Question

How are Compounds Formed?

Answer 1

Formation of Compounds:

• When two or more elements are combined through a chemical reaction then a compound is formed.
• Complex molecules such as proteins are formed by a series of reactions involving elements and simple compounds.
• Compounds are written with chemical formulas involving the atomic symbol of each atom or molecule that consists of a given compound.
• Example: Water(${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ ) is a compound formed from the combination of two Hydrogen and one Oxygen atom.

Therefore. The combination of two or more elements leads to the formation of a compound.
