A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically bond together in fixed proportions. These elements can be either metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. The properties of a compound are often distinct from those of the individual elements that compose it, making compounds fundamental to chemistry. Examples include water (H₂O), where hydrogen and oxygen combine, and sodium chloride (NaCl), formed from sodium and chlorine.
