A compound is a pure substance that is formed by the combination of atoms of two or more elements by either transfer or by sharing of electrons. The atoms of the different elements in a compound are chemically combined in a fixed and constant proportion. If this proportion is di..

(KNO 2 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO). The properties of compounds are absolutely different from the properties of the elements that constitute the compound. For instance, hydrogen is combustible and oxygen is a supporter of combustion. Bu..

Factoids - A chemical compound is always electrically neutral. The positive and negative valencies of the ions/radicals in a compound are equal and balance..
