Question

Compounds _____. A. have properties unlike those of their elements B. have the same physical properties as their elements C. have the same chemical properties as their elements D. have the same boiling points as their elements

Answer 1

A. Have properties unlike those of their elements.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounds are defined as the substances which are composed of different atoms with similar composition.

For example, NaCl,
`CaCl_(2)`, KCl etc are all compounds.

Whereas elements are the substances which are composed of same atoms and there are n different atoms.

For example,
`Cl_(2)`, Ag, Na etc are all elements.

Therefore, both compounds and elements have different properties.

Thus, we can conclude that compounds have properties unlike those of their elements.
