Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a compound: A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together in fixed proportions.
Examine each option to determine if it fits the definition of a compound:
NaCl consists of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms chemically bonded, so it is a compound.
CO_2 consists of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms chemically bonded, so it is a compound.
H_2O consists of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms chemically bonded, so it is a compound.
O_2 consists of only oxygen atoms bonded together; since it contains only one type of element, it is a molecule but not a compound.
