Question

the elements that make up table salt are sodium and chlorine. how can the properties of sodium, chlorine, and the compound salt be described? move one correct answer to each box. not all answers will be used. the properties of compounds have blank properties than the elements that form them. this occurs because elements in a compound blank and become a new substance with blank properties. options: a. unique, b. different, c. combine, d. the same, e. separate

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: Compounds have properties different from the elements that form them (e.g., sodium is a metal, chlorine is a gas, salt is a solid crystal). So we choose "different" (B).
2. For the second blank: Elements in a compound combine chemically (sodium and chlorine combine to form salt). So we choose "combine" (C).
3. For the third blank: The new substance (compound) has unique properties, distinct from the elements. So we choose "unique" (A).

Answer:

First blank: B. different
Second blank: C. combine
Third blank: A. unique
