What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?
It increases the temperature of the reaction.
It decreases the reaction time without being consumed.
It acts as a reactant and changes the chemical structure of the products.
It prevents the reaction from happening.
What is the main difference between an element and a compound?
An element is made of only one kind of atom, while a compound consists of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined.
An element can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but a compound cannot.
A compound is made of only one kind of atom, while an element consists of atoms of two or more compounds chemically combined.
Elements are found only in nature, while compounds are man-made.
What does the atomic number of an element represent?
