Compounds are pure substances formed from two elements (elements are pure as well) joining together. this creates a molecule, A compound is also known as a mixture of elements. these are only possible if the elements that form the molecule (compound) are pure. For example, a water molecule contains from two Hydrogen atoms combining with one Oxygen atom. This creates the compound known as H2O the 2 means that their are two Hydrogen atoms and since there is no subscript for Oxygen (Subscript=x or 2and so on)
Yes
The statement that all compounds have a composition of ionic compounds is false. Many compounds can be covalent in nature, where atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. On the other hand, it is true that compounds have a definite composition with fixed ratios of elements and compounds are formed by the bonding of two or more different elements.
properties of compounds are different than elements
Water; all living things require some water.
Some chemical compounds are sensitive to light. The dark colored bottle prevents light from getting to the contents. The same is true for things like beer and medicines.
No, all organic compounds contain carbon as their essential element. The definition of organic compounds is based on the presence of carbon atoms, although some inorganic compounds may also contain carbon.
False. Most minerals are compounds, which means that they are combinations of elements. Additionally, some minerals are elements by themselves.
Compounds.
true!
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
it is not true that some compounds can usually be indetified based solely on their physical properties.
this is not true
