what do you mean bu chemical compound
Answers
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since only one element, not two different elements, is involved.
The purest elements and chemicals can be found on the periodic table, and the majority of those listed can be found in nature. However, most of the things we encounter and use on a daily basis are actually chemical compounds. A chemical compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements that can normally be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means and have properties different from those of its component elements.
