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

Real World Example

Imagine trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece on its own doesn't form a complete image. Similar to how individual jigsaw puzzle pieces combine to create a complete picture, atoms from different elements chemically bond to form a compound, creating a new substance with unique properties. Just as the jigsaw pieces fit together to reveal a new image, the atoms join to form a compound, illustrating how combining separate parts can result in something entirely new and functional.
