Answer:

Water is a compound. It contains more than one element: hydrogen and oxygen atoms are joined together; as illustrated in the video clip Elements and Compounds, above. ... Water is not simply a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen; it contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms linked together in an ordered way.

Answer with Explanation:

Water is a compound because it consists of two types of atoms (Hydrogen and Oxygen) that are chemically bonded. An "element" only consists of one type of atom, therefore, water is not an element but a compound. Its chemical formula is: $H_{2} O$ . This means that water consists of 2 atoms of Hydrogen that are bonded to an atom of Oxygen. Take note that a compound is different compared to the elements that it is made of. For example, water is essentially liquid in its form but it is different from the atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen, which are gas in form.

Answer: The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.

Explanation:

Cis- and Trans- isomers are the geometrical isomers which have same chemical formula but different structural formula

According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.

If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as cis-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as trans-form.

We are given a chemical compound, which is 2-pentene.

In this the highest priority groups are methyl and ethyl groups.

When the groups are on the same side, it forms cis-form and when the groups are on the opposite side, it forms trans-form

The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
