Answer:

The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

Explanation:

Further Differences:

Defintion:

Compound - A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio.

Element - An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom.

Representation:

Compound - A compound is represented using its chemical formula that represents the symbols of its constituent elements and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound.

Element - An element is represented using symbols.

Composition:

Compound - Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. They contain only one type of molecule. Elements that compose the compound are chemically combined.

Element - Elements contain only one type of atom. Each atom has the same atomic number i.e., the same number of protons in their nucleus.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: CO2

Explanation:

The information given is correct, Covalent bonds occur when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, but also, covalent bonds occur with nonmetals, then,

a.NaCl     This elements form an ionic bond, so this option is incorrect.

b.Cl2      Here there are two non metals  but the form one single covalent bond, so this option is incorrect.

c.CO2  Carbon dioxide forms 2 double covalent bonds.

d.NH3 ammonium only forms single covalent bonds

Explanation:

Structural characteristics of the compound is as follows:

  • Has five methyl group
  • Has one quaternary carbon
  • No. double bond
  • Gives four monochloro substitution products

Compound must have straight chain of 5 carbons.

Three methyl substituents are attached to 2 and 4 carbons.

According to the big bang theory, which statement is accurate about how the universe came to be?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The term Big Bang defines that the Universe has expanded from the ancient hot and thick primary situation at some fixed time in the past.

Big Bang theory refers to the origin of the Universe. In the beginning, universe is very heavy and small hot ball of matter. It was a point no bigger than the head of a pin when all the things squished with each other and universe is expanded with huge explosion of energy. Due to expansion, it is cooled and results in the formation of Stars and galaxies. After sometime, atoms formed like helium and hydrogen.

Thus, statement (1), (3) and (4) is correct whereas statement (2) and (5) is incorrect. the right answer is - (It expanded slowly), (Stars and galaxies formed,) (Atoms such as hydrogen and helium formed.)

Bond [772]

Answer:

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which its melt. The state of a substance is dependent on it's melting temperature. Generally, melting point above 25 °C is a solid.

This means phenol is a solid

Duodecane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of 216 °C means it would require higher temperature to boil it. Since 25 °C is less than 216 °C it means that it would remain in the liquid state.

Methane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of -164 °C means it boils easily even at very low temperatures. Since 25 °C is greater than -164 °C it means that it would exist in the gaseous state
