Carbon
Compounds are composed from elements.
An atom. However it should be noted that generally the valence electrons in an atom take part in a chemical reaction.
Compounds are composed of two or more elements chemically combined, while elements are substances made up of only one type of atom. Compounds have unique properties distinct from their component elements, as they exhibit new chemical and physical behaviors. The properties of compounds are determined by the arrangement of atoms and the type of chemical bonds present within the compound.
In scientific terms, an element is anything that can be found on the Periodic Table of Elements (PTE). It is a pure substance, not mixed with anything else. Compounds are a combination of 2 or more elements. They cannot be found on the PTE.
No, different compounds found together but not chemically combined do not make up an element. An element is defined as a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom, characterized by its atomic number. Compounds are formed from two or more elements that are chemically bonded together. Therefore, a mixture of compounds does not change the fundamental nature of the individual elements present.
If there are two or more elements or compounds physically combined, then it can no longer be an element.
Helium is an element (abbreviated "He"). Elements are types of substance that, when combined, form compounds and chemicals.
When an element is combined with another element, the resulting substance is called a compound. Compounds are formed through chemical reactions where atoms of different elements bond together to form a new substance with unique properties.
no, but compounds are made of elements chemically combined.
ReactivityThe ease and speed with which an element combines with other elements and compounds is called the "reactivity" of the element.
A compound has two or more elements that are chemically combined. It cannot be easily separated which means that is a homogeneous. An example of this would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl.) :)
Compounds are formed from chemical elements.
Compounds are composed from elements.
Potassium (K) is an element. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, whereas compounds are substances made up of two or more different elements chemically combined.
ReactivityThe ease and speed with which an element combines with other elements and compounds is called the "reactivity" of the element.
Gold is not so reactive but has compounds with other elements.
An atom. However it should be noted that generally the valence electrons in an atom take part in a chemical reaction.
