A binary compound is something consisting of precisely two elements.
An element is a type of substance that can’t be further divided into simpler substances through chemical methods. Any of those boxes on a periodic table of elements represent an element. A few examples of chemical elements are hydrogen, oxygen, and iron.
This means that a binary compound will be composed of two different chemical elements.
Water (H2O), Hydrogen sulfide( H2S), and Ammonia (NH3) are examples of binary compounds.
Gold (Au), Iron(Fe), Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and Nitric acid (HNO3) are examples of substances that are not chemical compounds.
