Compounds are formed from the combination of two or more elements.
The reaction of Sodium (Na) and chlorine elements to form salt is as shown:
Na + Cl ->NaCl where:
Based on the equation, sodium and chlorine elements have undergone chemical reactions to form a whole new compound which is sodium chloride (NaCl)
Since a chemical reaction has occurred between these elements, hence the properties of NaCl salt will be different from that of the individual elements falsifying the statement.
