* Compounds are formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.
Let's analyze each option:
* CH4 (Methane): Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) combined.
* H2O (Water): Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) combined.
* NH4 (Ammonium): Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H) combined.
* N2 (Nitrogen gas): This is a diatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two atoms of the same element (Nitrogen) bonded together. It's not a compound because it's composed of only one type of element.
Therefore, N2 is not a compound.
