The properties of compounds are different, and in some cases very different, from those of the elements that compose them. This is because elements combine in compounds to become completely different substances with unique properties.

Compounds contain atoms of different elements chemically bonded in fixed ratios. An element is a pure chemical substance made up of atoms of the same kind. Compounds contain different elements in fixed ratios, arranged in a defined way by chemical bonds.

This is caused by different base properties where each element has a different number. Due to the number of electrons and differences in shell and valence electrons, different elements bond differently to certain other elements.

Compounds:

is composed of atoms of two or more different elements bonded together, and

can be broken down into simpler types of matter (elements) by chemical (rather than physical) means. from its components, and.

always contains the same proportions of atomic components.
