A compound is a chemical substance formed by the combination of atoms of different elements in specific proportion.
Two examples from our surroundings are water( H2O) and carbon-dioxide( CO2).
- Water is formed by the combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
- Carbon dioxide is formed by the combination of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
- Compounds can be either ionic( NaCl) or covalent in nature( H2O).
- Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a non-metal whereas covalent compounds are formed between non-metals.
