👉 In chemistry, a dissubstituted compound is a compound that has been partially replaced by another element or group of elements. This process can be done by adding a non-metal to the metal, or by replacing a metal with a different metal. For example, in the compound K2MnO4 (manganese(II) phosphate), manganese is replaced by oxygen and potassium is replaced by chlorine. The result is an amphoteric solid that has applications in chemistry and medicine.
