When elements come together to make compounds, they retain their individual properties.
true
false

False

Explanation:

When elements combine to form a product, they lose their individual unique property to form new properties identical to the compound formed. This lose in property could be natural state of matter, malleability, magnetic property, texture etc. Eg Hydrogen (H) combines with Oxygen to form variety of compounds conforming to various oxides. When two molecules of H combined with one molecule of oxygen, water which it's natural state is liquid is form hence losing the natural gaseous state of oxygen or hydrogen.

Another example is sodium and chlorine to form sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium is a group one metal and chlorine a gaseous element in group 17 which is greenish yellow in colour combines to form sodium chloride which its white in colour. Hence lose in color property has occurred in the new compound.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
