.
What type of bond if formed if atoms donate electrons to other atoms when the elements are combined?
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
What type of bond is formed if atoms donate electrons to other atoms when the elements are combined?
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
What is an atom is it a molecule an element or a compound?
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. Atoms are the most basic units of an element that have the properties of that element. Atoms of elements combine to form molecules, which can be molecular compounds, and atoms of elements can combine to form ionic compounds, as well. Compounds contain atoms of two or more elements chemically combined.
Is a compound a kind of mixture?
yes because it is formed when atoms of two or more elements are combined.
What is created when chemicals reactions join atoms together?
If atoms of same element combine, we say that element is existing in its real state (or simply a molecule of that element is formed). If two atoms of different elements combine, a compound is formed.
What is created when chemicals reactions jion atoms togethter?
If atoms of same element combine, we say that element is existing in its real state (or simply a molecule of that element is formed). If two atoms of different elements combine, a compound is formed.
Why Elements are aleways combined in a compound with another element why does this occur?
That's because of the way "compound" is defined. If atoms of an element combine with other atoms of the SAME element, then it's not called a "compound".
All compounds are formed of what?
all compounds are formed of one or more elements..
Are molecules made up of atoms or combined elements?
Yes, atoms make up almost everything, they can only be broken down into protons, neutrons and electrons. An element is a substance found on the periodic table with certain rules and regulations given to each element. An element is made up only of atoms. A compound is a mixture of two or more elements that can be broken down into elements again, it is not a pure substance as such. So a compound is made up of elements, elements are made of atoms.
