Question

Write about (i) Elements (ii)Componds​

Answer 1

Answer:

An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance. There are about 100 elements, each with its own type of atom. Everything in the universe contains the atoms of at least one or more elements. The periodic table lists all the known elements, grouping together those with similar properties.

Compounds form when atoms chemically combine. When metals combine (react) with nonmetals, ionic compounds usually form. When nonmetals combine, covalent compounds usually form. Molecules are the smallest part of a compound that have the properties of the compound.
