Through the magic of chemistry. It's all about the many, many different ways that atoms can be linked up via chemical bonds to make chemical compounds. And because of the "flexibility" of the carbon atom, it can make long chains of complex compounds. These long chains will "up the count" of molecules. As compounds become larger aggregates of atoms, the atoms can arrange themselves in many different ways to become a different compound. Even with the same numbers of the same atoms, different arrangements, and, therefore, distinct compounds with their own unique characteristics, can be formed. The element carbon is almost miraculous in it's ability to form "chains" or other complex structures to give shape to very large, complex molecules. Far and away more compounds are formed from carbon than any other single element.
What else can I help you with?
Does sugar exist as atoms only?
No, it is a compound. Compounds are made up of elements, and elements are made up of atoms.
What Molecules that are made up of different atoms are?
Molecules made up of different elements (different atoms) are called compounds.
Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?
No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
What is made up of two or more different atoms from different elements?
They are called compounds.
Why are hydrocarbons elements?
Hydrocarbons are compounds, not elements, composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while compounds contain different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
Are elements made out of compounds?
No, the other way around. Kind of. Elements are made of compounds of atoms.
Are your bodies made up of millions of elements?
Atoms of only some elements. The number of these atoms is extremely great, not millions.
How do you millions of compounds be made from the atom of about 100 elements?
There are so many combinations . Thee are many ways of combining
Compounds are made up of .?
Elements
What is the relationship between atoms elements and compounds?
I believe...compounds are made up of two or more elements. Elements are made up of atoms.
The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately how many elements?
The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately 115 elements!
What are the differences in atoms in elements and compounds?
atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
In what ways are compounds and elements similar?
Compounds and elements are similar in that they are both made up of atoms. However, compounds are made up of different types of atoms bonded together, while elements consist of only one type of atom.
What do organic compounds and inorganic compounds have in comin?
They all are made up of atoms / elements.
How are elements and compounds similar to each other?
Both elements and compounds are made up of atoms. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined in fixed ratios. Both elements and compounds have unique physical and chemical properties based on the composition of their atoms.
What are compounds made out of?
Atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded.
Does sugar exist as atoms only?
No, it is a compound. Compounds are made up of elements, and elements are made up of atoms.
