PROPERTIES OF

COMPOUNDS
• The greenish-yellow, rock-like solid substance that has a very foul
odor.
• It is made from sulfur, when kalburo (sulfur) is exposed in air, it
reacts with oxygen gas-forming sulfur dioxide (SO2) which is a
pungent and poisonous gas. If you continue to inhale the gas
produce by kalburo when exposed to air, you will eventually get
dizzy because of exposure to the poisonous gas.
How do you know if a substance
is a compound?
Compounds are made up of two or more
elements that are chemically combined
producing a new set of properties.
 Contain atoms of
different element that
are chemically
combined
 Properties of Compounds
1. Compounds cannot be separated
into other substances by physical
methods but by chemical means
only.
Example: elemental component of
water as hydrogen and oxygen can
only be separated by electrolysis
(a chemical process).
 Properties of Compounds
2. Shorthand in writing compounds is
chemical formulas while elements are
chemical symbols.
Example:
water - H2O (chemical formula)
hydrogen - H (chemical symbol)
oxygen - O (chemical symbol)

In this example, the element sodium (Na) is chemically combined

with the element chlorine (Cl) to form a compound, sodium
chloride (NaCl) commonly known as table salt.
