Question

Name a compound that cannot be an element.

Answer 1

Compound that cannot be an element is:

• Compounds are defined as substances consisting of two or more than two different types of elements combined in a fixed ratio of their atoms.
• The formed compound has new properties and the combined elements lose their individual properties. For example, Carbon($\mathrm{C}$).
• Hence, an example of a compound is Sodium chloride ($\mathrm{NaCl}$).
