There are a great many possible answers to that question. One familiar example is sodium and chlorine, which combine to make the stable compound sodium chloride, also known as table salt.
Compounds
The atoms in compounds are held together by chemical bonds
No, oxygen and argon do not form an ionic compound together. Oxygen typically forms covalent compounds and argon is a noble gas that does not readily form compounds due to its stable electron configuration.
No, different compounds found together but not chemically combined do not make up an element. An element is defined as a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom, characterized by its atomic number. Compounds are formed from two or more elements that are chemically bonded together. Therefore, a mixture of compounds does not change the fundamental nature of the individual elements present.
When atoms bond together they make molecules or compounds, depending on if the atom bonds with another atom of the same species or a different chemical
They have very stable electron configuration. They does not tend to make compounds.
No, magnesium (Mg) typically forms compounds with other elements by losing two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, while lithium (Li) generally forms compounds by donating one electron. As a result, they are unlikely to form stable compounds together due to their significantly different bonding behavior.
No. Alpha radiation can trigger chemical reactions, but it cannot change the fact that helium does not form stable chemical bonds. Even if you could find a way of forcing such compounds together, they would spontaneously decompose.
No, not only phosphorus can form stable compounds. Many elements can combine to form stable compounds depending on their chemical properties and bonding capabilities. These compounds can be created through various chemical reactions involving different elements.
by gluing it together.
molecules and compounds
Yes, chemical compounds are made up of elements combined together.

Carbon has the ability to make 4 strong covalent bonds with other elements or carbon atoms. Also it can make stable double, triple bonds with other atoms. Carbon can make long stable chains .
Silver is stable in its elemental form in normal conditions. However, it can react with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish (silver sulfide), which can make it appear unstable or less bright over time.
