When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. ... Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).
A chemical compound is formed when two separate elements are chemically mixed, forming chemical bonds between their atoms. Most elements on Earth create chemical compounds with other elements, such as sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) to form table salt (NaCl).
