Question

Can two or more elements be combined chemically to make a new element? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it's quite simple.

Step-by-step explanation:

An element is basically a group of similar atoms combined. For example, gold atoms combine to form a gold element (metal).
A compound is the product of the chemical combination of two or more atoms. For example, two Hydrogen atoms and an Oxygen atom combine to form water (a compound).
And a mixture is the product of the physical combination of two or more substances (not chemically combined). For example mixing water and milk powder. I hope it was helpful.

Answer 2

Yes; this process if called nuclear fusion, and an example of it is in the sun. Elements in the sun are combined to create heavier elements in order to provide fuel.
