Chapter 4, Problem 1E
How do the properties of compounds compare to the properties of the elements from which they are composed?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
To determine:
How the properties of compounds compare to the properties of elements from which they are composed.
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
The properties of a compound and its elements vary completely from the elements that make it up.
Explanation of Solution
The combination of elements in fixed and definite proportions results in formation of compound.
The properties of compounds are different to the properties of elements from which they are composed. The combination of two or more elements results in formation of completely new substance. For example, water is formed by hydrogen and oxygen, but water is in liquid state under standard conditions while hydrogen and oxygen are in a gaseous state. So, we can say that the properties of a compound and its elements vary completely from the elements that make it up.
Conclusion
The properties of compounds cannot be compare to the properties of elements from which they are composed because a compound is very different to the elements from which it is composed.
