Quick// will award branliest there are 118 elements in the periodic table. what is a likely estimate of the number of compounds formed by these elements? a.)118 compounds as each compound is made of one element b.)236 compounds as each compound is made of two elements c.)far greater than 118 because elements combine in various ways d.)59 compounds because elements pair up with each other to form all compounds

The correct answer is option C, that is, far greater than 118 as elements combine in different ways.  

The estimated number of compounds produced by the elements in the periodic table is much greater than 118 as elements can combine in different manners. Compounds are the substances comprising more than one element that is held together with chemical bonds. In addition, they can be transformed into a distinct chemical composition by associating with another compound through a chemical reaction.
