How does a compound compare to the elements that make up the compound?

• The properties of a compound depend on the size of the molecule, and not the component elements.
• The properties of a compound are generally similar to the properties of the elements that make it up.
• The properties of a compound are usually very different from the properties of the elements that make it up.
• The properties of a compound depend on the identity of the component elements, and not the chemical bonds they form.

Water moves up the stem of a plant and up a tissue. What chemical property explains this experiment?

• A. Water is a buffer, and works to maintain a pH near 7.
• B. Water molecule carries a charge, and is attracted to the molecules in the plant or tissue.
• C . Water rises through vessels in the stem by capillary action.
• B and C are correct
