If you could see current what would AC current physically look like?

Of course, since you can't see current, any answer would be imaginary. How about this one: Electrical current consists of charged particles (electrons) flowing through a conductor, such as a wire. AC current alternates, or changes direction, several times a second. We need some particles. Let's use sand. For our conductor, how about a length of clear plastic pipe (clear so we can see what's happening). Put some of the electrons (sand) in the wire (pipe). Shake the pipe back and forth, back and forth, etc. so the sand travels one way, then the other. That makes you the generator! If you watch the middle of the pipe, you see the particles flow first one way, then the other. Voila! AC current flow.

As long as the two atoms (assuming you mean different types of atoms) combine chemically rather than physically, a compound is formed. For example H2O, or water. If they had combined physically, the resulting substance would be a mixture.

What type of current flows through an electric current?
Current is the flow of electrons. This could be DC (direct current like what you find in a battery) or AC (alternating current, what you find in a regular plug for example). Current is measured in Amperes or amps. And if you have the unfortunate chance of being shocked, amps are what could actually harm you or kill you.
