No they can't because the definition of an element is, something that exists as a single atom
For example, oxygen is an element and can't be broken down anymore however, it can be combined with hydrogen to make water

What term is used to describe the energy level of any level higher than the ground state of a particle?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

B. Excited state

Explanation:

Energy levels higher than the ground state are called the excited states. This concept is based on the premise that electrons can move round the nucleus in certain permissibe orbits or energy levels.

The ground state is the lowest energy state available to the electron. This is usually the most stable state.

The excited state is any level higher than the ground state. An electron  in an energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.

A scientist is combining two grey elements he thinks he will get a compound why is this prediction wrong
DedPeter [7]
In a compund, the proportion must be fixed, unlike mixture. Therefore, if he just combine two elements, there must be excess elements mixed in it.
Second, how did he combined two elements? In order to create a compund, either heat or electricity must be applied.
Therefore, even if he used heat / electricity, he still hasn't got the right proportion, therefore he must have mixed some excess elements into the compund that he thought he made.

Why does tire pressure change with temperature? Explain why the atoms are interacting in the certain way, How temperature plays
Wittaler [7]

The main reason behind this is Boyle's law and Gay Lussacs law

  • Gay Lussac's law states that Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature.
  • Boyle's law states that Volume is inversely proportional to pressure.

If temperature will be more Pressure will be more

If you dissolve 8.50 g of ca(no3)2 in 755 ml of distilled water what is the concentration in molarity of the calcium nitrate sol
Zanzabum
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution 
the mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ present - 8.50 g
therefore number of moles of Ca(NO₃)₂ - 8.50 g / 164 g/mol = 0.0518 mol
the volume of solution prepared is 755 mL 
therefore if there are 0.0518 mol in 755 mL 
then in 1000 mL the number of moles - 0.0518 mol / 0.755 L 
molarity is therefore - 0.0686 M
