Chemical Compounds: Types, Bonding, and Reactions

A chemical compound is composed of many identical molecules containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds.
Chemical compounds can be transformed into a different substance by a chemical reaction, which may involve interactions with other substances.
There are four major types of compounds, including molecular compounds held together by covalent bonds; ionic compounds held together by ionic bonds; intermetallic compounds held together by metallic bonds; coordination complexes held together by coordinate covalent bonds.
A chemical formula specifies the number of atoms of each element in a compound molecule, using the standard chemical symbols with numerical subscripts.
Many chemical compounds have a unique CAS number identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service.
Any substance consisting of two or more different types of atoms in a fixed stoichiometric proportion can be termed a chemical compound.
Chemical compounds have a unique and defined chemical structure held together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical bonds.
There is varying and sometimes inconsistent nomenclature differentiating substances, which include truly non-stoichiometric examples, from chemical compounds, which require fixed ratios.
Molecules are electrically neutral groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Ionic compounds are chemical compounds composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces.
Intermetallic compounds are metallic alloys that form an ordered solid-state compound between two or more metallic elements.
Bonding and forces in compounds differ based on the types of elements present in the compound.
Compounds can be converted to a different chemical composition by interaction with a second chemical compound via a chemical reaction.
