Answer:

Explanation:

In order to balance an equation the same amount of atoms of each element in the reactants (the substances on the left of the arrow) must appear in the products (the substances on the right of the arrow). In this particular case, we see that there are 4 Cr atoms and 3*2 = 6 Oxygen atoms as reactants, and the molecule formed has 2 Cr atoms and 3 Oxygen atoms, so if we multiplied the number of molecules by 2, then the equation get balanced, that is:

4Cr + 3O2 -> 2 Cr2O3

Answer:

An Element is a substance made up of only one type of atom as like gold, copper, oxygen, etc.

Copper sulphate with molecular formula $(CuSO_4)$ , the elements are copper, sulphur and oxygen. It is formed by combination of $Cu^{2+}$ cation and $SO_4^{2-}$ anion.

Copper sulphide with molecular formula $(CuS)$ , the elements are copper and sulphur. It is formed by combination of $Cu^{2+}$ cation and $S^{2-}$ anion.
