How are elements and compounds similar

Chemistry

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

I don't like to just give people the answer...so I'll explain what they are as well as differences and you should be able to deduce how they are similar. Compounds are basically a mix of atoms from different elements. An Element is a pure substance made up of one type of atom (you find them on the periodic table). Compounds can be broken down into similar forms...elements cannot. Compounds list is basically endless...so far there are only about 117 known elements. Compounds are expressed as a formula...Elements are expressed using symbols. Hope this helps get you on the right track!

Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in nature. The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

When a piece of zinc metal is carefully placed in a beaker of strong acid, bubbles form on the surface of the metal and begin to
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A.  a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:

The bubbles most likely indicates that a new substance is being produced by this reaction. In essence, we describe this sort of change as chemical change.

In a chemical change, new substances are usually produced. They are accompanied by the evolution or absorption of energy.

The reaction of Zinc with a strong acid to produce bubbles on the surface of the metal indicates a chemical change and the formation of a new kind of substance.

Take for example, let zinc reacts with hydrocholoric acid, HCl;

   Zn         +      2HCl      →    ZnCl₂     +     H₂

Since Zn is higher than Hydrogen in the activity series, it will displace it from HCl and liberate hydrogen gas as a product. This will cause the bubbles observed in the reaction.

This is a chemical change and new products have been formed.

B and D are wrong because they are both physical changes.

C is wrong because no information about such is provided by the problem statement.

So, when a piece of zinc metal combines with a strong acid, a new kind of substance is produced.

I need HELP!!!<br><br> Do the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the risks?
Georgia [21]
While there is no such thing as 100 percent safe, having nuclear energy is much safer than you think. It's thousands of times safer than conventional coal and other fossil-fuel-derived energy, not to mention the specter of environmental disaster from continued use of carbon-based energy sources.
