You should be more specific about what change you are talking about. But let me take a guess. For example, iron plus oxygen can become ferric oxide. Both elements change their names. The change is used to indicate the kind of bonding process that is taking place. When iron and oxygen become ferric oxide, the iron has lost electrons and the oxygen has gained the electrons that iron lost. The change of name tells us that the elements are in an altered state, having turned into electrically charged ions.
