3 What makes compounds different? compounds are formed as the result of a chemical change the elements combine to form a new substance with new properties a chemical change is also required to break a compound down A compound has a definite chemical composition. Example: Water is always H 2 O. Example : Carbon Dioxide is always CO 2
