Question

Imagine a world in which all the elements existed, but they couldn’t form any chemical bonds with each other. What kinds of substances could exist in such a world? What kinds of substances could not exist? What do you think this world would be like?

Answer 1

If the world is made of the elements that cannot form chemical bonds, then everything would exist in the form of a mixture. A mixture as the word suggest is simple combination of 2 or more substances where each substance retains its properties. A compound is formed when 2 or more elements combine together to form a chemical bond. There would be a world of full of mixtures and compound would not exist in this world. Every living thing in this world is made up of thousands of compounds, and if compounds don't exist, then there would be no life on the earth.

Answer 2

If the world is made of the elements that cannot form chemical bonds, then everything would exist in the form of a mixture.

A mixture as the word suggest is simple combination of 2 or more substances where each substance retains its properties. The world would be full of different mixtures of elements.

A compound is formed when 2 or more elements combine together to form a chemical bond. Since chemical bonds are not possible, the compound would not exist in such a world.

Every living thing in this world is made of thousands of compounds, and if compounds don't exist, then there would be no life on the earth.
