A compound is a substance of two or more elements bounded together in definite atomical proportions
This is a chemical compound.
This is a chemical compound (a molecule).
This is an old rule (Law of definite proportions) not valid for nonstoichiometric compounds.
The Law of Multiple Proportions states that two or more compounds may be made from the same elements but each compound will obey the Law of Definite Proportions. Combining two elements to create another element can only be done with precise measurements of each element or another element would be created instead of the one intended.
No. Magnesium oxide, MgO, is a compound, which means it is a pure substance, in which the magnesium and oxygen are present in definite proportions, in this case 1:1. This is in accordance to the law of definite proportions, which states that every pure substance always contains the same elements combined in the same proportions by weight. Also, magnesium ions have a charge of 2+ and oxide ions have a charge of 2-, so that one magnesium ion combined with one oxide ion balances to an overall charge of zero.
Compound
A compound is the pure substance formed from the chemical combination of two or more different elements in a fixed ratio.
This is a chemical compound.
A chemical compound. The combination of two or more elements in definite proportions forms a compound. For instance, hydrogen and oxygen combine in a two to one ratio in order to form water. Similarly, one sodium atom reacts with one chlorine atom to form the ionic compound sodium chloride.
Water most definitely IS a compound! It is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms chemically bonded in a definite proportion of 2H:1O. The molecular formula is H2O. A compound is a pure substance composed of different elements chemically bonded in definite proportions.

A substance made from two or more elements in definite proportions. eg NaCl
Compound- two or more elements bonded to each other in definite proportions NaCl is a compund
This is the law of definite proportions: Joseph Proust, 1806.
