Compounds, particles made up of more than one element, are held together by electrostatic attractions--called bonds--between the negatively-charged electrons of one atom and the positively-charged proton of another. The bonds in a compound are generally formed when two atoms get close enough together for this attraction to form a bond between them, connecting them. Different atoms have different attractions to other atoms depending on the number of electrons that can be bonded to the other atom.
In order to break apart a compound, therefore, you must break the bond between the atoms in that compound. This can be done when one atom in the compound comes across an outside atom that it is more attracted to. That atom will then bond with the new atom and the compound will be broken.
Bonds can also be broken when energy (usually in the form of heat) is applied to the compound. Different bonds have different strengths and therefore different amounts of energy that must be added in order to break the bond.
You misunderstand!!!! a compound is broken down into its elemental atoms.
Yes. that is how the compounds are formed. By combination of the elements.
Covalent compounds are formed by covalent bonds.
a mixed compound accours when new compounds are formed
Compounds that are formed from cations and anions, or ions with negative and positive charge. Ionic compounds are also compounds that are formed from a metal and a non-metal.
atoms
By chemical methods, such as electrolysis.

Compounds can be formed or broken down. ~ Dre.R ~

Yes. that is how the compounds are formed. By combination of the elements.

Compounds are formed by the reaction of two or more elements.
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
Molecular compounds certainly can be formed from semimetals, but not all the compounds of semimetals are molecular.
Today are known approx. 65.106 chemical compounds.
