The term "true compound" is not specifically defined by the scientific community. Perhaps you are thinking of "pure compound", which is a substance composed of perfectly definite identical particles which are formed from two or more elements. It's possible that a scientist might use the phrase "true compound" to refer to a molecular compound (covalently-bonded) such as H2O or CO2, as opposed to an ionically-bonded compound such as NaCl or H2SO4; but this usage is not officially recognized by the scientific community
