Q. Give two points of difference between an element and a compound?
Answers
•An Element is made up of same kind of atoms
•An element cannot be split by physical or chemical methods.
• A compound is obtained from different kinds of atoms.
•A compound can be split into new substances by chemical methods.
Answer:
Element-
an element is a pure substance which cannot be broken down by chemical means, consisting of atoms which have identical numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei. The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element, and is referred to as the atomic number.
Compound-
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound.
