What names the elements that combine to form a compound?

The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.


How many atoms of silicone and oxygen combine to form this compound?

How many elements have to be present for a compound to form?

A compound forms when two or more different elements chemically bond together. Therefore, at least two elements must be present for a compound to form.


When hydrogen and oxygen are combined how many of these atoms are compounds?

An atom is not a compound. A compound is a pure substance that is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined. The elements hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, which is a compound. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O


Why are there more materials than elements?

Because the elements can combine in many ways to form compounds, and compounds can be mixed in many differed ways. Moreover, some elements occur in different forms. The elements carbon and hydrogen alone combine for form thousands of compounds.


What can chromium combine with?

Chromium can combine with various elements to form different compounds. For example, it can combine with oxygen to form chromium oxide, with carbon to form chromium carbide, and with sulfur to form chromium sulfide. Additionally, chromium can also combine with other metals to form alloy compounds.


Can only phosphorus make a stable compound?

No, not only phosphorus can form stable compounds. Many elements can combine to form stable compounds depending on their chemical properties and bonding capabilities. These compounds can be created through various chemical reactions involving different elements.


How can there be so many types of matter when there are so few elements?

Because the elements can combine to form a multitiude of different compounds.


Elements whose atoms can combine to form compounds?

Reactive elements have atoms that can combine to form compounds. The atoms in a compound are combined through different types of bonds, such as ionic, covalent, hydrogen, and metallic bonding. With ionic bonding, there is an exchange of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared by two atoms.


Which elements don't bond with other elements?

There are some elements that can't become a compound but can become a mixture. OK your question is not completely understood. A compound is made up of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical means. A compound is formed in a chemical reaction. A mixture is 2 or more substances (it doesn't have to be elements) that are phsically combined and can only be separated by physical means. So the answer to your question is not open because your question should be some thing like "Which element(s) does not actively combine with other elements in a compound or mixture?" The answer to that question would be many. Some elements can't come together to form a compound but they can form a mixture perfectly and visa versa.Ans 2. The above answerer has not fully understood the question. The word "combine" defines "a compound" and excludes "a mixture". The phrase "actively combine" refers to those elements which show no spontaneous inclination to combine with any other. These elements were long referred to as "inert", but the name has recently been changed to"noble gases". The reason for their dis-inclination to combine is that in every case the atom's outer electron shell is full; in other words their valency is zero.
