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.

Seeing signs of a chemical reaction does not always mean that a reaction is happening. For example, a gas (water vapor) is given off when water boils. ... You can tell that it is a physical change because water vapor can condense to form liquid water. In a chemical change, a new substance must be produced.

The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.

Answer:

N and P

Explanation:

Anion:

When an atom gain the electrons anion is formed. The negative sign shows that atom gain electron because number of electron are greater than protons or we can say that negative charge becomes greater than positive charge.

Cation:

When atom lose electron cation is formed. The atom thus have positive charge because number of positive charge i.e protons are increased are greater than negative charge or electron.

In given problem N and phosphorus both can gain three electrons which means negative charge becomes greater that's why the extra electron gained by atoms are written as -3 and both form anion with charge -3.

while Al form cation with charge +3 Mg form cation with charge +2 and iodine and bromine both form anion with charge of -1.
