Depends on the compound. The formula of that compound will tell you how many atoms are in it. Some compounds are pretty simple, like water. The formula for water is H2O. That means 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (no subscript means 1.) So, two different types of atoms for a total of three. Or, you might have a compound with the formula of C8H10N4O2. That's caffeine. Count up all the subscripts for each element and you get a total of 24 atoms in that one. And there are plenty of compounds out there with more than that!

If there are 100 different types of atoms then about how many different compounds could form if each compound contains 2 atoms?
2 or more types of atoms can be in a compound
What are the atoms like in a compound?
for each element the atoms are different
What is it called when two different atoms combine?
Answer:molecular compound
What is a pure substance made of 2 different atoms?
That would be a compound.
How many types of atoms are present in Na2SO4?
Na2SO4Three different types of atoms.2 atoms of sodium.1 atom of sulfur.4 atoms of oxygen.This compound is called,sodium sulfate.
How many different types of atoms does a tertiary compound contain?
two
If there are 100 different types of atoms then about how many different compounds could form if each compound contains 2 atoms?
2 or more types of atoms can be in a compound
Why is the ratio of a different atoms in a compound important?
The ratio of different atoms in a compound important because the compound has to achieve an equilibrium in terms of electrical charge. The net total of charges of the atoms forming a compound must be zero.
What is the least number of atoms in a compound?
A compound must have at least two atoms of different elements.
What are the atoms like in a compound?
for each element the atoms are different
What is it called when two different atoms combine?
Answer:molecular compound
What are substances composed of different types of atoms bonded together?
A compound is composed of different kinds of atoms that are covalently bonded together. Compounds are made up from atoms of different elements.
When a compound is joined by two or more atoms of different element joining the outer electron the compound is filled with electrons?
When a compound is formed from two or more atoms of different elements, the chemical bonds that form cause the atoms in the compound to have filled valence shells.
Does an element become a compound when the type of atoms is changed?
Yes, the element changes to compound when atoms of it changes because compound is made up of different types of element and the element is made up of different types of atoms when the atoms are changed the element also changes and different types of elements are made due to this the element is changed to a compound.
What is the form when two or more atoms join together?
Compound if different atoms.
What is a pure substance made of 2 different atoms?
That would be a compound.
