Two or more atoms of different elements can form a bound state where they are bonded one with the other. The resulting complex is called a molecule and has chemical and physical properties completely different from the constituting atoms.
An example is water, whose molecule is formed by two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms bonded via the so called covalent bond, that forms when different atoms put an electron in common. Water, liquid at room conditions, has completely different properties from both oxygen and hydrogen, both gasses at room conditions.

What elements do elements and compounds have in common?
Elements and compounds are both composed of atoms. Compounds are composed of two or more atoms of different elements.
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
When atoms of different elements bond they form what molecules?
A Diatomic molecule contains two atoms.A Homoatomic molecule contains two or more atoms of one element.A Hetroatomic melocule contains at least two atoms of two or more elements.
How are elements different from compounds and how they are similar?
Elements are the purest form of a substance and contain only one kind of atom.A compound contains two or more different atoms bonded together.
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.
When two or more atoms form different elements join they form?
When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.
When two or more atoms from different elements join they form?
When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.

When atoms form with other atoms do they form a molecule?
not always if the atoms are non metals and it does not result in a charged particles ie acids. a molecule is formed when 2 or more atoms form a covalent bond/s by sharing 1 or more outer electrons it doesnt necceseraly have to be of different elements, indeed there are 7 elements taht exist in diatomic states.
Atoms and molecules of different elements can do what to form molecules of compounds?
(Two or more than two ) Atoms or molecules of different elements combine to form compounds, like: Hydrogen(atom) and Chlorine combine to form HCL (an acid) Hydrogen(molecule) and oxygen combine to fom H2O (water)
Are atoms different elements designed to form compounds?
Atoms are the smallest particle possible of an element. Compounds are made up of molecules which have more than one elemental type of atom; compounds are chemical mixtures of different elements.
Daltons atomic therory?
In the 1800s John Dalton did some experiments and these are some of his magnificent work: * all elements are composed of atoms. atoms can not be divided or destroyed * atoms of the same element are alike * .atoms of different elements are not alike * the atoms of two or more elements can join together to form compounds
How are elements different from compounds and how they are similar?
Elements are the purest form of a substance and contain only one kind of atom.A compound contains two or more different atoms bonded together.
Are compounds formed when atoms of two different elements join together?
Yes, two or more different atoms of two or more different elements will, when chemically bonded, make a chemical compound.
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.
