Compound

Compound explained in an easy to understand way:

Imagine trying to bake a cake with ingredients from your pantry. Just as flour, sugar, eggs, and butter combine to create something new and delicious when baked together, atoms from different elements combine to form a compound. In both scenarios, individual components (ingredients or atoms) come together to create a new entity with distinct properties, like a cake or a chemical compound, that is different from any of its individual parts.
