  • What Are Compounds? Examples and Chemical Composition
    H2O (water), CO2 (carbon dioxide), and NaCl (sodium chloride) are all examples of compounds.

    Here's why:

    * Compounds are formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.

    * H2O is formed from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

    * CO2 is formed from one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

    * NaCl is formed from one sodium atom and one chlorine atom.
