The properties of the product are different from those of the constituents. This statement best describes a compound.
In a compound, the properties of the compound are different from its individual elements. One of the best example of this is water.
Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen.
Both H₂ and O₂ are gas whereas water is liquid at room temperature.
H₂ burns with a pop sound and O₂ is the principal supporter of combustion whereas water helps in extinguishing fire.
Similarly, NaCl is a white crystalline solid, stable ionic compound and soluble in water and essential for normal life whereas its constituents Na, a metal, highly reactive and unstable and Cl, a non-metal, poisonous and very reactive.
