A chemical compound is a PURE substance that has two or more different types of atoms in that have chemically bonded (e.g. Iron atoms, Oxygen atoms). The ratio of all atoms in a particular compound (as shown in its molecular formula) is unique for that specific compound.

Chemical compounds are made of chemically bonded chemical elements, that can be found on the Periodic Table. Compounds have there own formulae, that act as a shorthand for easy notation during equations. For Example:

Iron Oxide = FeO

Carbon Dioxide = CO2

Glucose = C6H12O6
