Over 50 million organic and inorganic compounds have been isolated, identified, and characterized. These range from naturally occurring substances to synthesized compounds created in laboratories for various purposes, such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and agriculture. The number continues to increase as new compounds are discovered and synthesized.

Which 3 elements form no known compounds?

The "expected" answer is helium, neon, and argon, BUT -- in 2000 there was a claim that the first argon compound had been made -- no compounds of elements 99 and above are really "known", since most of these elements last less than an hour, and have never been made in quantities of more than a few atoms at a time. We "know" of many compounds that must exist, and have a very good sense of what their properties are, but compounds have not actually been prepared and characterized. -- it is very doubtful that any francium compound has been isolated and characterized, although those of the other very unstable lighter elements promethium, astatine, actinium, and protactinium have been.

Who discovered or created boron?

Boron is not known to have been discovered by a single individual. It has been used since ancient times in compounds, but the pure element was first isolated and identified by Sir Humphry Davy and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1808.


Where was boron discovered?

Compounds of boron have been around since ancient times, Egyptian mummification could not have been accomplished without it. Boron is not a naturally free element. The element was not isolated until 1808 and it was not identified as the element boron until 1824. See the related link for more information on this subject.

What are three common compounds containing argon?

There are no common compounds of argon. The only known compound is argon fluorohydride but that is hardly common. Also, argonium (argon hydride) molecules have been identified in the Crab nebula, but that can hardly be described as common.


Who credited boron?

Sir Humphrey Davy isolated boron in 1808. The first to realize it was an element was probably John Jakob Berzelius. Boron compounds had been known for thousands of years.


Can chlorine and bromine form an ionic compound?

The short answer is no. Compounds between two halogens do occur, they are called interhalogen compounds, but they are covalent and anyway none between chlorine and bromine have been isolated. There is an ion, [BrCl2]- but its internal bonding is covalent.


Why hasn't francium been isolated as an element yet?

Francium was isolated at the level of atoms.
