Question

The properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Compound: Compounds are chemical substances made up of two or more elements that are chemically bound together in a fixed ratio.

• For example, Water is a compound made with two different substances called Hydrogen and Oxygen.
• A compound has unique properties that are distinct from the properties of its elemental constituents.
• $\mathrm{Hydrogen}\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\right)$ is highly flammable and $\mathrm{Oxygen}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)$ supports combustion. Both combine to form water having inflammable nature and non-supporter of combustion.

Thus, the given statement is True. I.e., The properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements.
