Compound/Element
« on: September 09, 2007, 02:05:23 AM »
How do the properties of a compound, in general, compare to the properties of the elements of which it is composed? Give an example of a common compound and the elements of which it is composed to illustrate your answer.

Help me...TT______TT I asked 5 different people. No one knows the answer..

This is so basic question that it is for sure answered in your textbook.

Do you know what kitchen salt is? What is its composition? What are properties of the salt, what are properties of the elements of which it is composed? Are they similar or dissimilar?
