When an element enters into a compound, a chemical reaction occurs. This means that the elements chemically combine and sub-atomic particles transfer between the elements involved. An Example of a Compound:
Sodium Chloride (Table Salt): Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride

∙ 14y agoEach atom of the element is made of protons and neutrons. Around them are orbiting electrons.... In compounds, the electrons are joined with another atom's electrons to form stable electronic configuration. Depends on the distance proportion of the joined electrons, there are ionic and covalent compounds.

How do compounds differ from elements?
Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements.Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.
What does the term 'substance' refer to?
Elements and compounds
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are known as?
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are usually called ALLOYS. However, there are true compounds and these are often known simply as inter-metallic compounds.
What is atoms of different elements can stick together ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called?
Atoms of different elements can " stick together " ( making compounds ) via elements sharing or trading arrangements called
What compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
Are all elementsmade of compounds which may combine to form molecules?
No. Elements are not made of compounds. Elements may be combined to form compounds.
When elements and compounds combine to form new compounds the reaction is described in a?
When elements and compounds combine to form new compounds the reaction is described in a chemical equation.
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
Do compounds not have the same properties as the elements that formed them?
True. Compounds do not have the same properties as the elements that form them.
When elements are combined chemically what do they form?
they form compounds
What compounds does ionic bonds form?
they form elements
What elements can uranium combine with to form a compound?
Uranium form chemical compounds with the majority of the other elements.
How do the elements of a compound form?
Elements combine together by chemical bonding to form compounds.
What chemicaly bonds to form compounds?
Compounds are formed from chemical elements.
Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.
Can all elements form compounds?
Compounds are combinations of elements. They are different from molecules in the fact that Compounds cannot be a combination of the same element ( O2 ) instead compounds are combinations of different elements ( CO2 )
