When elements combine to form compounds what happens to the properties of the original elements?

exis [7]3 years ago

The properties of the original elements are completely changed.

For example, in the compound called "iron(II) sulphide", it is composed of iron and sulphur, that are chemically combined together. The element iron is attracted to magnets. Meanwhile, iron(II) sulphide is not attracted to magnets. 

Another example is where sulphur has a yellow colour, but iron(II) sulphide has a brownish colour. As we can see, even the physical properties (colours) are completely different.

Therefore, the properties of the original elements are completely changed when they're combined into compounds.

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.
