Compouds are made of 2 or more elements chemically combined.
A compound is a substance made up of two or more elements combined chemically. Compounds are made up of elements which are a kind of atom or of a combination of compounds.

When they are combined chemically, it is very difficult to separate out the different elements just as it is very difficult once a cake is baked to separate out the eggs, flour, sugar and other ingredients.

Water, H2O, is a combination of 2 hydrogens, and 1 oxygen. So, it is a compound
