Examples of Chemical Compounds

Chemical compounds are substances that are made up of atoms of two or more different elements. There are millions of known compounds formed from various elements that exist in nature. The elements combine in a fixed ratio to form a specific chemical compound, and the constituent atoms are held together by chemical bonds. The composition or the ratio in which the elements are present in the compound, plays a key role in determining the properties of the compound. The compounds are named according to the rules decided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Classification of Chemical Compounds

Chemical compounds can be broadly classified into two categories, namely, organic compounds and inorganic compounds. While organic compounds are further classified on the basis of the functional group present, inorganic compounds are classified on the basis of the type of bonds between the constituent atoms. Here we shall look at some examples of compounds under each category.
