Answer:

C. They have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.

Explanation:

In chemistry, compound is a clean substance comprised of two or more elements in a certain ratio.

Let's take an example of sodium chloride or NaCl, widely known as salt.

It is comprised of two elements, sodium and chlorine in a 1:1 ratio. If, for example, Na3Cl2 existed, it wouldn't be the same compound.

All compounds, using different methods, can be broken down to its basic elements. NaCl is broken down to sodium ion (Na⁺) and chloride ion (Cl⁻).

However, properties of a compound differ from those of its elements.

Sodium is silverish solid metal, chlorine is yellowish gas, and together they combine to give NaCl which is white and solid.

Based on their unique properties (do they dissolve in water or in some other liquid, their freezing temperature, characteristic smell, color, reactivity etc.) different compounds can be identified.

Assess the important of finding a balance between personal freedom and responsible social behaviour?
alekssr [168]
It has been said that "one's rights ends where another person's rights begins." In other words, there is a proper place and time for each person's expression of his freedom and it should be maintained under certain limits and conditions. For instance, an individual has the freedom to choose his own clothes; thus, he can wear his style for as long as he does not distract or offend others by his clothes. This is also true with drinking alcohol. Nobody's stopping anybody from drinking but they are expected to behave properly so as not to cause public disturbance. The worst scenario is driving under the influence of alcohol where many lives are cut short because of car and road accidents. Peace and order is maintained when personal freedom and responsible social behavior are put in place. Going beyond the limits will only deprive the society of harmony and hinder others from enjoying their own personal freedom.
