Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
Is oxygen and hydrogen combined a molecular compound?
Water, H2O, is a molecule of hydrogen and oxygen. It is considered a compound. That said, yes, oxygen and hydrogen combine to make a compound that is represented by the molecule H2O.
What form ( what compound) is the carbon in?
None. If carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen happen to chemically combine, they form an organic compound. 'Compound', not element. (These 3 substances are each an element).
Is liquid oxygen a compound?
Oxygen (O) is an element. O2 gas is NOT an element. Its a Molecule. When two simillar atoms come together, they form molecule. When Dissimilar atoms join, they for compounds. Ex : H2O
Why does the oxygen symbol O not have a subscript?
Because symbols for the elements do not have subscripts. A subscript is added in the chemical formula of a compound to indicate how many atoms of the element are included in a molecule of the compound. For example, when hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) combine to form water (H2O), a subscript 2 is added to the H to indicate there are two hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water, but no subscript is added to the O, because there is only one oxygen atom is in a molecule of water.
Can a element be a molecule?
Yes; for example, two oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule.
Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
Is ozone an element a mixture or a compound?
O3 is a molecule / compound, not element
A substance composed of two or more atoms?
When two or more atoms combine, the product is a molecule.Examplestwo oxygen atoms combine to form a molecule of oxygen O2two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom combine to form a molecule of water H2OIf there are two or more elements in the molecule, the substance is a compound. Water is a compound; oxygen is not.
The new substance formed when elements combine chemically n?
When elements combine chemically compounds are formed. For instance, when hydrogen and oxygen gases chemically combine, water is formed. Note that if a molecule is made up of only one element, it is referred to as an element, not a compound.
What can you combine oxygen with to form a compound?
we can combine any other element or even an compound witw it like hydrogen+oxygen=water
Is oxygen and hydrogen combined a molecular compound?
Water, H2O, is a molecule of hydrogen and oxygen. It is considered a compound. That said, yes, oxygen and hydrogen combine to make a compound that is represented by the molecule H2O.
Is oxygen classified as a compound?
Oxygen is a chemical element; the molecule is diatomic, O2.
What do you get when you combine 2 atoms of oxygen?
An oxygen molecule (O2) This is the form that oxygen usually takes as a pure element.
What a compound in chemistry?
A compound is a material that contains atoms of more than one element bound in a single molecule. Example | Hydrogen (H) is an Element and Oxygen (O) is an Element but the Water molecule (H2O) is a Compound containing the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
Is carbon dioxide an element or a molecule?
Its a molecule because it is made up of 1 part Carbon(element) and 2 parts Oxygen(element). These elements combine to form a molecule
Why is a compound different from an element?
a compound is many elements mashed together into one. water is H2O and is a compound. H2 for 2 hydrogen molecules, and O for 1 oxygen molecule. Oxygen is an element. When you give 1 oxygen molecule 2 hydrogen molecules it becomes a compound.
