1. Properties of one compound differ from that of the other because of the following reasons: ... Each compound is formed by a different set of elements. Even with the same set of elements, different compounds are formed by varying numbers of constituent atoms.
3. Most elements are not found in 'free-state in nature' because most elements are reactive in nature, This means most elements will try to 'loss or gain electrons' from their outer shells to satisfy the octet rule.
