Question

Defend the following stetement: All compounds are substances, but not all substances are compounds

Answer 1

A compound is always a substance because it's made out of two or more atoms bonded together. Now a substance isn't always a compound because it takes two or more elements to create a compound in a chemical reaction, ans substances can contain only one element. In other words a substance can be constructed of one type of atom. Some substances that aren't compounds are: gold and baking soda.
