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.

A buffer is prepared by adding 12.0g of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) to 250mL of 1.00 M NH3 solution?The pH is 9.3 Write the net io
solniwko [45]

Answer:- NH_3(aq)+H^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons NH_4^+(aq)

Explanations:- The solution we have is a buffer solution and we know that a buffer solution resists a change in its pH if a strong acid or base is added to it.

Here, the buffer solution we have is of a weak base and it's conjugate acid. So, a strong acid(nitric acid) is added to this buffer then it reacts with the base present in the buffer so that the acid could be neutralized. This is called buffer action.

The net ionic equation is written as:

NH_3(aq)+H^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons NH_4^+(aq)

Note that HNO_3 is a strong acid and nitrate ion is the spectator ion so it is not included in the net ionic equation.

What does ''Isotope'' means? &from which language that drives from? answer to me then you will have 20 points help me then y
coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".

Explain ways that organisms interact in helpful and harmful ways.
I am Lyosha [343]
Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.
