Compounds are substances that have two or more atoms bonded together. Carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and table salt (NaCl) and methane (CH4) are all compounds. There are literally millions of different chemical compounds. An example of a substance that isn't a compound is hydrogen gas (H2), because it is only composed of one type of element.
