How does a molecular compound compare to the elements that make up the compound? a. the properties of a compound depend on the identity of the component elements, and not the chemical bonds they form. b. the properties of a compound depend on the size of the molecule, and not the component elements. c. the properties of a compound are generally similar to the properties of the elements that make it up. d. the properties of a compound are usually very different from the properties of the elements that make it up.

Answer;

D.The properties of a compound are usually very different from the properties of the elements that make it up.

Explanation;

-Elements combine to form chemical compounds.  Elements are substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances. Salt is made up of the elements sodium and chloride. Water is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.

-A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
