    Answer: A. When substances are chemically combined, the properties of the new substances that are formed are often different from the properties of the original substances.

    Explanation: when sodium metal combines with chlorine gas, it forms a crystalline compound known as Sodium Chloride. Thus a new compound has been formed and it can be observed that the physical properties of the newly formed compound is entirely different from the elemental states.

    Thus when 2 or more entities are combined together via the process f aby chemical change or any chemical reaction, it would lead to the formation of the new compound that would have an entirely different segment of properties than the parent elements.
