A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
Theyre the big bunched up group in the middle of the periodic table
Answer:
When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.
Explanation:
Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:
The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether
The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.
The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.
The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol
Answer:
CH3OCH3 Ether
CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene
CH3NHCH3 Amine
CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol
