Question

write the differentiation between element and compound​

Answer 1

Explanation:

hey mate here is ur answer ☺❤❤❤❤

1. Definition

• Elements are pure substances which are composed of only one type of atom.
• Compound are substances which are formed by two or more different types of elements that are united chemically in fixed proportions.

2. Total Numbers

• There are nearly 118 elements (at present) of which nearly 94 occur naturally on Earth.
• Compounds are almost endless.

3. Types

• Elements are classified as either metals, nonmetals or metalloids.
• Compounds are classified according to their bonds which can be ionic, molecular or metallic.

4 Examples

• Some of the examples of elements are Iron, Copper, Gold, etc.
• A few examples of compounds are NAOH, NaCl, etc.

5 Representation

• Elements are represented by symbols and numbers. For example, Sodium is represented by Na.
• Compounds are represented by their chemical formula. For example, salt is represented by the formula NaCl.

6. Distinguished By

• Elements can be distinguished by their atomic number.
• Distinguished by their fixed ratio of different elements (arranged in a defined manner).

7 Composition and Property

• As only one type of atoms make up an element, all the properties of that atom are represented by its atom.
• In case of compounds, the same type of molecules makes up the compound.

8 Ability to Breakdown

• Elements cannot be broken down by chemical reactions.
• Compounds can be easily separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions

i hope it helps you ☺☺❤❤❤❤
