Question

Which statement is true for every compound? THIS QUESTION IS WORTH 39 POINTS H.E.L.P

Answer 1

Answer: D.two or more elements are chemically bonded

Explanation:

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. They have different properties as compared to their constituents. Example: water $H_2O$

$2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2$

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Thus every compound is made up of two or more elements chemically bonded.
