(or just compound if used in the context of ‘chemistry’)

-aΒ (chemical) compound is an ‘entity’ consisting of 2 or more atoms, at least 2 from different elements, which associate via ‘chemical bonds’-

.

(there are 4 types of ‘compounds’, depending on how the constituent atoms are held together…)

‘molecules’
(held together by ‘covalent bonds’)

‘salts’
(held together by ‘ionic bonds’)

‘inter-metallic compounds’
(held together by ‘metallic bonds’)

‘certain complexes’  (name?)
(held together by ‘coordinate covalent bonds’)

.

(many ‘chemical compounds’ have a ‘unique numerical identifier’ assigned by the “chemical abstracts service” (CAS))
(aka – its “CAS number”)

(a “chemical formula” is a way of expressing information about the ‘proportions’ of ‘atoms’ that constitute a particular ‘chemical compound’, using the ‘standard abbreviations’ for the ‘chemical elements’, and ‘subscripts’ to indicate the # of ‘atoms’ involved)

(for example, “water” is composed of 2 “hydrogen” atoms bonded to 1 “oxygen” atom…)

(so the chemical formula is H2O)

(a ‘compound’ can be converted to a different ‘chemical composition’ by interaction with a 2nd ‘chemical compound’ via a ‘chemical reaction’)

(in this process, ‘bonds’ between ‘atoms’ are ‘broken’ in both of the ‘interacting compounds’, and then ‘bonds’ are ‘reformed’ so that new associations are made between ‘atoms’)

.

(chematically, this reaction could be described as…)

AB + CD –> AC + BD

((A / B / C / D) are each ‘unique atoms’)
(‘AB’ / ‘CD’ / ‘AC’ / ‘BD’ are each ‘unique compounds’)

.

(a ‘chemical element’ bonded to an ‘identical chemical element’ is not a ‘chemical compound’ since only 1 element (not 2 different elements) is involved)

.

(examples are…)

*the ‘di-atomic molecule’ hydrogen (H2)*

*the ‘poly-atomic molecule’ sulfur (S8)*
