What Is A Compound?

Since it is in the chemistry section I assume you mean a chemical compound. A chemical compound is a substance made of two or more elements bonded together. An element is any of the basic items from the periodic table. These include hydrogen, oxygen, helium, silver, gold and at least 112 others. Elements are made up of a single atom.

Do you know what subject it has to do with?  There are compound words, there are different types of compounds.  A compound could also be known as a small place that someone stays in.  There are a lot of different definitions.  Need more info.  Good luck.

Jnawrocki is right. A compound is  two or more elements bonded together. The difference between a compound and a mixture which also consists of two or more elements, is that mixtures are just elements arranged, but not bonded together, whereas in compounds bonds between the different elements do exist. Another way of thinking about is, in a mixture, the elements can be separated easily by mechanical processes like filtering, whereas to separate the elements in a compound, the bonds need to be broken which is a lot harder.
