• Group 7: Halogens

• Group 8: Noble Gases

Which element would react similar to Si?

• Aluminum (Al)
• Carbon (C)
• Hydrogen (H)
• None of the above

• F

• C

• N

• H

12. How many combinations of atoms are there?

• 756
• Millions
• Billions
• Infinite Number

Explain why there are infinite number of compounds that can be made.

Answer explanation

When atoms bond, they form somethng new with totally new properties. Atoms can combine in an infinte number of ways to make new substances. This is similar to how 26 letters can combine in different ways to make infinite words with different meanings.

When two or more different elements bond, something totally new is made.

• True
• False
