Question

the properties of a compound are the same as the properties of the elements that form it. true false

Explanation:

A compound is formed by a chemical reaction between elements. During this reaction, new substances with different properties are created. For example, hydrogen (\(H_2\)) is a flammable gas and oxygen (\(O_2\)) supports combustion. But when they react to form water (\(H_2O\)), water has properties like being a liquid at room - temperature, not being flammable in the same sense as hydrogen, etc., which are different from the properties of hydrogen and oxygen. So, the properties of a compound are not the same as the properties of the elements that form it.

Answer:

FALSE
