Answer 1

A compound is formed when two or more

elements combine chemically in a fixed

ratio by mass. Some of the elements

individual properties are lost when they

combine and the newly formed

compound has new properties. They are

represented by their chemical formula.

For e.g, the chemical formula of water is H2O. It means it has 2 atoms of hydrogen combined with 1 atom of oxygen.

Some examples of commonly used compounds are:

1.Alcohol (C2H6O)

2Acetic Acid (C2H4O2)

3Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4)

4.Ammonia (NH3)

5.Methane (CH4)

6.Nitrous oxide (N2O)

7.Salt (NaCl)
