Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number of

elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?
PLEASE HELP ASAP
Thank you!!

Answer:

Yes. The two elements can combine to form different compounds.

Explanation:

Two elements can combine at different ratios.

Consider CO and CO₂. Both are made from carbon and oxygen. However, C and O combine at a 1:1 ratio in CO but at a 1:2 ratio in CO₂. CO is a fuel; it burns in the air. CO₂ does not burn in the air; it is used to put out fires and is found in extinguishers. CO and CO₂ are two distinct compounds.

There are many ways for the elements to combine with each other. As a result, the first twenty elements on the periodic table alone can produce a large number of compounds.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

magnesium and chlorine

Explanation:

An ionic bond is usually formed between a metal and a nonmetal. An ionic bond involves the transfer of one or more electrons from a highly electro positive metal to a nonmeta.

Usually, the electro negativity difference between the two species involved in an ionic bond is usually high.

For instance, the electro negativity of magnesium is 1.31 while that of chlorine is 3.16. This implies that they have a difference in electro negativity of about 1.85 between them which is large enough to be considered as leading to a pure ionic bond. An electro negativity difference above 1.7 is generally regarded as leading to the formation of an ionic bond.

The diagram shows the layers formed when 10 mL each of honey, maple syrup, and corn syrup were slowly poured into a glass cylind
madam [21]

The correct answer is B. All liquids are denser than the ball, and honey is denser than corn syrup and maple syrup.

Explanation:

Differences in density cause substances such as solids or liquids to float or sink. In general, the substance sinks if it is denser, or floats if it is less dense. In this context, honey is the substance with the most density because it is at the bottom of the container. Also, honey is followed in density by maple syrup, and then by corn syrup. Moreover, if the ping pong ball floats in the most superficial layer, it is because this is less dense than any of the liquids. According to this, it can be concluded honey is denser than the other liquids, and the liquids are denser than the ball (option B.)

A mixture of 0.220 moles rn, 0.350 moles o2 and 0.640 moles ar has a total pressure of 2.95 atm. what is the pressure of o2? a m
EastWind [94]

Answer:

0.85 atm

Explanation:

We start by getting the total number of moles of all gases.

Total moles = 0.220 + 0.350 + 0.640 = 1.21 mol

Then we get the fraction of Oxygen moles and multiply by the total pressure;

The pressure of O2 = 0.350 mol / 1.21 mol x 2.95 atm  

                                = 0.85 atm
