    A compound can be defined as a substance which is made up of 2 or more different types of atoms or ions combined in a definite proportion by chemical bonds.

    A. Water - It is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom joined by chemical bonds. Hence, it is a compound.

    B. Iodine - It generally exists as I2. thus it is made up of only 1 type of atoms. ∴ It is not a compound.

    C. Calcium - It is an element not a compound.
