There are two different types of bonds when atoms join together. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms "share" electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when an atom gives up its electrons to another to form a bond.
compound
Yes, because ocean water has many dissolved substances and the atoms of different substances do join together.
In an element.
When different kinds of atoms join together, they form molecules called compounds. Compounds are substances composed of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together. These bonds can be ionic or covalent, depending on how the atoms interact with each other. Examples of compounds include water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Compound if different atoms.
When different kinds of atoms join together, they form molecules or compounds. The specific arrangement and types of atoms will determine the properties and characteristics of the resulting substance.
Atomic bonding is the process by which atoms join to form larger substances.

No, they may be different or same.
No!!! Elements are a group of atoms of all the same type. e.g. Carbon is an element because all the atoms in carbon are carbon atoms. They all contain 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Whilst one cannot pick up and hold an atom, too small, one can hold an element because it is a much larger group of atoms. e.g. one can hold the element carbon ; it is a black dust ( soot) or its allotrope a diamond. A molecule is a group of atoms chemically combined together e.g. water (H2O) , carbon dioxide (CO2). There are millions more different molecules.
When atoms of two different elements join together (or combine) to make molecules of a compound, scientists say that a Chemical Change or Chemical Reaction has taken place. I you look at the substances you start off with and the substance you get after the change, they are often different.
