Chemical combination of two or more elements

A compound is chemically combining two or more elements together to get another compound. A compound is the combination of two or more elements, to achieve a compound, the two or more elements would have to undergo chemical combination. Examples of chemical combinations include heating, passing an electric current through the elements. After combining both elements, they might posses the same charateristics as they did when the were in their element state. Several examples of compounds are water which is the combination of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. All the different types of elements can be found in the periodic table. However, a mixture differs from a compound, a mixture is simply the combination of two or more elements together.One example would be the mineral water which can be bought from the supermarket. The water which are bought contains impurities there are simply added into the water to increase the nutrient content of the water. Mixtures, unlike compunds, do not have a fixed ratio of proportion that is required. The maker can add any amount of element in with the other. One example would be metal alloys.
