Question

2. Why are the properties of different compounds so different from each other?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compounds have different properties from the elements that make them. The atoms of different elements are held together in compounds by chemical bonds. Chemical bonds can hold atoms together in large networks or in small groups. Bonds help determine the properties of a compound.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \mathbf \color{navy}{Answer}$

Properties of one compound differ from that of the other because of the following reasons:

• 1. Each compound is formed by a different set of elements.
• 2. Even with the same set of elements, different compounds are formed by varying numbers of constituent atoms.
• Example: Just varying the number of carbon and oxygen atoms, we get carbon monoxide or CO (toxic gas) and carbon dioxide or CO2 (non-toxic gas).
