Question

The properties of a compound are same as that of its constituent elements.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

For example, let us consider water (${\text{H}}_2\text{O}$). It has different properties when compared to hydrogen and oxygen. For instance, oxygen supports combustion, but water extinguishes a fire. Therefore, the properties of a compound are not same as that of its constituent elements.
