Compounds are made when atoms of 2 different elements are combined in regular forms.
Repeating patterns of either atoms (one element) or molecules (2 or more elements), or perhaps ionic bonded atoms (2 or more elements, ionic bonds) are found in solids.
The most regular patterns are found in crystals which is a type of solid.

Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?
No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
How do radioisotopes of an element differ feom other isotopes?
Radioisotopes are "radioactive isotopes"; they are not stable. Radioactive atoms will decay, or break apart into other atoms, by emitting an electron, or a neutron or a positron or an alpha particle (2 protons and two neutrons). The rate at which this happens is measured by the "half-life"; after one half-life, half of the atoms will have decayed. After another half-life, half of the remaining atoms will have decayed. Atoms with short half-lives are highly radioactive, and can be fairly dangerous. Atoms with long half-lives are only slightly radioactive, and aren't all that dangerous.
Would carbon dating work if carbon-14 atoms did not decay at a constant rate and why?
Statistically carbon-14 atoms decay at a constant rate.
What is the source of radio activiy?
Radioactivity is caused by unstable atoms, that break apart.

True or false the phrase crystal structure refers to the repeating patterns in which atoms are arranged in a crystal?
False. In a crystalline structure, atoms are in an orderly arrangement.
What is formed when molecules or atoms form repeating patterns?
They form what is called a crystal. for more information on crystals you can read the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal
