This is an old rule (Law of definite proportions) not valid for nonstoichiometric compounds.
If a material contains three elements joined in a fixed proportion, then it is a compound. It can only be separated by a chemical reaction.
A chemical compound is a substance composed of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. The elements in a compound are held together by chemical bonds that give the compound its unique properties. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
Water is a compound because its molecules are formed of chemically combined elements (hydrogen and oxygen) in a fixed proportion. A mixture is a combination of separate atoms, molecules, or particles that are not chemically bonded or in any fixed proportion.
Compound
A chemical combination of two or more elements is called a compound. The simplest unit of a compound is called a molecule (if the atoms are covalently bound) or a formula unit (if the atoms are joined by ionic bonds)
If a material contains three elements joined in a fixed proportion, then it is a compound. It can only be separated by a chemical reaction.
A material that contains three elements joined in a fixed proportion is a pure substance called a compound. It is not a mixture.
It is called a compound
A compound refers to two or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion. This fixed proportion is represented by a chemical formula that shows the types and ratios of atoms present in the compound.
It is a mixture.
It is a mixture.
compound contains elements in a fixed proportion. Example= NaCl
A compound is the pure substance formed from the chemical combination of two or more different elements in a fixed ratio.
A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a specific proportion is called a compound. A substance composed of two or more elements combined chemically in a fixed proportion by mass is called a compound. A chemical compound can be held together by a covalent bond or an ionic bond.
Water on electrolysis (splitting) gives elements Hydrogen and oxygen in a fixed proportion
