The number of compounds possible is limited by what three factors?
Answers
when two or more atoms are reacted together then they form a compound.
for example when hydrogen h and oxygen o are reacted together then they form water (h2o) which is a compound
4h+o2=2h20
possible number of compounds formed can be limited due to following factors.
1.limited numbers of atoms to form a compound.
2.conditions under which that particular reaction takes place.
3.limited number of organic bounds
The number of compound that can be formed by a particular atom depends on the following factors:
1. The electron affinity or the ionising potential. If the atom is unable to lose electron or gain electron then the number of compound formed can be very less. This is true for the noble gases since they have a complete octate.
2. The favourable conditions for a reaction to take place. For example combustion reaction is impossible in the absence of oxygen.
3. The presence of properties like catenation or formation of double or triple bonds as in the case of carbon. Hence it can form a wide range of organic compounds.
