Two or more atoms that combine are defined as?

In general, two atoms that combine through chemical bonding are referred to as a molecule. However, through nuclear fusion (as can be found in the sun and other stars) the new atom is defined by the number of protons in its new nucleus. Note: If it's two ions that are combined, than it makes an ion-bonding


How do two elements combine together?

Two elements combine together through a chemical reaction where their atoms interact with each other to form a compound. This can happen through sharing or transferring of electrons, resulting in the formation of chemical bonds between the atoms of the two elements. The properties of the new compound are different from the properties of the individual elements.


What is it called when two substances are added together but don't combine chemically?

When two substances are added together but do not chemically combine, it is called a physical mixture or a physical combination. The substances retain their original properties and can be easily separated by physical means such as filtration or distillation.


What is it called when two different atoms combine?

When two different atoms combine, it is called a chemical bond. This can occur through different types of interactions such as covalent bonds, ionic bonds, or metallic bonds. The resulting molecule or compound formed can have different properties than the individual atoms.


What is formed when two or more elements combine chemically and what is its smallest unit usually called?

Two or more elements combined chemically is a compound and the smallest unit is a molecule.
