Almost any element, including the heavier noble gases, can form a molecular compound (if chelated cations are considered molecular as most chemists would), but the vast majority of such compounds are composed of nonmetals.

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).
How does elements combine to form elements why not compounds?
Elements are pure samples of only one type of atom. By definition, elements combing make a compound. You cannot have a pure combination of something.
Can an element be part of a heterogeneous mixture?
An element can definitely be part of a heterogeneous mixture. Many elements when put together can make up a heterogeneous mixture.
Are carbon hydrogen and oxygen carbohydrates?
No. On their own they are elements. Carbohydrates do consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, but these elements can combine to make other compounds as well.
What types of atoms are involved in molecular compounds?
atoms that form molecular compounds form them :) A molecular compound is a compound composed of molecules. Two or more atoms make a molecule. The molecules of a molecular compound contains atoms that are convalently bonded.
What kind of compounds do elements make when the combine?
The entire range of chemical compounds available in the universe
What kind of particles make up compounds?
Compounds are composed of elements. Elements are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons).
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 is the difference from an element from a compound?
Compounds are made of elements. Elements are the smallest units of the compounds. Elements are bond to make compounds.
How do the properties of compounds compare to the properties of the individual elements that make up the compound?
Compounds cannot be separated by physical means while elements are made up of only one kind of matter.
Are all elements smaller than compounds?
yes because all elements make up compounds
How are elements and compounds similar to each other?
Elements make up compounds and chemical bonds! :) have a nice day
Do elements combine to make compounds?
yes
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
How can two compounds make from the same element be different?
Isomers are compounds that exist in different molecular arrangements of atoms of the same elements and having identical atomic weights. Although isomers of a compound contain the same atoms in their molecules, the atoms are arranged in a different molecular structure and the isomers may differ in their physical, chemical, and biological properties.
Is a birds nest a compound?
No, a birds nest is a structure. Each of its componenet parts maintains its separate ideneity. A compound is the result of elements or compounds uniinge at an atomic or molecular level to make a new material.
