Are things around us usually made of pure elements or combinations of elements?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Things around us are usually made up of combinations of elements. These combinations are called molecules. Molecules make up combinations called compounds.

Water is an example. There are 2 oxygen atoms and 1 hydrogen atom (oxygen and hydrogen are elements). Together there molecules make up H2O (water) which is a compound.

I hope this makes sense! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)
