Yes in the sense that you can have a compound and add a chemical or element to it in order to remove an atom from the compound, thus returning it to its elemental form. For example, KI + Li --> LiI + K. The Potassium (K) was in a compound but is now alone in its elemental form after the reaction. (Lithium can replace Potassium because it is more reactive. See the Activity Series for more info on that).
What else can I help you with?
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
Which elements can become stable by losing one elements?
An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.
How can millions of compounds be made from atoms of about 100 elements?
Well, honey, it's all about chemistry! By combining different elements in various ratios and structures, you can create a whole smorgasbord of compounds. With just a handful of elements to work with, the possibilities are endless - it's like a cosmic game of mix and match. So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride through the periodic table!
Why elements tend to attain stability?
Except for the noble gases, the atoms of all elements are unstable. This is why they form molecules and compounds, in order to become stable. Stable means having the same valence configuration as a noble gas. For all but the first two elements that means having an octet (8) of electrons in their valence shells after chemical bonding.
Why do the atoms of most elements form bonds?
Chemical bonding is very essential for atoms. Take for example: the element carbon. It contains four valence electrons and needs 4 more to make it stable. In order to do that, bonding is needed. Covalent bonding is applicable to organic compounds while ionic bonding is for inorganic compounds.
Can compound undergo chemical change to become elements how?
Yes. Compounds can undergo chemical changes to become elements. An example would be the following: Zn(s) + CuCl2(aq) ===> ZnCl2(aq) + Cu(s). THe CuCl2 is a compound and it is changed into the element Cu(s) and also into zinc chloride.
How can elements be changed into compounds?
Elements become compounds after chemical reactions.
What are reactants in a chemical reaction?
Reactants are the substances that are present at the beginning of a chemical reaction and undergo a transformation to form new products. They are the starting materials that are consumed during the reaction process.
How do the properties of the parts of a mixture compared to the properties of the parts before they become A mixture?
Because there is no chemical reaction, the properties of the elements and compounds do not change when they form a mixture.
Can compound s undergo chemical change to become elements?
Any compound can in some way be broken down into its elemental constituents (although they may spontaneously partially or entirely recombine afterwards). One method that will always do this is thermal decomposition, or thermolysis. In this chemical process the compound is simply heated to a high enough temperature that all the chemical bonds between the atom break. Another gentler method uses the techniques of chemical analysis, plus some additional steps to separate the elements of the original compound from the elements of the carrier compounds used to separate them from the original compound.
What happens to compounds when they break down?
They become 2 or more elements
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
Can become a curium compound?
Yes, curium can form chemical compounds.
Can elements undergo chemical change become compounds?
Yes in the sense that you can have a compound and add a chemical or element to it in order to remove an atom from the compound, thus returning it to its elemental form. For example, KI + Li --> LiI + K. The Potassium (K) was in a compound but is now alone in its elemental form after the reaction. (Lithium can replace Potassium because it is more reactive. See the Activity Series for more info on that).
How do chemical reactions change compounds?
Reactants become products by transfer of atoms.
What do most atoms undergo combining in ways that cause their atoms to become more?
Atoms combine in chemical reactions to form new compounds, which can have different properties than the individual atoms. By bonding with other atoms, atoms can achieve a more stable electron configuration, often by filling their outer electron shell to reach a state of lower energy. The resulting compounds can have enhanced stability and reactivity compared to the individual atoms.
Can subscripts can be changed in ordered to balance a chemical equation?
No, when the subscripts are changed, they become different compounds than the intended compounds.
