Question

Compare the properties of elements and compounds. Give two examples of each, including one example that exists in the human body. Explain the atomic nature of one element and one compound found in human body

Answer 1

elements are pure substances composed of only one kind of atom. An example that is present in the body is oxygen which is present in the lungs and also in the blood. Compounds are composed of different types of atoms which differ in ratio from one to another. an example is water. The two terms are different in structure and hence the properties.
