Why the properties of compound are different from those of each constituent elements?
Answers
Answer:
each of the compounds has a certain number of carbon and hydrogen atoms are arranged in a cell and specific way the properties of compounds are often very different from the properties of the elements that make them for example what is made from two atoms of hydrogen bonded to one atom of Oxygen
Answer: Properties of compounds are different from its constituent elements
Explanation: As,
Take an example,
We have the elements iron and sulphur
We mix them , so can you remove iron from this mixture?
Yes, we can use a magnet to remove iron from its mixture
However when we heat iron with sulphur , we form the compound iron sulphide , so if you try to bring the magnet near, the iron doesn't retains its magnetism so it doesn't separate from the compound
Now let's take a different example,
Oxygen and Hydrogen are two inflammable gases which support combustion however when we burn hydrogen in oxygen , water is formed which is infact a liquid and doesn't support combustion.
The reason for this is because Compounds are formed by chemical combination of two or more elements and contain a fixed ratio of these elements. Compounds can not be separated into constituent elements by physical means. Compounds have properties of their own, which are different from those of their constituent elements.
