Chemical compounds Compounds are made from two or more different elements chemically joined together.
Chemical compounds and elementsare given shortened codes to identify them – their periodic code.
The chemical formula shows how many atoms of each element is contained within the compound.
A molecule of water (H2O) contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO²) contains two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom.
A molecule of carbon monoxide (CO) contains one oxygen atom and one carbon atom.
A molecule of methane gas (CH4) contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
