Question

The statement given below is incorrect. Write the correct statement.
A compound can be synthesized from its constituent elements by proper physical method.

Answer 1

Correct statement - A compound can be synthesized from its constituent elements by a proper chemical method.

• A compound is a substance made up of two or more elements united chemically in a predetermined mass proportion.
• For example - $\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{chloride}\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right),\mathrm{Water}\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right),\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right),\mathrm{etc}.$
• Since, there is chemical bond formation takes place between different elements during the formation of a compound, its constituents cannot be synthesized by any physical method.
