The first compound ever identified is generally considered to be water (H₂O), as it has been known since ancient times and is essential for life. However, in a more chemical context, the first compound to be synthesized and recognized as such was probably ammonia (NH₃) by the chemist Joseph Priestley in the 18th century. The understanding of compounds evolved significantly with the development of modern chemistry, leading to the identification of many other compounds thereafter.
