Are the physical and chemical properties of a compound necessarily similar to those of the elements from which it was composed?

No. Take sodium chloride. Sodium is a metal that's flammable in air, and chlorine is a gas. Put them together, and you get nice inert crystals that are safe to eat.

Properties of components are replaced by new properties are a mixture or a compound?
When the properties of components are replaced by new properties they form a compound and not a mixture. Mixture retain their individual properties in variable proportions.Ê
What is a formula for pure compound substance?
A pure compound substance is one that is composed only of elemental equivalent atoms. Table salt, for example, is composed of sodium and chlorine atoms ionically bound to each other. That isn't exactly "pure" since it requires to atoms...so how about carbon? Carbon can exist in many states- it can be "locked" in, a la diamond, where the crystaline structure is too strong for normal molecules to break, or it can be graphite (also made of carbon), wherepon the simple act of friction causes layers of this atomic structure to stick.
What is the symbol of rubber?
If the question is in regard to the chemical symbol of rubber, rubber does not have a chemical symbol. This is because rubber is a chemical compound rather than a single chemical element. Many rubber compounds are hydrocarbons (composed of carbon and hydrogen), and there are many, many different rubber compounds. A general division of rubbers is that between natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and these have been developed over years to suit a wide variety of applications.
A substance made up of two or more elements are called?
molecule/s Compound Covalent Compound Ionic Compound or just a plain mixture. Metallic elements can be made into an alloy. Non Metallic elements might be made into a glass or ceramic
What is a combination of two or more elements called?
A combination of two or more elements is called a compound. These elements are held together by chemical bonds and can be separated using chemical reaction.
How is the compound sodium chloride different from the elements of which it is composed?
sodium chloride as a compound has different physical and chemical properties than sodium and chloride not mixed together
What has different properties than the elements from which they are made?
A substance that has properties different from the chemical elements in it is a chemical compound. A chemical compound is built from chemical elements that are chemically bonded together. And the "finished product" will have chemical properties that are unique to that compound, and different from the properties of the substances that make it up.

A substance composed of two or more elements?
A molecule; the definition is: The smallest particle of a substance that retains the chemical and physical properties of the substance and is composed of two or more atoms; a group of like or different atoms held together by chemical forces.
What statement can be made when compairing the chemical and physical properties between a compound and the elements from which it is formed?
The chemical and physical properties of a compound are different than those of the elements from which it is formed.
Does a compound contain elements combined in a specific ratio?
You think probable to a chemical compound.
