A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

Characteristics of a medium wave. They are <span>Wavelengths in this band are long enough that radio waves are not blocked by buildings and hills and can propagate beyond the horizon following the curvature of the Earth; this is called the </span>ground wave<span>. Practical groundwave reception typically extends to 200–300 miles, with longer distances over terrain with higher </span>ground conductivity<span>, and greatest distances over salt water. Most broadcast stations use ground wave to cover their listening area. Hope this helps. :)</span>
