Answer:baking soda

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound is formed by chemical reaction of atoms of elements. A compound is actually formed by chemical combination of elements. A soul, a Powerade, air and a lead like are not compounds. In the first three items mentioned, on!y a mixture of substances are involved. There isn't any chemical combination at all. Lead pipe only consists of one kind of element. No other thing combines with it at all.
