Solution

The substance made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined in a fixed ratio is called a compound.

Explanation:

  • Element refers to a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means and consists of only one type of atom.
  • A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded and can vary in composition.
  • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, where one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another (the solvent).

In contrast, a compound has a specific chemical structure and properties that are distinct from those of the individual elements that comprise it. For example, water (H₂O) is a compound made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, combined in a fixed ratio.
