Detailed explanation-1: -A compound consists of atoms of two or more different elements. The properties of resultant compounds are different from those of the properties of elements from which they are formed. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means but cannot be broken by physical means.

Detailed explanation-2: -A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. A compound always has the same elements in the same proportions. The properties of compounds are different from the properties of the elements that form them sometimes very different.

Detailed explanation-3: -False, A compound’s properties are different from that of its constituent elements. For example, water is made up of oxygen, a gas and hydrogen which is also a gas, whereas water, a compound formed by oxygen and hydrogen, is a liquid. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-4: -Elements can be chemically combined into compounds, therefore, a compound consists of two or more elements combined, in definite proportions, by chemical means. Compounds may be formed by combining atoms of their constituent elements by ionic bonds or by covalent bonds.
