Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical Compounds are substances that are made up of 2 or more elements that have reacted to each other through a chemical bond to give a different substance to the initial elements.

The chemical formula is an expression used to indicate the molecular composition of a compound. In other words, it indicates by means of symbols the elements that make up the compounds and their proportion.
