What is a chemical compound of two or more atoms?

  1. Element

  2. Compound

  3. Molecule

  4. Mix

The correct answer is: Molecule

A) An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom, so it cannot be a combination of multiple atoms. B) While "compound" is part of the correct answer, it does not fully answer the question as it does not explicitly mention atoms. D) A mix is a combination of two or more substances but it does not necessarily involve atoms combining with each other to form a new compound.
