The substance made when atoms from two or more elements combine chemically

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to make a perfect sandwich, but you only have separate ingredients like bread, cheese, and ham. Just like combining these ingredients transforms them into a delicious sandwich, atoms from different elements join together to form a compound with new properties. In this analogy, the bread, cheese, and ham represent individual atoms, while the complete sandwich represents the compound, illustrating how combined elements create something entirely new and different from their individual parts.
