No. Anything called "ideal" in science (ideal pendulum, ideal lever, ideal gas, etc.) is an approximation of the real thing, used to simplify calculations. A real pendulum may get fairly close to an ideal pendulum, and similar in other "ideal" things, but it will never be exactly the same.
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
An ideal pendulum is one in which no air resistance or friction is present. Hence when set into motion it never loses energy to it's surrondings. So when released, and left to swing, the energy potential it had get's convertedinto kinetic energy and therefore the pendulum swings. When it reaches it's amplitude(Highest swing) the energy is converted back to potential, and as it falls back to kinetic. As it is "ideal" it never loses energy to heat/ friction. Therefore, the conversion of kinetic energy to potential etc etc will always be constant and it will never stop. Although in reality it is impossible to have an "ideal" pendulum, near ideal ones can be obtained by suspending the pendulum in a vacuum.

In an ideal pendulum, the only factors that affect the period of a pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The latter, although often taken to be constant, can vary by as much as 5% between sites. In a real pendulum, the amplitude will also have an effect; but if the amplitude is relatively small, this can safely be ignored.
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
no we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum because for this the string should be weightless and inextendible.
A simple pendulum consists of : . Bob of very small size .suspended by a weightless, inextensible flexible string There are ideal parameters. so,No it is not possible to realize an ideal simple pendulum in practice , because these conditions could not be fullfilled 100%.

An ideal (simple) pendulum has ONE mass, and a massless cord that sustains it.

The ideal thing is to realize the light was beaming. Ideally you should have realized it was the lighthouse beaming in the fog. Beaming with surprise, Peter began to realize he could be the ideal candidate.
An Ideal pendulum is ones that would be the first choice if you could choose all the materials (ideal materials). A practical pendulum is one that is readily available and reliable (made from things you have right now and are available to use).

Answer: The combined inertia of the arm and pendulum would alter the energy characteristics of the system and throw off the timing. Answer: If the mass of the arm is not negligible, then you can no longer assume (as in an ideal pendulum) that the entire mass is concentrated in the swinging object at the bottom. The center of mass would be higher up. Exactly how high depends on the characteristics of the pendulum; details can be calculated with integral calculus.
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
